Windswept Bay #3

by Debra Clopton

Un bacio è solo un bacio… o così dicono. Ma io non sono d’ questo bacio può cambiare una vita. Ha cambiato la mia.

Siete ufficialmente invitati al matrimonio di Shar Sinclair con l’uomo dei suoi sogni, Gage Lancaster… sempre che lo sposo si presenti alla cerimonia.

Che fine ha fatto Gage?

Manca solo un’ora all’inizio della cerimonia e nessuno ha notizie di Gage, che non risponde nemmeno al telefono. Shar è pronta ad andare in cerca del suo uomo, perché è evidente che qualcosa non va.

Dopo aver ricevuto il messaggio che stava aspettando da un investigatore privato, Gage non può fare a meno di compiere una deviazione importantissima mentre si dirige al suo matrimonio. Ma la situazione sfugge presto al suo controllo e tutto, nella giornata delle nozze, sta per cambiare…

Non perdetevi questo racconto della serie “Windswept Bay”! La storia si collega con quella del secondo volume, Da qualche parte con te, e funge da preludio per Ora e per sempre, il terzo volume!

With This Kiss ( Windswept Bay 2.5 )
By: Debra Clopton

With this Kiss is a short story that connects Somewhere With You to the next book in Windswept Bay. I cannot wait for , Forever and For Always. This book is about Shar Sinclair and Gage Lancaster’s wedding . As of the last book Shar and Gage were engaged to be married. This is of their wedding if Gage can make it on time. Star its worried about Gage it is not like him to be late. What could make him late for his wedding? Where is he? Gage has some problems and he is worried about Shar and making it on time for their wedding. I absolutely loved this short story about their wedding, it was very needed. When you start this story have time to read it all all , because you will not want to put it down.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

With This Kiss may be a shorter story than the other books in the series, but it is packed with romance, danger, confusion, and eye opening revelations. Gage and Shar from book two are supposed to be getting married as the book opens, however, the story takes quite the turn from there! I definitely recommend reading book two, Somewhere With You, first. Then you will be ready to see what happens next in With This Kiss. I love the way the author is bridging these events from book to book and setting up the reader with new characters and situations to care about. I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Un epilogo che mancava al volume precedente e una sorta di prequel per il volume successivo. Carino. :)

Good book but disappointed

I started reading Debra Clopton's books and was happy that they appeared to be well written.
My biggest disappointment to date is that I read book #3 which was a continuation of #2. It had 80 something pages in it. I purchased this on Kindle for $2.99 and if you would buy the hard back, it would be around $9.00.
I think that it should have been added to book #2 and then #3 would be about the next sister.
With this being said, I have chosen to take her books off of my favorite lists
Next time, perhaps you should charge more for #2 and add it to that book.

"Poi sentì le labbra di Shar premere contro le sue.
Labbra calde, dolci, coprirono quelle di Gage e gli fecero girare la testa per l’amore e la nostalgia di Shar. Poi aprì gli occhi: il bacio gli aveva mostrato la strada di casa.
“Voglio svegliarmi con queste labbra tutte le mattine,”"

Questa breve novella per me ha un poco riscattato la coppia Gage&Shar che non mi aveva convinta affatto nel loro libro...c'è più passione e azione (parecchia azione XD) in questa manciata di pagine che in tutta la loro storia XD Mi è piaciuto il fatto che questa novella non si limiti a mostrarci un matrimonio e un happy ending (anche se non mancano ovviamente) ma funga da vero e proprio ponte verso il prossimo volume della serie, mostrando lo scandalo di Olivia e la scoperta di Brandon...collegamenti indispensabili ;D

I purchased a copy of With This Kiss (Windswept Bay Book 3) by Debra Clopton and this review was given freely in 2017.
With This Kiss by Debra Clopton is a suspenseful short excerpt that brings you the dramatic conclusion to book 2. Gage's brother Brandon aka BJ is found and, after much drama and near dying, Gage marries Shar.

Disappointed

This story (and the one before it was great, but as I got to the end I realized I paid for a continuation of the second book in the series. It wasn't even a full book. Done with this series.

