My Kind of Forever
Tracy Brogan. Montlake Romance, $12.99 trade paper (311p) ISBN 978-1-5039-0289-3
In this adorable contemporary, Brogan returns to the small, old-fashioned Michigan island of Trillium Bay (introduced in My Kind of You) to explore the life of newly elected mayor Brooke Callaghan. As she learns on the job, working to pull the island into the 21st century while attempting to keep the peace on the sniping city council, reports of a jewel thief swirl around the small community. Brooke’s commitment to island life is tested by her attraction to Leo Walker, a new bartender with a short-term mindset. This charming sequel successfully continues threads from its predecessor and deepens the community and character relationships. The jewel thief rumors are a continual undercurrent to Brooke and Leo’s growing relationship, highlighting the gossipy nature of the close-knit community and ultimately providing a parallel to Brooke’s emotional dilemma. Revisiting Trillium Bay and getting to know Brooke and Leo will provide satisfying comfort for both new readers and returning fans. Agent: Nalini Akolekar, Spencerhill. (Jan.)
