Audiobook: At the River’s Edge : Mariah Stewart

Description

There’s a reason why Mariah Stewart’s Chesapeake Diaries books make the New York Times bestseller lists. They’re addicting. All of the women in my family read this series, and I think I may actually have been the last one to finish the latest romance, At the River’s Edge. This seventh book in the series is just as compelling as the earlier books. They’re hard to put down. Each book opens and closes with Grace Sinclair’s diary entries. The owner and editor of the St. Dennis Gazette chronicles the arrivals, business openings, and romances in St. Dennis, Maryland, a tourist town on Chesapeake Bay. The townspeople are awaiting the wedding of Jesse Enright and Brooke Bowers. The engaged couple is pleased when Jesse’s sister Sophie shows up in town. A lawyer like the others in her family, she flees to St. Dennis after she catches her boyfriend in the backseat of his car with another woman. Once she arrives in town, her brother and grandfather urge her to stay and join the family practice, Enright & Enright. But, Sophie has her eye on a rundown building. It had always been her dream to run a restaurant. However, Jason Bowers had his eye on that same building. After his brother’s death in Iraq, Jason sold his landscaping business in Florida, and moved to St. Dennis to be near his sister-in-law Brooke and her son. He’s started another landscaping company, and even has a major project recreating the gardens at Sophie’s grandfather’s. He likes the looks of the latest Enright to show up in town, and thinks he finally met the woman of his dreams. But, neither Jason nor Sophie know they’re trying to buy the same property in St. Dennis.
