Photographing Kate (A Moonshire Bay Small Town Romance Book 3) by Elle Sweet

From Amazon

Welcome to Moonshire Bay - the small town lakeside community that has love in the air ♥

After Kate’s husband of over twenty years is sentenced for embezzling and fraud, she loses everything and needs to start over. She decides to visit Moonshire Bay to regroup at the urging of her friend, Claire, who owns the diner there.

Knowing she needs a way to support herself, she rekindles her passion for photography and starts to think maybe staying in Moonshire Bay is her best chance at happiness.

Zach is the town attorney and a confirmed bachelor. After a scarring experience with love and almost marriage in his younger days, he vowed never to get any closer to a woman than a casual relationship.

When Zach meets Kate, the wounded look that lingers behind her smile grabs him and he wants to know her better, but Kate was burned by her lawyer ex-husband. Even if she wanted a relationship it wouldn’t be with a member of that profession.

Zach tricks Kate in order to get to know her better. When she finds out, will she understand and forgive him or will it push her further away?

My thoughts

Thanks to Emma of Damppebbles Blog Tours for the opportunity to take part on the blog tour for this book. I was given a copy of this story in exchange for a review.

I gave this a 4 stars or /10.

This is a gentle romance and is the perfect escapism for readers at the moment. We can step out of our day today life and any issues that we might have, and step into the world of Kate and Zach.

This is the first of the Moonshire Bay Small Town romance series, that I have read. All the stories can be read as standalone books. They might have some returning characters dotted about in them.

I enjoyed this story and the developing relationship between Kate and Zach, that we as readers are able to see as the story progresses. Well written and with short chapters that grab you from the start, you're soon wanting to just read that one more to see where the story is taking you on the journey that you find yourself on with the residents of Moonshire Bay.

Kate had been hurt in the past by the relationship that she had had with her ex-husband. His reputation and what happened preceded him. As a result of this Kate had developed an unfair reputation by association and people were aware of who she was. As Kate tries to break away from the past and forge a new future for herself, is she able to trust others and more importantly are they able to trust her. Can Zach be the one to help her get over her ex-husband and more importantly does he want to be the one to do it? Only time will tell what happens to these two.
