All Because of You by Lindsay HarrelMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Another great visit to Walker Beach. We’ve met Evan in book 1 and it was great to see his story. Still trying to proof himself after a not so great past, he is struggling with doing the right thing, pleasing others and fighting for what he wants. His father is quite something, though.
Maddison with her own fears after her early childhood losses, had to learn who to trust and let in.
"People may disappoint you, Madison, and that's a risk we take in relationships. But there is also great joy to be found in closeness with others."
This was another heartwarming short story set in a great setting with a great supportive community and finding one’s path in this world. Even though I saw early on what would happen at the end, it was still sweet to watch.
Love had been a greater motivator than fear, hurt, and anger.
These stories are shorter (less than 200 pages) but still full bodied with character growth and sweet romances.
"You will never know what will happen when you kick down your walls and open your heart to love."

About the book:
Madison Price’s plans have fallen to ashes.
Instead of working in an Oregon library, she’s back in Walker Beach, California—a town full of painful memories—running her late aunt’s hardware store and falling for the gorgeous bad boy from high school. Again.
Yes, the same jerk who made Madison’s high school days a living nightmare. The one who, somehow, doesn’t remember her. But if the sparks flying between them are any indication, this time he will.
For the first time in his life, assistant community developer Evan Walsh is on the straight and narrow. He’s up for a promotion and helping Walker Beach recover from an economic downturn. But doing the right thing for the town might mean putting the woman he loves out of business.
Evan’s in trouble—in more ways than one. And though Trouble used to be his middle name, this time there’s no easy escape.
