Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest and independent review.
This is the second book in the series that I have read and I enjoyed this one too.
An easy read which was well written with likeable characters. The relationship between Leah and Zach was inevitable but the build up was fun and made me smile.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.
3.5 ***

A really great romantic read that is full of love, hope, second changes, and family. I recommend this book for anyone who loves a good romance novel

Requested and received an ARC from NetGalley

So this is a new to me author and although it is book 3 in the series there was no problem just jumping into the series except for some issues between Zach and one of his sisters that was never explained to my satisfaction, but it may be that there were actual answers in her book. So going into this book I was sort of expecting a fairly dirty rockstar 2nd chance romance. This is NOT that book. This would be a good book for those who want a "clean" version of a rockstar romance. As tired as I got of Leah constantly thinking about jumping Zach prior to them getting down and (not so) dirty when the actual sex happened I was stymied. It had to have been one of the least descriptive sex acts I've read on page since I was about 10 and used to swipe my grandmother's Harlequin romances. It was actually better when she started just having it off page or fading to black because it was just odd. Made worse by the fact that they couldn't keep their hands off each other so a whole lot of nothing was going on a LOT. I also didn't like that there would be a scene change paragraph to paragraph without any kind of break or Chapter change and I have to go back to figure out what was going on. Hopefully that will be corrected prior to release. For the most part Leah and Zach were a couple you could root for....until the end. Zach pulled something so stupid and mean but it was so close to the end that I had no time to forgive him or understand why Leah ever would. I debated dropping the rating because I was so disappointed by the end but for the most part the book was an enjoyable. I do think this book would fare better with those people who want the rockstar romance without all the dirty sex and pesky drinking/drugs and partying.

Zach Harper constantly feels like he is living in the shadow of his famous father, and it's a daily struggle for him to break free of the shadow and earn a reputation in the music world on his own merit. He thought leaving Cloud Bay behind, and going out on his own would help him find the stardom he craved, but things didn't quite pan out like he thought, and now he finds himself returning home to face all that he left behind. Namely, Leah, a beautiful woman he spent one night with, and then walked away from without so much as a goodbye...

Leah Santelli has harbored a serious crush on Zach Harper for as long as she can remember, and the one night that they shared years ago, still lingers with her everyday. She so desperately wanted to explore the feelings their one night brought about, but Zach had other things on his mind, a music career that would bring him the stardom he craved. So, she reluctantly moved on, married another, but things didn't turn out like they were supposed to, and now she is a divorced woman trying to find her way in the music world. When she hears that Zach is returning home she is filled with reservations about seeing him again after all these years, but he could also be the one person who can help her break into the music world... problem is the moody musician has no interest in what she has to offer.

No Place Like You is a touching read that is filled with moments that will push your emotional buttons, and moments that will have your heart singing. This is my second visit to the series and I have to say I enjoyed this trip just as much as the first, these wonderful characters pulled me into their world, made me feel right at home, and their journey to finding forever left my heart happy. The story line was well crafted, it was poignant, rich with emotion, and kept me captivated from start to finish! Highly recommend you make a visit to Cloud Bay, the folks there will pull you into their world and have you never wanting to leave!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

Read both books back to back and could not put diathermy one down..

I am very invested in the people of Lansing Island. Zach and Leah's story was filled with love and home, and what those mean in our lives. I do find the overtly sexual overtones of the book detract from the heartwarming lessons about family and love. I think 'No Place Like You' has the single best hook I have ever read for the next book in the series. I look forward to it!

No Place Like You by Emma Douglas is a great read. Ms Douglas has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with phenomenal characters. Zach is trying to record his solo album. Leah works at the recording studio run by Zach's family. Their story is a second chance romance full of drama, humor and sexy bits. This story is fast-paced and kept me up way past my bedtime. I enjoyed reading No Place Like You and look forward to reading more from Emma Douglas soon. No Place Like You is book 3 in the Cloud Bay Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.

This is the third book in the Cloud Bay series. I haven’t read the previous romances in the series and didn’t have a problem following along with the various characters.

No Place Like You is a small-town reunion romance. Musician Zach Harper and Leah Santelli got together on her eighteenth birthday when she propositioned him, then he left. Fresh from a divorce, Leah sees complications when she realizes Zach has returned, but she also sees an opportunity since she wants to boost her career to the next level. With this in mind, she approaches Zach and asks if she can produce the album he’s working on to start his solo career.

It’s the characters and the small-town setting that makes this book work so well. The characters feel like best friends and the family links within the story bring both interest and cohesion. As I mentioned, this is a reunion romance, and while the plot doesn’t hold many surprises, this is an enjoyable read.

Fans of small-town romances will definitely enjoy this book and the rest of the series.

I fell in love with this crazy, loving and very real family - the Harper's. They are children of a legendary rock star and this has shaped the way they think, feel and act. This is very much true for Zach Harper. He is an emotional person but is not very good at showing those emotions. While he has tried his hardest to run from his Dad's legacy and not be like his Father, he is finding himself more and more like him. This tends to scare him and sometimes cause him to ignore his actions out of fear. He does not want to be anything like his Father (and when you read the story you understand fully why!). He loved his children but wasn't there for them in the way a child needs.

