GRR Reviews Waiting for Love (Gansett Island) by Marie Force

Waiting for Love is yet another book in the Gansett Island series and this one is standalone, yet you'll get more out of it as it refers to characters and events from prior volumes. This one has a tighter focus, but the characters are a bit uneven.

Adam McCarthy is back on Gansett. He almost lost three brothers on that foggy night when their sailboat collided with a freighter, and he was betrayed by his lover out of his company he founded. He went back home to cope... and think... and ran into an old friend, Abby Callahan. Abby used to be a girlfriend of one of Adam's brothers, but that's a long time ago. She left him, and moved with a different BF to Texas... but she'd had enough of that life as well... she's back on Gansett, and she's determined to loosen up... by taking up swearing, getting a tattoo, and basically something that's NOT what a meek Abby would do. And the meek Abby would definitely not have a fling with Adam... so perhaps... the new Abby would...

Again, there was quite a bit of plot on the ancillary characters, but somehow the plots don't wrap around and converge near the end, or do so very minimally. It's good, but somehow, it feels it could be better.

Primary Plot: Woman and man are back on their home island, both been betrayed, wounded; maybe that's why they should be together...
