Oceanside by Michelle Mankin is the third book in the Rock Stars, Surf and Second Chances series. Though this is presented as a standalone and could technically be read as such, I do feel there was some background I could have benefited if I had read the previous books first. Even so, I enjoyed Ash and Fanny’s touching story.
Ashland (Ash) Keys should be on top of the world. He had everything he could ever dream off. But sometimes you need more out of life. He has so many regrets. Fanny Bay is running. She is trying to protect not only herself, but her sister as well. I liked both Ash and Fanny, as both were strong individuals, but also held so much back. Can they find a way to finally open up?
Ash and Fanny met a few years ago, but circumstances sent them separate ways. Now years later both are in very different places in their lives. Their journey was a slow burn story that was at times sad, but also touching.
Oceanside by Michelle Mankin was a second chances romance that was heartbreaking and emotional story that touched many issues. Ash and Fanny’s journey will stay with you long after you finish reading.
