ABOUT THE BOOK:
A Coast Guard captain would rather spend his time on the sea...unless he's with the woman he's been crushing on for months. If Dave asks just one more time, will Brooklynn give their second chance at romance another shot?
David Reddington has spent years in the Coast Guard, and his career brings him a lot of joy. But he’s lonely even surrounded by his crew, and he feels like he’s perpetually looking out to the ocean, hoping and wishing he could be as fulfilled on land as he is at sea.
Brooklynn Parrish lost her husband three years ago to an accident on the ocean, and she can’t bring herself to accept Dave’s invitations to dinner. Or lunch. Or even coffee. How he can go out on his ship each day baffles her, and she’s not willing to lose another loved one to the relentless ocean waves.
But Dave only has eyes for her, and when they get put together to organize Hawthorne Harbor’s Spring Fling, Brooklynn can’t deny the attraction between them. As they go through the bachelor auction, tour the blooming apple orchards, and judge the dessert bake-off, their relationship deepens and strengthens. Will she be strong enough to battle the unyielding ocean? Or will she lose her heart to another man destined for a catastrophe at sea?
This is a full-length sweet/clean contemporary beach romance in the vein of your favorite Hallmark romance movie by USA Today bestselling author Elana Johnson.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
MY REVIEW:
The Day He Asked Again by Elana Johnson
Love this book because it is about a career I know nothing of.
Brooklynn works as a dog groomer, sometimes from the back of her SUV.
Dave is a captain on a Coast Guard ship that patrols the Port Angeles area in WA.
Can't wait to get back to that area and check this location out further, nature preserve and CG station if it's open to visitors.
They grew up living close by to one another but never dated. She's had a crush on him the whole time. She married a man but he died in a water accident.
That keeps her away from having anything to do with anybody that works on the water or anywhere near it. She is getting counseling and has made good progress.
They do start dating and really get along good as they learn more details about one another.
Disasters happen and he has to go out during the bad storm to help others. She wants no part of that or him now....
You wonder if they will ever get back together with one another.
Loved this book for new words, locations, careers and the story lines.
Can't wait to read more form this author as she writes from an area we travel to yearly.
Love that this book is about an older crowd, as I am.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
