Do not be doubted by the length of this book. Gypsy Beach by Jillian Neal is an outstanding, fun read that held so many emotions for me! I read this book in intervals between work, blogging, dealing with life in general, and it was always on my mind. I couldn't not think about this book! There was so much emotion wrapped up in the pages that you could feel the characters anguish, happiness, and sadness throughout it. Jillian Neal did a wonderful job on this novel, and I look forward to her novels that follow this one. Now, on to my review!

We meet a young Ryan, and Sienna in the pages of the prologue. Carefree, young, and having the world at their feet, Ryan, and Sienna are inseparable. From a young age, the two have been spotted playing along the Atlantic waves, racing through the sandy beaches, and living their life through the gypsy ways. When Ryan's parents rip him away from their summer vacationing spot, Sienna looses all hope that she will never see him again. Running from Gypsy Beach, she caravans across the country in true Gypsy style, and eventually lands back at Gypsy Beach. Sadly, her life is not what it was once along the shoes of the Atlantic, and we watch Sienna try to build her life back to what it was.

Ryan, by some off hand chance – Gypsy magic, perhaps? - also finds his way back to Gypsy Beach. After bailing his parents out of some financial issues that they encountered he feels no remorse over leaving them behind in Atlanta and traveling back to the shores of Gypsy Beach. There he lingers in the mansion that was once the threshold of his family, and debates if this was the move he needed to make. When he comes to the conclusion that its time to face the music over not doing so, he ventures out into the tourist town of Gypsy Beach where friends of longtime past welcome him back with open arms. Ryan has a much more complicated past than just his estranged parents; a daughter, no longer appreciated by her mother, follows Ryan back to Gypsy Beach after Alexa (the ex-wife) jets off to Paris with a new lover.

Again, this book was constantly on my mind. Doing dishes? I wonder what Sienna and Ryan are doing?! What happens next?! Ryan, and Sienna go through many trials, and tribulations together. There is a reason that they both end back up at Gypsy Beach at the same time. Fate, the Gypsies magic, SOMETHING has brought them back together, and this dynamic duo are bound and determined to make it work for them. I absolutely loved the chemistry that provided Ryan, and Sienna with their unconventional romance, and it aws just outstanding. There was little to no grammar mistakes, or spelling errors. Jillian Neal did a wonderful job bringing some Gypsy magic to the pages of this book.

I am certainly looking forward to the books following this book in the series. Thank you, Jillian, for a wonderful, heartfelt story!
