About the book:
When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster fishing
business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should
take it over instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the
small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent
seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross in charge. Not when he
ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education
ten years ago.
Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, as well as a way to provide for his mother, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.
Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg will work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.

My review:
I absolutely loved this book! Meg and Oliver were both wonderful and I loved the love/hate relationship they shared because of a situation in their past. Meg was strong and loved her parents fiercely and would do anything to save her family's legacy. I thought she was crazy myself, especially since she gets really seasick! Oliver had come a long way from the angry teenager he used to be and I loved the care he showed for Meg, from helping her prepare for the work to being a listening ear and being so gentle with her mom. They both had a strong faith, too. The romance was so sweet and I loved the little moments between them. I love Liz Johnson's books because she writes her characters so well, along with the wonderful romance. The setting was gorgeous and I can't wait to visit this wonderful place. I highly recommend this book!
