This is an entertaining, fun read. Seth and Fliss are interesting, flawed, scared, intriguing, relatable, complex, wounded, strong, fierce, complicated, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. The secondary characters – especially the dogs – added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

I enjoyed the audio version of this book and the narrator.

This next installment in the series From Manhattan with Love is great. Fliss runs into her exhusband and he just knows she still has feelings for him. They were young when they married and he let her go once and he isn't going to do it again. Now he has to convince her that what they had was real and that they still might have a chance at happiness. Can they let go of the pain of the past and move toward possible happiness? Only time in the Hamptons will tell. Can't wait for Harriet's story Moonlight Over Manhattan. Great read.

I really loved this book! I felt like Fliss' past experiences really shape how she sees herself all these years later and it added so much depth to her character. I like how both Seth and Fliss seem to have grown up, but they are still flawed despite being more mature. I think it's great that they don't both just open up about their feelings and admit their mistakes right off. That would be unrealistic. In fact, the fact that eventually they do is refreshing... I wish more people I run into would be like that, but as this book shows, it's a scary thing to do: to trust someone enough with all your thoughts and feelings.

I was hoping for my heartstrings to be tugged more and I really wanted a epilogue.

Having read all of the related Sarah Morgan books that are already out there as part of this series, I naturally wanted to read this as soon as I found out it was out.

It was a good summer read, perfect for taking to the beach. It was easy-going, fun, light and quick, much like Sarah Morgan's other stories, so in that respect, it absolutely lived up to expectations.

While I enjoyed the story of Fliss and Seth's reunification, I didn't find myself engaging with these characters in the same way that I have done with others of Sarah Morgan's creation. I'm not entirely sure I know why, but something didn't click on the same level as her other stories have. I did enjoy the plotline between Fliss and her grandmother, in fact Fliss in general as a character was charming, but there was something about Seth's part of the story that didn't sit right. I also wasn't quite sure that I could buy into how easy they both found it to come back together after all they had shared in the past.

Despite that, I still gave this story 4 stars, because the writing style and the characterisation did fulfil expectations and I still found the reading experience enjoyable.

I can only imagine that the author's next story will focus on Fliss' twin Harriet, so I await with baited breath to see whether or not I feel more connected with her story.

I love Sarah Morgan’s books.

We meet Fliss in the previous books in the series. She is an interesting but complicated character. She is completely stubborn and totally annoying in some aspects.
Seth was a pretty straight forward character. Open with what he wanted and he wants Fliss. They have a complicated relationship but they are perfect for each other. Most of this was Fliss getting over/past her hangups and sorting herself out.

Sarah Morgan is an excellent writer. She writes brilliant relatable characters and their stories draw you in.
They always leave me with a good feeling and they are perfect easy reads.
Perfect for a lazy weekend or a beach read.

Highly recommend all of her books and I definitely recommend starting with the first in the series.
