Between You and Me

Meghan Rose and Will Scott spent four years sailing together on water baby. They made an amazing team, and along with a great crew they won many races together. Meghan was unable to win Will's heart though so she left him. Two years later, Meghan is living the life she always wanted. She has a successful career as a real estate agent, a home, and a fiancé. Alan is everything Will isn't but when Will walks through her office door begging her to help him win the Newport-Bermuda sailing race she starts to remember all the things she loved about him. Will tried to convince himself that all he needed was just Meghan to win the race but once they are back on the water together he realizes that he loves her, and he always has. Rachel Jenks and Thad Westwood are crewmembers on water baby. Rachel has been in love with Thad forever and after six years, he's finally noticing her. Will, Meghan, Thad, and Rachel have lost their hearts. Can they win them back and the race too? I really liked Meghan and Will, and I was cheering for them to be together, but Meghan's engagement to Alan puts a bit of a damper on things because you know someone is going to get hurt there, even if it is clear that Meghan is made for Will. I loved Thad and Rachel! Thad is charming and Rachel is very sweet. Between You and Me is a fun story with a lot of angst. Nannette reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

A quick recap of the story: Will and Meg were a couple for 4 years, Meg gave Will an ultimatum, he didn't take it. Meg left Will and the life of sailing. Two years later one of Will's crew gets injured and he needs Meg on the crew to win the race. Meg has a new job and is engaged but agrees to do one more race with Will. This book had all of the elements I love in a story. The story line was realistic (I have a hard time with characters that meet and marry within weeks) but also fed into my own fantasy, who doesn't like to daydream about a guy that broke their heart is regretting it and is still pining for them years later. The characters of Will and Meg were very likable despite their flaws. The secondary love story I thought was a little rushed, but was still a sweet story. This is one of those books that I couldn't read fast enough but was very sad to have it end.
