In the wake of his wife's murder, agent Grady Shields turned his back on the FBI - and everything else-to retreat into the vast solitude of Montana, grieve for his lost love, and forget the world. But after years in seclusion, his sister's wedding draws him to St. Dennis, a peaceful town on the Chesapeake Bay. Though he swears he isn't interested in finding love again, Grady can't ignore the mutual sparks that fly when he meets Vanessa Keaton.

Publisher's summary
From New York Times best-selling author Mariah Stewart comes a new chapter in her celebrated Chesapeake Diaries series, featuring her signature "rich characterization, charming setting, and a romance you'll never forget" (Robyn Carr, New York Times best-selling author).
Architect Cassidy Logan has sworn off good-looking adventurers. Newly divorced, she's focused on building ecologically friendly, historically accurate homes on the Chesapeake Bay for her father's construction company. Traveling to Cannonball Island - where there has been no new construction in nearly 100 years - Cass is sensitive to the heritage of the island and has come up with plans so perfect she's determined to buy a home for herself. Even the fact that Owen Parker - a local whom she dismisses as a lightweight and a player - seems to be everywhere isn't enough to deter her from building her dream house.
Owen Parker is and always has been sinfully handsome and wickedly clever, a magnet for mischief as well as girls. He's a rolling stone, going and doing whatever appeals to him, from flying a mail plane in Alaska to working on a cattle ranch in Australia and a shrimp boat in Louisiana and surfing and diving in Costa Rica. When an old friend offers him a job salvaging a sunken ship on the Chesapeake Bay, Owen gladly accepts. Something's been telling him it's time to head home to Cannonball Island, and a job is as good an excuse as any. And he's totally smitten by the pretty architect on the scene, but it seems he's finally met a woman who's immune to his charms. Sooner or later, Owen will have to face the reason why he always runs, because this time, leaving just might be harder than staying.

Good Storyline
The plot, story was as good as the rest of the books in this series. The narrator detracted from the o real rating. Xe Sands narrated the first books—and I got spoiled listening to her. This narrator didn’t change voices—all were basically the same. She will probably stop my purchase of the next book in the series because she is the narrator.

Terrible Narrator
The decision to step away from Xe Sands as the narrator did not serve the story well. Having listened to and gotten accustomed to the “sound” of each of the characters voices only to have them changed in the second to last book in the series was maddening. In this book, it was difficult to discern who was speaking because all the characters sound pretty much the same and have a funky almost Irish accent. Bizarre 🙄

Narrater threw me for a loop
I love EX Sands narration of the The Chesapeake Diaries Series. The new Narrator was okay, but lost me a bit listening to her voices. EX Sands nailed the all the voices, and Joy, is a little more like going to the school Library.
However the story line is wonderful! One more in the series, I hate to see it end.

I very much disliked the narrator of this book. It was very difficult and confusing to discern the characters. I have recently listened to the entire series but I may choose to read (kindle) instead of listen to any more books in the series if this narrator continues to be the narrator choice for this series. Please bring back Xe Sand. I have never written a review before but I thought is was important to speak my mind. Judy Desmarteau

Sounds like Lucky the leprechaun.
I started listening to this series because I follow books read by XE Sands. I almost stopped listening entirely, It's hard to follow the characters now. I decided to change the speed to see if it made a difference. It did BUT it's no XE Sands.

I Love this whole series...good easy listen but cute stories.
I love the series as a whole ans Xe Sands narration however the fact that she is not the narrator on these last 2 books...is very very disheartening. Totally killed my enthusiasm on the series and I can o ly recommend to listen through book 10 because its just not the same without Xe narrating.

The narrator missed it.
I'm not fond of leaving negative comments, especially since I adore this series, but when Grace dictates her diary entries, she should not sound like she's in her 20s/30s. Also, the Cannonball Island people should not sound Scottish. The narrator changed the whole feel of the book.
