Come What Maybe by Kerri Carpenter
Come What Maybe by Kerri Carpenter, book one in her Seaside Cove series, is a small town love story, focusing on the oldest of three adults sisters who return a small coastal town in Maine near Kennebunkport, to help her youngest sister through her troubles. They are staying with their tough but loving grandmother who practically raised them after their mother’s death. On her first night back in Seaside Cove she visits the local bar. She is surprised to find it owned and run by her childhood frenemy Ethan McAllister. They crushed on each other as kids but she ended up dating his best friend, became the antagonizing third wheel. Ethan has traveled and lived by the seat of his pants before returning home and buying the bar. Ethan had a bad marriage that left him cautious about relationships, but the connection he and Lauren have is different, it sizzles and sparks; drawing them together. Unfortunately, there are consequences to their time together, freaking out Lauren, the perfectionist. The dilemma for Lauren, who lives for over-planning, is if she can handle being with someone totally her opposite, someone who never plans beyond the present. Except, suddenly they start to agree on everything; which is totally unfamiliar territory for them. They begin to like each other more and disagree less; it's almost as if them being together was meant to be. Or is it?
Ms. Carpenter wrote a sweet, humorous, and endearing love story that should not be
missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions,
attraction, chemistry, clever banter, bickering and
supportive sisters, and a cast of secondary characters helping
Lauren and Ethan find love
as well as the place where they belong, together. I highly recommend Come What Maybe to other readers and look forward to Brooke and Gabby’s, Lauren's sisters, stories.
