Saltwater Wishes: Marlin Shores Book 3 - a small town second chance romance Kindle Edition

Saltwater Wishes

Tony

I used to be the hometown hero until I walked away and never looked back.

I’m back in town under duress, and everyone knows it. My father’s will has given me no option but to spend the year in Marlin Shores and not back in New York running my business where I belong.

A year is a long time to avoid your ex in a town this size. Mary and I had something special until I threw it all away. Looks like I threw away more than I knew, because apparently, I have a daughter who wants to get to know me. I guess there’s no avoiding anything anymore, not even Mary, the woman who makes me want to yell and kiss her all at the same time.

Mary

I should have known I couldn’t keep a secret this big in a town this small.

Tony’s back in town, and now he’s back in my life. He’s arrogant, sexy and infuriating and yet I can’t seem to stay away from him. I can’t let him back into our lives if he’s just planning on leaving again. My daughter deserves better and so do I.

Now I just need to keep him at arm’s length and not wrap my arms around him the way I really want to.

If you like high stakes small town romance with a hint of heat and a guaranteed HEA, Saltwater Wishes is for you.

This small town second chance romance about two people finding their way home to each other and to their family is the third book in the new Marlin Shores trilogy by USA Today Bestselling author Monique McDonell but can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful second chance!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    I loved this series! All of the characters have been delightful and have rallied around each other through the tough times and celebrated the good times with a loving feeling of "family." And it appears the patriarch of the family, Clint Montgomery, knew that the terms of his will was indeed best for his sons and the town of Marlin Shores.

    It truly was worth the wait for this third book where Tony, the oldest brother and multi-millionaire, finally meets the twelve year old daughter Addy he never knew existed. This unexpected meeting makes an inroad to his way back to Mary, the mother of Addy, and the woman he left at the altar so many years before. Monique did an awesome job slowly creating their path forward. Her writing is filled with interesting revelations about why each of them made the decisions that would change their course to the future. It wasn't all smooth sailing, not with a pre-teen and so many memories of bad choices. However, there was a wonderful twist near the end that I never saw coming. That amped up the connection! I've really enjoyed all the characters in this series and am sorry it's ended. These three books are truly heartwarming and I highly recommend them!

    Saltwater Wishes is the 3rd & last book in the Marlin Shores book series. Tony Montgomery is called back to Marlin Shores for the stipulations in his dad's will that he must live in town for 1 year ,but he has good reason for his methods like an estranged daughter Addy and her mom Mary . Dad seems to be controlling his boys lives from beyond the grave.I'm sorry to see this series end.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A second chance romance
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    I was delighted to lay my hands on this final book in the Marlin Shores trilogy, as it wraps up the inheritance heavily weighed down with conditions, received by the Montgomery brothers. From the time Tony arrives in town, it becomes obvious to everyone that there is unfinished business between him and Mary Marshall, resulting in intense animosity. When the truth resulting from past mistakes explodes in Tony's face, he discovers that taking responsibility for his actions far easier than he would have anticipated. Mary has far more anger and angst to work through, especially as she is not immune to the gossip and opinions being voiced by the residents of the small town. Through it all, the Montgomery family's nemesis is twisting the knife and inciting feelings of anger and revenge. However, when he oversteps the line, the Montgomery brothers bond together to take action and bring a resolution to the blight on their lives. I am so pleased that the series has a successful outcome, and although feelings towards their deceased father are still complicated, ghosts are finally laid to rest. I received a copy of this romance as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

    Reviewed in Australia on June 22, 2021

    The characters in this series have been a delight to get to know. Tony and Mary's story was worth the wait. This story was very emotional with the discovery that Tony had a daughter that he didn't know about. It also becomes clear in this book that there was more to the Montgomery boys father than they ever thought possible. His will had a purpose far beyond anything they could imagine. Monique McDonnell has captured my heart with this series and I hope that in time she will revisit Marlin Shores and some of the secondary characters who need their story told.
