So when his late best friend’s sister asks for his help, he doesn’t hesitate. He promised he’d watch out for Cassie, and the cottage next to his will be a perfect short-term refuge for her and her dog. The other half of that promise—to stay away from Cassie romantically—is harder to keep. Sheltered for years because of a childhood illness, Cassie is ready to reach for what she wants. And despite her family’s warnings and her own fears, Cassie’s heart wants Evan. As the return of his estranged son puts his sobriety to the test, Cassie and Evan are drawn together, finding strength through what they’ve each weathered.

Forever On The Bay
Delightful plot, the settings and characters. A place where forgiveness and healing are tested. When the past comes to test Evan but with Cassie and the love and hope for a more fulfilling life. A good clean heartwarming story, of reaching out for what you want. GivenARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Intriguing!
Forever on the Bay by Lee Tobin McClain is book six in her The Off Season series. The standalone books in the series continue to get better and better.
Evan Stone is the only single cop on the Pleasant Shores police force. His presence next door to the Victory Cottage is intended to deter criminals. Cassandra Thomas is the little sister of Evan’s best friend; only, she’s not so little any more. Living in Victory Cottage was supposed to help Cassie, not cause her more emotional pain. Will these two find a way to comfort each other without the complications attraction brings?
More of the same is a good thing when it comes to Ms. McClain’s The Off Season series, and Forever on the Bay is more of the same. Readers familiar with the series will remember Evan Stone, and we’re introduced to Cassie Thomas, the latest inhabitant of Victory Cottage. These two characters are very well-conceived and interesting. The plot is intriguing and holds the reader’s attention. The setting still holds a prominent place, giving some local ambiance. This is yet another 5 out of 5 star read in this series. I recommend it to all readers of chaste romance and romantic suspense.
My thanks to the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However, the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.
