I knew after reading Laila and whatever his name was story and hating it that I should of left any Sherryl Woods books alone. To be honest I didn't even finish this book. I find her main female characters immature and childish when they like someone. In what world do two people who like each other and are available and single play every game to stay away from one another? I find it ridiculous that you never know what the characters look like. That's usually how I attach to a book is by setting u...more

She has struggled with ADD her whole life and fears she will always be viewed as young, irresponsible Jess that no one can trust. Now 30, Jess runs a successful Inn and is eager to find a partner and have a family of her own, but emotionally she isn’t quite ready.

Will Lincoln has loved Jess since he was a teen, but as a psychologist he has an uncanny way of making her feel completely vulnerable and self-conscious whenever she is in his presence, despite them being long-time friends. Jess is in denial about the depths of his feelings for her, but it isn’t until Jess signs up for a local dating service with some friends run by Will that she realises she may have some feelings for him too.

The beginning of Moonlight Cove had me hooked, Jess is a flawed but likeable character who obviously has feelings for Will but is too stubborn to admit it. Her two best friends Laila and Connie convince her to start dating but Jess’s heart isn’t really into it. The early scenes are from Jess’s POV talking about Will and then Will’s POV talking about Jess. Their first scene together in the pub where he takes a big risk and walks up and kisses her passionately and leaving her speechless, marks the story with a bang.

But unfortunately, for me the story didn’t quite stay at that level. Perhaps because this is number 6 in the series and there are a LOT of characters to keep up with whom presumably have been in previous stories, it tends to go off track a bit with various romantic sub-plots. I found it difficult to have a vested interest in these other relationships because I really just wanted to identify with Jess and Will and follow their story.

The plot itself is quite slow and nothing much really happens outside of the character conflicts. Much of the story is about Jess’s insecurities and fears of committing to a relationship with Will, while Will has the most admirable patience in waiting for Jess to be ready. I think the ADD was mentioned a bit too much and I didn’t really see it impacting on Jess’s life too much except for her being distractible at times and sometimes forgetting things. Her resistance to getting involved with Will really had nothing to do with her ADD and everything to do with her early abandonment issues that she struggled to overcome. She’s emotionally immature and I think in many ways Will was quite therapeutic for her as a solid, reliable and secure person in her life and being a psychologist gave him the insight into her personality that some other men may not have persisted with.

Despite some of the drawbacks with the story, I did enjoy seeing Jess open up to love and learn to trust Will which in many ways was quite realistic given her early experiences and losses. Will is almost too perfect but a very likeable character.

Overall, Moonlight Cove is an easy, quick and light-hearted read about families, relationships and overcoming fears to find love and happiness. Romance fans will probably enjoy this undemanding read.

Now she’s ready to share the future with a man. Her friends persuade her to join a dating service — but she gets no takers! Which is fine with her childhood friend, psychologist Will Lincoln, who’s already chosen the perfect man for Jess: himself. Will has loved Jess practically forever. He knows her faults and her strengths. But for all Will’s sincerity and charm, Jess fears he views her as some psychological case study. With her family and the town of Chesapeake Shores behind him, Will finally makes his case. But is it enough to convince Jess to take the risk of a lifetime?

I’ve never read a Sherryl Woods story before but the blurb on netgalley sounded sweet and in a way reminded me of Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series so I just had to give it a try.

I didn’t realise Moonlight Cove was the sixth book in the series, but I didn’t feel that I was left out as the reader from the previous books. Plenty is explained in the book about other characters and their relationships with each other which helped build the story and keep the reader involved in what has happened in the series so far, yet it didn’t feel like you were been given the drastically short version nor did it feel like I had to read the other books in the series before I could know who everyone was and how they all connected. I really wanted to love Moonlight Cove, as I stated above it reminded me in a way of Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series which I really adore and I think that in some ways I crippled myself with reading Moonlight Cove and comparing it to the Virgin River series, because of course they will never really be the same as they’re written by two completely different authors.
Quite easily I can say I loved Will! I thought he was a great character and such a sweetie. Trying to set up an online dating service and match people up and himself because he knew Jess’s feelings were different from his own. My main problem was with Jess, I liked her, I enjoyed seeing how she handled having ADD as it’s not something that’s normally written into a storyline. I really loved the way she worked so hard to make her Inn work and make sure it succeeded. Yet, I had two main problems, the first and the main one was that Jess annoyed me with her interest in Will. She has no interest in him because she assumes he’s only interested in her because of her ADD and in a way uses that to keep him at a distance but when he goes on a date with her friend she’s quite put out of joint by it and it continues from there, the backwards forwards relationship between herself and Will all on her behalf, just got so frustrating at times.
My second problem was that through most of the story I really did enjoy the way Jess coped and lived with her ADD, except on a few instances it felt it was added as an extra issue that didn’t really need to be there. But in some ways it did move the story along in a different direction that made me enjoy it more.

Overall, I did like Moonlight Cove but I can’t see myself reading another book in the series, but I would happily try something else by Sherryl Woods as I enjoyed her writing.(less)

How could they ever have a romantic relationship when she “knows” Will would be analyzing her not as a romantic interest but as a client?

Jess has overcome much in learning to manage her ADD and in making a success of the Inn at Eagle Point, even when it nearly fell into bankruptcy, but as an ADD child in a family of over-achievers, and still suffering from the abandonment of her mother who left when Jess was a child (even though she has returned and remarried Jess’ father), she doubts she can make a success of any relationship with a man.

