Sinopsis

Mae Kellerman is content. After forty years of ups and downs, she has a meaningful job at a queer community center in Portland, Oregon. She has an apartment full of plants, a ride-or-die group of friends.

Until the day her best friend actually does up and die. Leaving Mae with a hole in her heart—and a shocking amount of money.

But before she can think about that, she has to throw his perfect death party, followed by spreading his ashes on the Oregon Coast. It's there that she stumbles upon an empty storefront for sale in the tiny whale-watching town of Greyfin Bay. Overnight, an old dream resurfaces...and Mae's newfound inheritance could make it possible.

If only Dell McCleary didn't stand in her way.

Dell only sells property to the folks actually invested in the best interests of Greyfin Bay. Not some Portlander with pink hair who breezes in on a whim. A Portlander who, irritatingly, refuses to take no for an...


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



Hi friends! Since some ARCs are starting to go out in the world, I thought it’d be a good time to share some content warnings for this one, which I do not consider a rom-com, even though I still hope these serious topics are balanced with a healthy amount of lightness (and of course, romance):

- PTSD from a random act of violence, including triggers on page
- grief from recent death of a close friend
- malicious property damage
- mentions of past cheating
- illness of a parent, but no parent dies on page (nor is any dog harmed)

This book also discusses polyamory, if for any reason that is a tricky subject for you.

I love this book very much. While I do plan on writing more in this world (you can ly guess, after reading this one, who I plan to write more about in the next two books), this will ly be the last adult romance I publish for quite some time, so I hope you enjoy Mae and Dell’s story.

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]

Heartwaves by Anita Kelly is a wonderful Queer contemporary romance!

Serious question, she typed. How would we feel about me moving to the coast and opening a queer ass bookstore?

Mae , after losing their best friend, decides to use the money they inherited to open up a queer bookstore in the small coastal town that meant so much to him. However the owner of the store front , Dell, doesn't trust that Mae will be able to cut it long term so gives them a monthly lease after Mae remains persistent. The two aren't fans of each other but when Mae needs a place to stay , Dell offers his quest house. When Mae needs bookshelves, he offers to build them. The more time spent together the more their connection grows. But things aren't smooth for them, and have situations and emotions to handle before they can take a chance on being more than friends.

Dell McCleary was the one thing, other than her books and the ocean, that made her feel at home here. That made her feel safe.

Where to start with everything I loved about this book but without giving away spoilers. Both our MCs, Mae and Dell, are in their 40s and fat - which YES to older MCs and quality fat rep
