This book allows a glimpse
into the lives of Madison McKinley and Beckett O’Reilly. The two have known each other since their
school days. Beckett had a reputation
for being the bad boy and Madison was a picture of perfection. While Beckett came from a broken home, Madison
seemed liked she had it all. Although
behind every picture of perfection there is often hidden pain. Madison tragically lost her twin brother and
while everyone else seems to have gone on with their lives she cannot seem to
get past the pain. She desperately wants
the nightmares to stop and she believes that by fulfilling her brother’s dream
of winning the town’s regatta that she can finally move on. When Madison wins boating lessons at an
auction she is both scared and excited to embark on this adventure of competing
in the regatta. However, plans change
when her instructor is unable to fulfill his commitment and she is forced to
learn from Beckett O’Reilly. Beckett
will do anything to help Madison win this race as he has kept his feelings for
her buried as he believed someone like her could never be interested in
him. As the boating lessons begin the
chemistry between them is undeniable. Will
a secret that Beckett has kept for years tear them apart?
Denise Hunter has written a
beautiful love story with all the emotions and flaws of real life. Two hurting people fall in love and have to
figure out their way through the twists and turns in life. I really enjoyed this story and found the
characters to be very relatable. I look
forward to reading the second book in the series called Dancing with Fireflies coming in April 2014.
