Return to Hummingbird Way: Includes a bonus novella

by Reese Ryan

Overview

In this heartwarming small‑town romance, can three months, two planning projects, and a meddling grandmother finally make two high school hate crushes see just how right they are for each other? 

Ambitious real estate agent Sinclair Buchanan is ecstatic to be her best friend’s maid-of-honor—until she discovers the best man is Garrett Davenport. Sin and Rett’s mutual hate crush ignited when they were teens and hasn’t let up since . . . except for that one extremely hot (and extremely regrettable) night they shared five years ago. 

Nothing gets Rett fired up like going toe-to-toe with Sinclair. She’s as infuriatingly stubborn, and as absolutely gorgeous, as when he fell for her back in high school. Working together to plan their best friends’ last-minute wedding is one thing, but when his matchmaking grandmother gets involved Rett knows he’s in deep. Attraction has always simmered between them, but this time, they’re both in danger of losing their hearts.

Sinclair Buchanan and Garrett Davenport have always coexisted with a level of tension between them. Since their best friends dated in high school, the pair had ample opportunities to snipe at each other, and neither have found a reason to stop. Part of the tension, though, was attraction, and after a chance encounter at a work function led to a hotel hookup, that friction ratcheted even higher. Now the same best friends are getting married, and Sin and Rett have agreed to put their differences aside to help the people they love. With both temporarily on Holly Grove Island, Rett's grandmother asks them to collaborate on updating and selling her house. As they work to manage their expanding list of projects, a growing respect for each other, both personally and professionally, starts to mingle with lust, and the pair know they are at a crossroads. VERDICT Ryan follows Second Chance on Cypress Lane with another warm and sultry story set on Holly Grove Island, anchored by a stubborn duo not afraid to defy expectations once they realize what they want.—Kellie Tilton
