She’s a middle-aged rule follower. But there aren’t any rules for a dead husband with secrets or a second chance at true love.

Kelly Richards is forced to return to the tiny town of Promise Cove, Montana to handle an unexpected inheritance. She’s determined to sell the place quickly and go back to the life she knows. But a chance encounter with a first love makes her question everything she believes is true.

After a grueling career in the New York City police force, Ryan Svoboda came home to Promise Cove. Kelly’s unexpected return upsets his carefully constructed life. Can he tell her how he feel—how he’s always felt—before it’s too late?

Can Kelly break out of her rut to find real happiness? Will Ryan let her slip away from his life again? Or will they find the courage to reach for a second chance at love?

Return to Promise Cove is the first in a later-in-life contemporary romance series set in a small town of artists on a northwestern Montana lake. Curl up in your favorite beach or armchair and enjoy this feel-good romance.

This is a sweet love story that is easy to read. There is a little conflict but that keeps it interesting. Characters are well developed and the setting is beautiful. Great story to capture your attention for a few hours while escaping work, chores and real life!

Easy to follow stand-alone. Minor editing and formatting errors, no gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Great start to a series. Several different questions are asked about living ones best possible life. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene both physically and emotionally. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking, memorable and realistic dialogue.

‘This was going to take a lot longer than she anticipated. It wasn’t the physical but the emotional lifting that was going to be a problem.’

‘The emotional bombshell boxes could be done slowly—one at a time.’

‘She told me once that it was the act of beginning that required great courage, and that performing the actions of your craft, even if you hated the result, was the way to get everything in concert to achieve magnificence.”

‘Too many lives, especially women’s, were derailed by the twin pressures of expectation and obligation.’

No desire to re-read this story. I am definitely interested in other works by this author and in this series.

Kelly's life changes with the death of her husband, her kids grown up & away and her grandmother's requirement for her inheritance to spend time back in Promise Cove with her teenage love.

Well written. A lot of great secondary characters. The main male was great. The main female was annoying. I just couldn’t sympathize with her “growing pains”. One thing nice was that there was no overdone focus on how beautiful everyone was or how long legs were, etc. HEA.

I was captivated by Kelly’s journey to figure out the next step in her life. She has been a mother and wife for years but now she is a widow and an empty nester. She believes she needs to keep the home in California for the kids to return to but life throws her a curve ball. Her grandmother, who she loved dearly, left her the retreat she owned in Promise Cove. For Kelly, she just wants to sell but she can’t unless she spends time on the property first. Returning to a place that filled her childhood with such joy and promise becomes a new awakening for Kelly. Meeting her old friend Ryan that she had a crush on also opens her up to ways she never expected. For Ryan, he always hoped Kelly would return to Promise Cove, so having her back gives him hope. Now, can he and the community remind her of what she found as a child to convince her to stay. This story has me wanting to visit the retreat in Promise Cove. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This book has perhaps the best assortment of secondary characters that I have encountered in many, many books. I won’t rehash the plot because you already know all about it if you’re this far in.

Ryan was a doll from the word go, he was sensitive, caring, strong and of course romantic. Our heroine Kelly was who I never warmed up to and I really tried to. She seemed to like maybe 4 people, and she wasn’t one of the 4. To me she is a cross between a Stepford wife and a bitter woman even before her husband was killed. For being over 40 she vacillated more about everything, except being the perfect hostess, than an entire group of 16 year old girls. Ryan could be excused if he did walk away and keep walking thanks to her issues.

Future books in this series ought to be gems if we keep running into the people we met in this book. Few typos, clean and sweet read. I just couldn’t round it up to 5 stars though.

Casey you have done it again! Kelly is a widow whose children are now out on their own and starting their own lives. She is a wife and was always there for her husband before he passed away. Now she is wondering what exactly she is going to do with her life. She has her music and always wanted to be a concert pianist but put it on hold because everyone always comes first in her life and she is always on the back burner.....
Then she receives a package that tells her she has inherited a retreat center that her grandmother has run for years but she must come see it to learn about it and she can't sell it without being there. This is a place that she could escape her overbearing mother in the summers and where she had a great group of friends. BUT, it is in Montana and she is from Boston and California. What the blue blazes would she ever do in Montana. But she knows she has to settle this estate so takes the summer to do just that.
When she gets to the small town she runs into her old friends who have stayed there and finds out that the town has become a haven for artistic people. She moves into the reserve and starts her journey. Then unexpectedly she runs into her first love.
Now what is going to happen, there are so many ups and downs in this story and Casey takes us on a marvelous ride of working through not only the characters issues but it brings up ones we probably share if we are honest.
This is book one in the series and you need to follow up on the rest as we learn how all the occupants of Promise Cove are living their lives and coming together. You won't be disappointed.
