She's Like The Wind: A Small Town Single Dad Romance (Angel Sands Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Carrie Elks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,671 ratings

‘If you like to be swept away into a breathtakingly sweet romance, She’s Like the Wind is the book for you. You will not be disappointed.’
‘A slow burn that explodes and is so satisfying to read!’

* * * * *

Successful businessman and single dad, Nate Crawford, doesn’t need any more complications. That’s why he’s moved his business – and his life – to a small beach town. He’s expecting sun, sea and tranquility, but what he gets is a whirlwind in the form of his newest employee, Ally Sutton.

Ally’s used to dealing with heartache. But losing the café she’s owned for years is the final straw. Being offered a new job feels like a lifeline – until she meets the much-older, and impossibly handsome Nate. From the moment their eyes meet over the rim of a steaming coffee cup, she's toast.

When an accident forces them closer, Nate and Ally can’t ignore the desire between them any longer. But neither of them are ready for the storm they’re about to unleash.

**She’s Like the Wind is the second book in the Angel Sands series, set in a small beach town on the California coast. If you like a heartwarming read that’s low on angst and big on feels, this stand-alone romance is for you.**

    I absolutely loved Let Me Burn, Ember and Lucas's story, which is where we meet Ally - BUT She's Like the Wind just took my breath away!!! This book was so much more!!
    I wanted to be Ally's BFF when I first met her because she seemed so real, funny, genuine, and loyal. She spoke her mind and was always there for her friends. What this book made me realize is how strong a woman she really is. As her father put it, life has kept knocking her down but she keeps getting up and moving on. What stood out the most for me is that even though people kept hurting her, she still had such a huge, caring heart!
    Nate was a bit complicated to me, but he didn't have to be. I felt like he was the reason his life seemed complicated! He seemed to be the one standing in his own way, in his personal life! Professionally, he was amazing!! Successful and his business continuing to grow at record numbers. But personally things didn't look very good. Lucky for him, Angel Sands got a hold of him!!
    Loved Riley so much!! She was a teenager who was hurting, longing for love and acceptance, and not knowing how to express herself because she was a teenager. I think the relationship between Riley and Nate was due to Nate's guilt.
    I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!! Can't wait for the next one, which I'm hoping is about Brooke!!

    Oh wow Ally and Nate's story was an emotional but fun book. Nate is struggling with a grieving, rebeling teenager. When he purchases a diner in the coastal California town of Angel Sands. He decides to move him and his daughter to oversee the renovations and hopefully get a new starty or both of them. Ally's been fighting to keep the diner going but is shocked when her father sells it to Nate. Nate and Ally's attraction is strong but they have many reasons that giving in would be bad. Can't wait to start book three.

    Ally and Nate are so cute! Ally had a rough few years and finding out her dad sold the Cafe was the end of it. For Nate it was instant attraction and he had to figure out how to balance being a father and being himself.

    It was my first read by this author and I definitely want to read the other ones in this series! This one was a light, fun and sweet single dad book that will leave you swooning in the end and want to have a Nate of your own!
    Ally is doing whatever it takes to make sure her café is staying above ground but when she finds out it's getting sold by her father, it leaves her devastated. After everything she's been through, it's hard to say goodbye to the one place that has always kept her grounded. When new owner Nate comes into town, he wants her to stay on and keep working in the newly renovated café but when an unfortunate event happens, she's forced to take a step back and ends up staying at her boss' home while she recuperates. The more time they spend together, the more they can't seem to deny the attraction they have for one another. But with Nate being a single dad and also being Ally's boss, it puts both in a difficult situation. Will they give in to their feelings?...

    Ally and Nate’s story is wonderful one about redemption and mending bonds between father’s and their children.
    There’s a fair amount of heartache and angst but more than anything there’s love.
    I especially liked the relationship between Ally and Nate’s daughter Riley.
    If you love small town romances that give you all the feels then this is one book you don’t want to miss.
    I can’t wait for the next book.

    I’m really enjoying the Angel Sands books, I’ve ready them out of order but still amazing.
    Dual POV and small town romance for the win. I love that their was no OWD and everyone got a HEA. Would love a bonus epilogue of Ally and Nate down the track.

    Sweet and angsty, but somehow not enough of either.

    Giving this only 5 * seems mingey - it needed at least 10!!!!!! If you love a beautifully crafted love story look no further - this is right up there in anyones top ten. Gorgeous characters with just the right amount of fragility we can all sympathise with makes this a brilliant read. Totally romantic, absorbing and difficult to put down this grabs you from the first page to the last. ELECTRIFYING STUFF and I LOVED IT. 💕💋💘❤💞
