As a firefighter, Captain Ken Cavanaugh knows his way around dangerous situations - but he'd rather run into a burning building than help plan his 25th high school reunion in Barefoot Bay. Unfortunately, it's his best chance of finally putting things right with Beth Endicott two and a half decades after they ended so badly. But the instant they see each other again, the years blow away like ashes in the heat of their combustible chemistry. For one single night, they let their incendiary passion consume them...but in the morning, they're still left with the smoldering wreckage of a relationship that ended in tragedy. Raised under the thumb of a rich and controlling man, Beth has spent her adult years craving freedom. Now that she's finally managed to carve out an independent life, is she ready to risk her heart on the first man she ever loved - a man who blames her family for his father's death? With so much painful history between them, Beth can't see a way to have a future with Ken. But one stunning surprise will turn everything they ever believed upside down, and send them straight into each other's arms.… (lisätietoja)

Thanks to youthful immaturity we all have that one moment of regret that follows us into adulthood. Wishing we could right a wrong from our past. A high school reunion, a long overdue apology and one shocking event leaves Ken Cavanaugh and Beth Endicott in a place neither expected to be. On the brink of a second chance. Ms. St. Claire is in no way stingy with the romance. The only difference I see between her Barefoot Bay Timeless and her other Barefoot Bay novels is that the connections are deeper and the ability to forgive and admit mistakes is more readily followed through on. Of course there are still lessons to be learned at any age but the ability to accept one's own faults becomes a little easier with maturity. Whether 20 or older love is never easy. Age is irrelevant. Barefoot Bay at Moonrise is a wonderful footprint for love at any age. ( )

My favorite of the Barefoot Bay universe so far!

I really enjoyed Barefoot at Moonrise. A second-chance romance with a firefighter hero (and his un-firefighterly dog)? Yes, please! I loved "only you can call me" Kenny and "poster child for independent women" Beth. Together or apart, they are a hero and heroine it's easy to root for. They're not perfect--Beth takes the independent bit a little too far at times, and Ken has a tendency to see things as a bit more black-and-white then they actually are--but together they compliment each other nicely.

Plus, did I mention there's a dog involved? And a shirtless firefighter performing a demolition of a kitchen and master bath? Not to mention Ken has a a boat and a dock with a nice big Adirondack chair on it. Waterfront. Property. Really, I'm not sure what more you could want from a hero. Goodness knows he had me from page one.

And Beth owns her own business and typically does her own demolitions, except when she can't because of reasons. How cool is that?

Though it's second in the trilogy, Moonrise worked just fine as a standalone. It gives you enough of a glimpse of the hero of book one (Mike from Barefoot at Sunset) and book three (Lawson from Barefoot at Midnight--I cannot wait to see that guy become a one-woman man! I'm pretty sure there will be kicking and screaming involved) that you'll probably find your TBR increasing by two more before you're even finished with this one.

The Barefoot Bay Timeless trilogy almost makes me want to go to my next high school reunion.

But only almost. Because really, let's not get crazy. It is fiction, after all. And I remember high school just a little too well, for all that it was mumble, mumble years ago. ;)

Rating: 4 stars / B+

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Barefoot at Moonrise by Roxanne St. Claire is a 2016 South Street Publishing release. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, I must applaud the author for creating a romantic series featuring mature adults, who is given a second chance at love at a stage in their lives I can relate to. Yay! This series proves romance is ageless and timeless!

When Ken’s father died in a work related accident, he blamed Beth’s father. He said some truly horrible things to Beth and broke up with her.

Over the years, Ken married and divorced, as did Beth. Ken is now a firefighter, and Beth flips houses. With Ken’s upcoming high school reunion on tap, he decides to attend hoping to touch base with Beth in order to apologize for the things he said to her all those years ago.

The apology goes much better than he ever could have hoped, as the old chemistry between he and Beth still sizzles and burns, hotter than ever before. But, Beth escaped a controlling father and husband, and has managed to forge her own way, meaning she is not ready to jump back into a relationship, and is fiercely protective of her hard earned independence. But, the main issue between the couple is Ken’s continued resentment and hatred toward Beth’s father. His grudge has festered for twenty-five years, and would most assuredly resurface time and again, if he and Beth got back together.

But, a shocking turn of events will tie the couple together with inescapable bonds, forcing them to deal with the past once and for all. Was Beth’s father responsible or is there more to the story? Can Ken ever find a way to forgive in order to have a future with Beth?

This is a terrific second chance at love story that pits two people together who are at emotional odds with each other. While there is no doubt Ken is ready to take the plunge with Beth, he has many issues to work through before the relationship can ever solidify.

I admired Beth’s ability to step back and view the whole picture, to keep an open mind, and to think through all her options as selflessly as possible. She shows grit and determination, and stood up to the men in her life, while trying to keep the peace between them.

The underlying theme here is the danger of harboring hatred in your heart, because it will only poison every relationship you try to foster. Forgiveness, as difficult as it is at times, is the only way to know inner peace, for yourself and those you love.

I loved the way things worked out for Ken and Beth, and the very special circumstances that brought them back to one another. This couple deserves all the success, hope, and happiness they received, and can now share their lives with true joy and peace between them!

Overall this one gets 4 stars ( )