Leah is a kind, strong, independent young woman who has just recovered from a divorce. Although it was a divorce they both agreed on, it still caused her pain that she hasn't quite worked through. She works in the music industry as a producer and is trying to make a name for herself. She not only wants to use Zach for breaking out in the industry but she also has strong feelings for him - something that she continually tries to deny to him, herself and her best friend Faith. It was very interesting to find out about their secret past that they kept hidden from everyone!

As Zach works on his relationship with his family, his relationship steams up with Leah. You can see the two falling in love but holding so much of themselves back from each other. They both seem too afraid to just let go. You are constantly on the edge of your seat guessing if they will take that leap of faith or continue to hold back.

No Place Like You is a well written story of hope, finding oneself, taking that second chance and trust. Our main characters have to work past their own fears and past history in order to move into the future - one that may just hold a lifetime of happiness and love. It is in their hands to have a happy future but they struggle with putting the past where it belongs - in the past.

I loved every moment of this novel and could not put it down! While it is book three in the Cloud Bay series, you don't have to read the other ones first but I highly recommend you do (look out for another review of a book in this series, A Season of You, coming October 17th). This book is set to release December 5th, 2017.

I have enjoyed this series and have been looking forward to Zach's story. For some reason I had a disconnect with Mina's story but Zach's was spot on.

Zach is the only son of rock legend Grey Harper and while that might seem awesome to most Zach has had a hard time finding his own place outside Backlight's shadow. Having fled the island village of Cloud Bay to make a name for himself Zach leaves behind friends and family is his wake that only want the best for him and be a part of his life while Zach has been selfish and only cared for himself. When the tables are turned and he is the one left standing after the gig is up, Zach heads home to focus on a solo career and recording in the safety of his family's secluded compound.

Leah has always had a thing for Zach and gave in to temptation knowing he was headed out and probably never to return. She didn't care; just wanted to have her heart's desire for one night. Having remarried and found it lacking, Leah is recently divorced and a nervous wreck when Zach heads home.

Hoping to have Zach take a chance on her musical talents, Leah asks to produce Zach's album. Can we say that Zach was anything but a jerk in his response. The tension begins and things really get interesting. I loved the strength of Leah to take charge and ask what she wants. Zach I wanted to smash in the face but when he comes around he is so sweet and such a charmer.

Working together brings these two close and Leah is having a hard time battling desires she realizes have never went away. When she and Zach make an arrangemnent for a temporary relationship while he is on the island Leah does everything possible to hold back and only let it be physical while Zach's eyes are opened to what Leah really means to him.

From Leah battling back her emotions to Zach trying to get her to see him as something more than temporary I quickly fell in love with these two. But when circumstances change and Zach is given an opportunity for the bigger and better or to keep going with what feels right and what's working his choices affect many and cause great pain. Can Leah and Zach make it through such pain or is Zach destined to live a life away from the island and family.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for the latest Cloud Bay romance. This book does not disappoint a Cloud Bay fan. Even if you have not read the previous books in the series, you should enjoy this tale of romance. Having read the previous books, it was good to catch up with ‘old friends’. A good read which I would recommend to anyone who enjoys light romantic fiction.

Yesssssss!! I have been looking forward to Zach Harper’s book since I started this series!!! In No Place Like You we get Zach and Leah’s story and let me say it’s chock full of angst, sweetness, steam and a second chance romance that will make you swoon!!! I love what was in store for Leah and Zach, but I also loved catching up with the entire Cloud Bay crew. My favorite part about a small town romance series is always the familiarity of the town and characters and Emma Douglas does a fabulous job with both! I enjoyed this novel the entire way through and I am keeping my fingers crossed Emma Douglas keeps this awesome series going for a long time (seriously, Emma if you’re reading this...PLEASE)!!! If you haven’t started the Cloud Bay series, there is no time like the present! You can read each novel as a standalone, but I highly, highly suggest you start from the beginning!!

I love this series of books! I really enjoyed the two main characters and watching their relationship unfold. Please note each of the books in this series also works as a great story by themselves too. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series! If you are looking for a series of books to read, then definitely check these ones out.

Back in Cloud Bay and Zach is home.
I love this series, its characters and its setting.
The lively way the author portrays this family dynamic is both entertaining and captivating.
You're instantly drawn into the story and it is as if you've never left Cloud Bay.
Once you reach the end of the tale, you are yearning for more.
I cannot wait to read the next instalment.

Leah works as a sound engineer but really wants to produce music. She has been around it all her life and loves it. Zach is the son of a rocker and half owns the company Leah works for. He comes back after his group breaks up and starts working on his own album. He needs a great producer and when Leah asks for the job, he turns her down. When the producer he picks doesn’t give him what he wants, he turns to Leah.
Leah and Zach had a one night stand on her eighteenth birthday and then he left. She knows he’s not sticking around so she proposes they have sex until he leaves. But when he gets a chance to work with his ideal producer, he takes off and leaves Leah broken hearted. Zach realizes the mistake he has made and goes back home. Will he win back his girl and get his career off the ground?
Good story. Leaves you with a little cliffhanger. Good characters. The sex is not very descriptive. One or two was but the rest wasn’t.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for netgalley *

This was a sweet read with some serious swooniness. Leah and Zach have just the right amount of chemistry and her say-it-like-it-is attitude was hilarious. They are both great at their jobs, but awkward with each other -the perfect combo.