However, when two close friends decide to try a new local online dating service, she somewhat reluctantly joins them. When no dates are forthcoming, she becomes discouraged, not knowing that Will, the man behind the dating service, wants Jess for himself. A kiss from Will changes Jess’ thinking, and she realizes she just might be interested in her family friend. Interest turns to jealousy when Will, in an effort to rid himself of his desire for Jess, tries his service to find a replacement.

While I enjoyed the nosy O’Brien family and thought Will a wonderful hero, even liked the other romantic side stories, particularly Connie’s relationship with Jess’ Uncle Thomas, I became annoyed with all the protagonists’ indecisiveness when it came to committing. In particular, Jess’ continual turning away from allowing herself to get closer to Will, and her constant tossing up of the ADD roadblock began to make this story seem like Groundhog Day. I wanted to shake her by the shoulders and say “Just get on with it.” Sometimes, Will’s indecisiveness made me want to shake him as well.

All things considered, Ms. Woods redeems herself by the end of this book and delivers a beautifully written story that will most certainly appeal to readers of the Chesapeake Shores series. Despite a slow start and indecisive protagonists, the ending will charm even the most jaded reader.originally posted at http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.c...(less)

Moonlight Cove is book six of Chesapeake Shores Series, and my first book by Sherryl Woods. Even though it belongs to a series it can be read as a stand-alone.

Jess O’Brien suffers from ADD and blames her errors and mishaps to this. She also doesn’t believe somebody can love her the way she is. Two of her best friends Laila Riley and Connie Collings convinced her to join a new online dating service in their area. She accepts reluctantly, she does it almost because her friends force her. But when days pass and her two friends received invitations from men they have been match by the company and Jess doesn’t received anything, she feels even more as a failure. It’s not that she wants the dating service to work, the problem is she feels she is not good enough for anybody.
Will Lincoln is the only psychologist in the town of Chesapeake. Will also designed a program to match different personalities to find the most suitable partner for a person accordingly to the characteristics this two persons have in common. He is also the owner of Lunch by the Bay, the new dating company Jess and her friends are using.
Will has been in love with Jess since they were very young, but Jess has never seen him as anything different than her Brother’s friend.
When Will received Jess application for Lunch by the Bay he doesn’t know what to do with it. He loves Jess and wants her for himself and doesn’t want to match her with anybody else. But his professionalism makes him include her information in the database, with the great fortune that the program doesn’t match her with anybody else. Lunch by the Bay is just starting and it doesn’t have many members.
Seeing that Jess is ready to find somebody, gives Will the push he needed to start to court her, before she finds somebody else. Will approaches Jess and lets her know of his feeling and intentions towards her; but Jess it’s not sure, she thinks Will just sees her as a study case because of her disorder. For them to be together Jess needs to leave behind many of her preconceptions and Will’s love needs to be strong enough to overcome obstacles.

In Moonlight Cove we see other couples developing a relationship. One of those is with Jess friend’s Connie Collins. She has always been attracted to Jess uncle Thomas O’brien and in this book we see them getting together. I liked this relationship a lot, sadly, maybe more than Jess and Will’s. Connie and Thomas are mature adults, with divorces behind them, who finally after many years find their perfect mate. I liked the message of a second chance this couple gives us.

Jess is a young woman who has battled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) her whole life. She was diagnosed at a late age, and this has made her a little bit insecure. She doesn’t know her own value and sometimes she underestimated her own capabilities and possibilities. Because of her parents’ separation when she was just a child, she also has some abandonment issues she needs to deal with before she can be happy.

Will is a very patience man. He knows what he wants and it’s willing to go the extra mile to obtain it. He loves Jess deeply and just wants what is best for her. I think he is perfect for Jess, because he understands her behavior and doesn’t let her use her ADD as an excuse.

In this book Mrs. Wood also shows us some glimpses of another interesting couple, Susie and Mack. They will be protagonists of Mrs. Wood’s next book, Beach Lane, available May 31, 2011.

Moonlight Cove was a nice read, with some fun characters. The problem I encounter with this book was its pace. The first two thirds of the book are very slow, Jess and Will go back and forth, and nothing is happening for too long. This got to the point that I was mentally screaming at them, “enough! Or get together or separate, but no more go around, please!” I just wanted something to happen between them for the book to end.
In my opinion, I think Connie and Thomas relationship saved this book. If it weren’t for them, this waiting for something to happen would have been worst.(less)

I think that I would have liked this one better had Jess not put herself down so much. I did think that Will balanced her in a good way. It was interesting how Will said he fell for her when he was a teen and been waiting for her the whole time. I wish that we would have gotten more from that time period.

I really liked the secondary romance of Thomas and Connie. It was funny how they acted and even funnier how everyone else acted when they learned of their hookup.

Its always interesting to read about the O'Brien family in Chesapeake Shores but this was a very flimsy story. Psychologist Will patiently pursues his life long love, Jess O'Brien who suffers from ADD. Jess moves forward then pulls back and this is repeatedly many times in the story to the point of being dull. More focus could have been directed at the parallel love story of the older couple Thomas O'Brien and Bree's sister-in-law Connie Collins.

The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.

Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.

A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.

Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.

In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.

When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.
