Review:
Meet Me in San Francisco begins with Celia in a funk. She’s struggling a bit financially, but she’s also having her ex-husband served with custody papers. And, oh yeah, her ex is getting remarried. She was feeling rejuvenated after her girls trip to Las Vegas. She loved getting away with her best friends. It also helped that she hooked up with a hottie named Landon. Yes, she and Landon have kept in touch, but as things at home kind of spiral downwards, she withdraws from everyone. Sitting alone, after her ex picks up their kids for his wedding and some ‘quality time’, she is trying to gather herself and figure out just what she’s going to do. Then, her doorbell rings and literally changes everything.
Her best friends show up and whisk her away on a road trip to northern California, to a vineyard, that just happens to be owned by Landon. She finds out that he’s actually meeting up with them and taking her on a few adventures for just the two of them, and doesn’t quite know what to make of the whole thing. Landon felt that she was pulling back from him and wants to remind her just who she is and bring back the sparkle in her eyes. Things are going very well until a secret that she’s kept from everyone comes out and threatens her relationships with everyone she holds dear. Feeling betrayed, Landon walks away, until his brother shows up and knocks some sense into him. Once Landon looks at things logically, he knows there’s only one thing to do……..
Meet Me in San Francisco is an amazing addition to Gray’s Girls Weekend Away series. Celia is relatable as a single mother trying to do her best for her children. She is also loyal, almost to a fault. She’s an amazing mom and an amazing friend, albeit a little misguided sometimes. Landon is also a great character. Steadfast, loyal, hot, drool-worthy……….. When the two of them are together, the chemistry leaps off of the page and pulls you in and takes you along for the ride. I loved the first book in this series, but this one touched my heart. It made me laugh, made me tear up, but most of all, it’s the feeling of hope that reeled me in, as it will you. As with the first book, the characters are very well written, and I can’t wait for the next installment. Romance, humor, amazing friends and sexy characters are always good things. If you’re a fan of those things, you’ll love this series. Well done, Shana Gray! Very, very well done!