[Lesley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This fast-paced novella was a compelling 60-minute read. Though it’s a companion to another book, it stands confidently on its own. Shar and Gage’s love story intrigued me enough to want to explore its origins, but prior knowledge wasn’t essential to enjoy this tale.

[PollyAnna Joy · Rating 4 out of 5]

So sweet

I'm loving the stories of the Sinclair family and the continued story of Shar & Gage is so very sweet.

Book #3

This book was a short story involving the wedding of Gage and Shar. It had a few twists and turns on the way to the alter

[Karen Fetman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!!

Very romantic. The characters were real and had heart. Loved the differences between the sisters and looking forward to the next book.

[Penny Leidecker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the story about Shar’s and Gage’s wedding, but Gage is a no-show. Why is that? Grab your copy and see what happens. I loved this sweet, emotional read

[Connie Alderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

With This Kiss

This book sounds like it'll be great, but there's a lot thrown at me for just a few pages. Wow! Guess I need to grab the next book in this series!!

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short story that is part of the Windswept Bay series, after Somewhere with You and before Forever and For Always. It is less than an hour until Shar's wedding to Gage, and he is nowhere to be seen! He would not have missed this wedding for anything. He's received a life-changing message, and has to stop to confirm the information. This book immediately drew me in and it moved quickly. It was a fun story. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

With This Kiss is a novella by Debra Clopton. It is a bridge between Somewhere With You and Forever and Always. It may be short but it packs a punch.
Shar Sinclair is ready to get married. Her family, with the exception of her other triplet Olivia, is all here and everything is ready. The only problem is the groom is missing. Shar feels something is wrong; but she doesn’t know what. Her brother Levi is called away as shots are fired at the marina near the store that was just robbed is located. Levi is hoping it has nothing to do with Gage.
Gage Lancaster was on his way to the resort to marry Shar when he received a text from the private investigator he had working for him. The PI was trying to locate his long-lost brother that he just heart about when his Father’s will was read. His Father had tried to find the boy after his mother took him away; but had no luck. Now this lead led to the marina which was on the way to the resort. It would take only a minute to find the boat and ask the owner a few questions.
What happens on the boat? What was the shot about? Was it Gage? Was the man he was going to talk to his brother? Would Gage find him only to lose him?

With This Kiss by Debra Clopton
Windswept Bay Series Book Three
Shar Sinclair is anxiously awaiting her groom. As in, she is in her dress, the wedding is one hour, and her groom has not yet arrived. Definite cause for being anxious.

Gage Lancaster was only going to make a quick stop on the way to the wedding. There was a lead on his missing half-brother and he just had to see if it panned out. After all, it was on the way to the resort and would just take a few minutes.

This wedding day was not turning out as anyone expected. Not for the bride and groom and not for others involved either. This is a short story that is connected to book two; Somewhere With You and a prelude to book four; Forever And For Always. I'm loving this series and looking forward to the rest of the series. There are nine Sinclair siblings and I hope they all get a story.

Note: I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review.

This story picks up 3 months after Somewhere With You ended. The scene is Shar and Gage's wedding day and the groom is MIA. Nobody seems to know where he is and it's everything they can do to keep Shar from taking off in search of him.

Gage knows he's running late, but he just got a text from his investigator with a new lead. Could it be? Might he have just found his brother? He has to try to find out. But just when he thinks he has the answer, things go terribly wrong. What will Shar think and do?

This story begins with a fast pace and doesn't let up until the end. It's not very long, only 8 chapters, so your questions are answered quickly and I love the setup for the next book.

Finally, even though the length is short, it doesn't prevent the author from bringing out the theme of family.

My rating - 5 stars

[Yvonne Cruz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 3 of the Windswept Bay series. In order to appreciate the story, I suggest you read book 2, Somewhere with You. Book 2 tells us the love story of Gage and Shar . Now about to marry. the unexpected happens that could lead to tragedy.
Without giving the plot away, suffice is to say, that as short as it is, it is filled with mystery, life threatening circumstances, new found relatives with possibilities of many wonderful stories to come. So join me at Windswept Bay , as we follow this great cast of characters.

