As I headed to Florida to be a sponsor for teen camp, it made sense to select a book set in the same Florida panhandle to read on the trip. Happily for me, that meant Beth K. Vogt's fun new release, the first in a new series about destination weddings.

Vanessa Hollister is a Denver paramedic whose very practical fiance wants to combine a trip to a medical conference with their big day. He is insisting on the sandy white beaches of Destin, FL, and Vanessa agrees to take a trip down to scout the area, determined to put aside the events of her past once and for all. She once walked the shores of the Gulf with her first husband, but their brief teenage marriage ended in divorce eight years ago. Surely those memories of Logan can't interfere with her future happiness with Ted.

On a vacation back home, Logan Hollister finds himself at a crossroads. He's made a name for himself as a storm chaser, but one costly mistake nearly took the life of his teammate, and now Logan must decide if he wants to continue his daring occupation or make a complete lifestyle change. Things get a lot more complicated when a walk on the beach brings him unexpectedly face to face with his ex-wife - the woman he is still in love with.

Storms are brewing in more ways than one. A hurricane is bearing down on Destin, and no matter how hard she tries to avoid him, Vanessa keeps running into Logan everywhere. She thought a safe and predictable future with Ted was what she wanted, but now Vanessa can't help but consider the possibility that her biggest mistake was perhaps the right decision all along.

I enjoyed this book very much. Vanessa's upbringing in a military family gave her very realistic problems with forming and maintaining relationships of all kinds. Logan's passion for science put a different spin on storm chasing, which normally is considered more of a daredevil thing to do. The only thing I didn't like about the story was that the main characters never seemed to improve their communication problems, and the ending was rushed just at the point when things should have slowed down to be thoughtfully and maturely resolved. Still, I gladly look forward to reading more by this author in the future!
