Oaklee, Pastor Dan's sister, is sort of a Jill-of-all-trades. She realizes she loves event planning. Isaak works at Good Hope Outfitters, he takes people on boat tours around the peninsula. What neither realize is that Gladys is going to match them both up next. She put them against each other to come up with ideas for things to do during the Fourth of July, along with picnics and singles nights at the Ding-a- Ling. Isaak wants traditional items, Oaklee wants to do a baking competition. Gladys has them write down their ideas and present them at their next meeting.
Isaak and Oaklee are thrown together by Gladys, and their meetings turn into overnights in each others beds. Isaak uses Oaklee on a boat tour to show her how much fun it is. She loves working for Isaak, and seeing him at night.Oaklee and Dan's parents are in town. Their Dad is hypercritical of Oaklee. Hates her outrageous hair colors, the way she dresses, and that she dropped out of college. Isaak tries to stick up for her but nothing works. Their Dad criticizes Katie Ruth, Dan's wife, and Dan tells them to pack their bags. They leave. Isaak tells Oaklee he loves her, wants to marry her and have a family. Oaklee thinks Isaak is like her Dad, wants her to do things his way, but that's not true. Dan talks to Isaak, who then talks to Oaklee. They say three words again, and realize they can make their own future together.
Up next is Together in Good Hope featuring Izzie Deshler, and her ex who ripped her heart out. He is the new doctor in town, and she is painting a mural on the front of his building.
I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
