Temptation on Ocean Drive, A heart-stirring novel of unrequited love and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst is live!
Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.
Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.
But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts’ fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they’re going to have to fight for.

He repeated the question. “I need to know. Why was it easier not to believe me?”
This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Because then I could pretend you weren’t the man I really wanted.”
“And do you? Want me?”
She jerked back. Her tongue slipped out to wet her bottom lip. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes.”
He muttered a curse. Then leaned forward, his hand cupping her chin. “I want to kiss you, Bella. I’ve been wanting to kiss you forever, but I need to know it’s okay.”
She stared at him, pupils dilated, ragged breaths panting from her lips, and he knew this moment would be carved out in his mind—the first time he saw her face reflect her open want for him. She gave a tiny nod.
He moved closer. His lips stopped an inch from hers. “No. You need to say it.”
“Yes. Kiss me, Gabe.”
His mouth covered hers.

This is book 2 in the series and it looked like it would be amazing and it so is. Gabe works at the bridal company with Bella. He fell in love with her the second he met her. But she is a widow with a young daughter and well she really loved her husband and so his death is something that she is having a tough time moving on from.
Bella in this book has two issues.
1. She really loved her husband and while she knows she needs to move on, she was so devestated that its hard to open herself to that kind of pain again.
2. She believes Gabe is so great that he will never stay in their small bridal company and so she believes that eventually he will leave anyways.
What I loved about this story was Gabe. he is an awesome character and he wants Bella so badly. I loved how great he is with her, her family, her daughter and how much he loves his job. He wants Bella so badly and loves her so much and he really tries to get her to see that.
The only part I hated about this story was the side story with Dana but while it was a needed part of this story, to get Bella to move on, I hated those scenes.
