Jordan ditched her fiance on the eve of their wedding after she found him cheating on her. She is staying in her rental house with her new dog, hoping for a quiet life.
Nick is next door, staying with his grandparents while he recovers from being injured while a navy doctor.
During a bad storm, Nick ends up taking care of Jordan and they start to form a friendship. Both have issues in their past they need to address before they can think of moving forwards together.
A short but enjoyable read.

This was an extremely touching romance about two very guarded people who come together rather quickly and then have to adapt to the speed of their relationship. Jordan is recovering from a bad romance, but is taking care of herself while working as an elementary school teacher. She lives next door to Nick’s grandparents and he’s living there recovering from being shot in Afghanistan. He’s a doctor but hasn’t yet transitioned to being a civilian pediatrician now that his military career is over. When a bad storm hits their small community on Long Island, he goes over to help Jordan and realizes that she has a bad case of pneumonia. He stays to care for her and falls in love. Through a misunderstanding when he visits her father who is dying in a hospice, everyone thinks that they’re engaged and they let the deceit stick because it makes her father so happy. And despite their reservations, it makes them very happy also.

They have to overcome the walls that each has built around their own hearts, but they’re both good people and that, ultimately, is going to be enough. It’s nice to read a book where just everyone is a decent, kind person who cares for each other.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

This is an incredible romance novel that covers heartache, healing, and relationship issues. This book was truly believable and so real it keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more information. Jordan Velsor is an incredibly strong woman who's experienced a great deal of heartache in her life. Nick Rinaldi is a hardworking, kindhearted, soldier/doctor who served in the military, and suffers PTSD because of his service. This is a book that draw you in and make you want to learn more about Compass Cove and all it's residents.

I loved this ‘slow burn’ love story about Nick and Jordan. Absolutely loved it! Both characters were very loveable and very vivid in my mind.
Jordan has recently gotten un-engaged to a dirt bag and Nick is a recently wounded Veteran from the military. During a horrible storm where a tree slams down into Jordan’s car (she lives in a cottage on Nick’s grandparents property), Nick goes to see if she is okay and notices she isn’t feeling well. Nick is a doctor and diagnoses her sickness as pneumonia. Because of this, he decides to take care of her. And when I say he takes care of her… HE TAKES CARE OF HER. Fast forward a few chapters and after Nick visits Jordan’s sick father, (long story short) they are now fake engaged! WOW!!! Talk about a good twist! Read this one, you won’t regret it!
This is my first book by this author. I fully intend on going back to read all previous books written by Ms. Moon.

Warm, deeply touching, real and intense. The depiction of family life in the many forms that takes was so realistic and touching that I cried and laughed at it simultaneously.
Compass Cove is both real and magical.
Jordan and Nick were combustible together. I recommend this book.