The wedding of Shar and Gage was a big event and today was the day. Only as the time ticked closer, the groom was nowhere to be found. The bride was getting antsy and was about to rip her wedding dress off and go look for him. Gage had just got conformation on where his long lost brother might be and the location was on the way to the wedding. But word had just gotten out that there were gun shots heard at the local marina. Was that where Gage was?
This is an exciting short story full of mystery and forever love. Anxiously awaiting the next installment of the very large Sinclair family of Windswept Bay.
I received an ebook copy of this story for my honest review, which I have given.

[Rachel Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

"With this Kiss" is a short story-about 86 pages-and follows the story of Shar and Gage before their wedding. These characters are from book 2 (Somewhere with You). I loved this short story! Although its short it still has a good story line, good pace and lots of action and drama!

The Windswept Bay books follow the stories of the 9 Sinclair siblings. I have really enjoyed all of these books in this series so far!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.

I'm new to Debra Clopton. This is the 3rd book in the Windswept Bay series and I was immediately lost in the book. Shar Sinclair and Gage Lancaster are getting married today or are they? Where's the groom?
Shar knows something is wrong, she can feel it. Then she's told gun shots were heard at the marina. Was Gage ok?

You'll have to read this book to find out. No spoilers here.
You won't be sorry. Fast paced great story.

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a perfect follow up novella to Somewhere With You. It picks up at what should be the wedding for Shar and Gage. But something happens along the way that introduces us to the next characters in the 3 novel of the Windswept Bay series. But don't worry you still get the wedding, along with more excitement and action. *I was given a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

[Kimberley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shar was so happy it was her wedding day. But Gage had not shown up at the church. Shar felt something was wrong but what ?
Gage had gotten some important information and felt he needed to stop at the boat docks and get some answers. Little did he know he would not be at the church on time a wonderful suspense romantic love story

[Amy Tyner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This kiss was definitely an awesome kiss! What excitement and adventure packed into such a short story! Shar and Gage romance has been a wonderful whirlwind so why should the biggest day of their life be anything different?
Mrs. Clopton you never cease to amaze and tickle your readers! Keep up the good work and can't wait for Olivia and BJ's story!

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great Windswept Bay book. It's way too short - I know it was a novella but I just wanted the story to continue. This is the story of Shar's and Gabe's weeding. This book had twists and turns along with a lot of love and laughter. I can't wait for the next book in the series to see what will be happening next. I received an ARC for an honest review of this book.

[Carol Stalnaker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shar is impatiently waiting when Gage fails to appear at their wedding.  Gage doesn't give up as he finds his brother that he never knew before.  Once Gage is found, Shar shows her fighting spirit and strength of her love for him. This novella was suspenseful and a great bridge between books in the series.

[Rhonda Ziglar · Rating 5 out of 5]

With This Kiss by Debra Clopton...Wow, this book is so exciting and starts with a bang. This story is full of mystery, romance, love and lots of guessing. I enjoyed watching the stories unfold for Shar and Gage. Debra Clopton know how to keep us readers engaged in the story. This is a must read series. I was given a complimentary book for an honest review.

[Barbara]

I’ve read other Windswept Bay stories and like the others this one was very good. It may be a short book but it’s exciting and keeps your attention. It starts off with Shar at her wedding but where is the groom, Gage? The book follows what happens when the groom doesn’t make it to the wedding. It’s full of mystery, murder, and surprises. I highly recommend this book and others in the series.

[Robin Dix · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. A short novella from the Windswept Bay series. I have to say that I really enjoyed to book but wish it would have been longer. I wouldn't have missed reading it for anything though. Love the dynamic between Shar and Gage. Can't wait for the next book in the series Forever and For Always.

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes! I was so hoping we would not have to wait for the next full book to see of Shar and Gage would get married. This is a perfect novella to wrap up their story and introduce us to the next main characters in this series. Loved it. *I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
