Dr. David Lawrence has spent the last two years atoning for his sins and recovering from the devastating breakup with Gansett Island golden girl Janey McCarthy. As the island's only doctor, he's had ample opportunity to show his fellow island residents that there's more to him than the guy who disappointed Janey so profoundly. Now if only he could find a way to forgive himself, he might be able to move on with his life without the woman he'd expected to love forever...

Daisy Babson, probationary director of housekeeping at McCarthy's Gansett Island Inn, is in bad need of a fresh start after her relationship with Truck Henry took a violent turn, leaving her battered and broken-in more ways than one. As she recovers from her injuries, her days are made brighter by her visits with David Lawrence. The kind and caring doctor who tended to her after the attack has become much more than a friend to her in recent weeks.

Will these two wounded hearts take comfort from one another and move forward on a new path toward love together? Or will ghosts from the past derail them before they get the chance for their own happily ever after?

Catch up with many of your favorite characters from earlier books in the McCarthys of Gansett Island Series, and get set for another summer of love on Gansett!

It's "Time for Love" and another voyage to the beautiful and picturesque Gansett Island. Readers will once again be swept away by an emotionally charged romance between two very lucky individuals who are about to find their elusive happily ever after.

The forever kind of love could easily be within reach for Daisy Babson and Dr. David Lawrence. Yes, this may be the right time for a shift from friendship into a deeper and more meaningful relationship. For one, it will be the chance at redemption and the other may find a long-awaited safe haven.

Dr. David deserves special kudos for several outstanding and unforgettable moments in Book 9 of this series. He proceeded with such tender caution in dealing with Daisy's insecurities (even though she pushed him to the limits and I think he rather enjoyed himself). He also proved that he's a devoted caring friend and a highly qualified physician on more than one occasion. Although the handsome doc made some whopper mistakes in his previous relationship with the Island's favorite daughter Janey, I've never really felt he was unworthy of a second chance at love. He was always redeemable in my eyes. Marie clearly made him shine.

If she can somehow transform Jim Sturgil into somewhat of a decent guy, she'll be a freaking true magician. That man is a pure self-absorbed SOB in my opinion and has no redeeming qualities. I truly detest the man to the nth degree!

Among the many delights held on the pages of the latest release, is a surprise wedding where one of our beloved couples spoke their vows and became husband and wife. It was so perfectly them. And, without a doubt, the arrival of a new baby on the Island stirs the pot of emotions and excitement. There are some truly great "couple-moments" throughout this book. The dialog and banter is amazing as usual and what we've come to expect from this author.

Readers are provided a great catch-up with reoccurring characters, as well as a meet-and-greet with new ones who you'll hope to see in future books. Marie Force has a knack for interlinking the old with the new while, at the same time, each book in the series is unique and stands on its own.

We are shown more of the friendship between the good doctor and his nurse practitioner. I love how Marie has developed the friendship shared between David and Victoria. Who would have thought the nurse practitioner/midwife was such a wild girl? More power to you, Vic! And the arrival from Ireland of Seamus O'Grady's gorgeous cousin, Shannon is just another yummylicious addition!

The face-to-face talk between Carolina and Nora O'Grady was even better than I could have imagined. Loved the way it was handled with such care and feelings for all parties involved - especially dealing with the issue of children, both young and old. I'll admit to being surprised by Mrs. O'Grady's reaction to the lady who'd stolen her son's heart.

The Martinez family is formally introduced to readers and their situation touched me in a very personal way and I admit to shedding a few tears while reading their history. I'm excited to learn more about them as their storyline continues to develop. Bravo to the "Force" for always touching on current events and real life issues many families face daily in the real world.

I need and want (okay, I may be begging a bit here) more info on Jared James, the mystery man, who has suddenly shown up as Dr. David's landlord. Love the setup for him! And will he find love among our beloved residents on Gansett Island? I certainly hope so!

The big question is who will win the heart of our sweet lighthouse keeper Jenny Wilks now that she's ready to find love again? There are some great prospects from which to choose. Among my favorites in the running are: Mason Johns, the fire chief, Slim Jackson, the Gansett Island pilot, Jared James, the new millionaire mystery man, either Alex or Paul Martinez, the brothers who operate the family landscaping business, Coast Guard Captain Linc Mercier, and then there's Shannon O'Grady - but I think Victoria may keep him tied up! And, of course, this author is notorious for always having a surprise up her sleeve so expect the unexpected in the next book.

Marie Force has won my respect and admiration many times over by telling her stories straight from her heart in her own unique way with candid humor, emotion, and wit. She never fails to provide readers with fresh and up-to-date storylines featuring characters that come alive on each page. It's no wonder they're always begging for more - preferably sooner than later, please. One minute you're laughing out loud and in the next tears are running down your cheeks resulting in a delightfully unforgettable story with each and every new release. "Time for Love" is another prime example of a wonderfully talented author at her very best.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAVID: he's been fully vindicated - finally!

Truly; this was a wonderful romance between two individuals who needed that special someone in their lives. Heaven knows, they'd both been through so much to the point where this book starts out. Both David and Daisy are very good people who'd been caught-up in their own life dramas and hadn't had the best outcome in love. Daisy is an especially sweet young woman who has experienced horrific treatment at the hands of her prior boyfriend. David is a young doctor who has been through the hell that only a cancer survivor has memory of but also the fallout of his actions when going through that cancer diagnosis. David was once in along term relationship that he lost through his own actions and has felt that loss and shame for the ensuing years......

The unfolding attraction and growing love affair really left this reader wanting more of Gansett Island and thankfully there is to be a book number 10, called MEANT FOR LOVE.

The GANSETT ISLAND series has been one that this reader knows what to expect in a wonderfully woven love story with a certain amount of angst and drama thrown in for good measure. Each book has held such a sweet place in my reader's heart and although I have my favorite love-duos.....('cough' Maddie and Mac to name one couple) - each book is unique in that we get an update on some of the prior book couplings. In no way have I ever been left wanting or disappointed. The 'heat' level is always perfect for this reader and some couples are hotter than others (again, 'cough'....Maddie and Mac to name one couple!). The series features GANSETT ISLAND characters that I've come to love and look for mention of, and I'm so thankful for the mention of said characters because that enhances the sense of continuity that is all about GANSETT ISLAND.

This is a wonderful addition to the series and certainly worth the wait. Thank you dear authoress for another fine story.

Marie Force books have become my favorite and this one as all the Gansett Island series was fantastic. I feel I really know all the characters so well because each book keeps the past stories alive without being annoying in repeating their story but just telling enough that you remember the previous books and characters.

Once again I found myself completely immersed and captivated in the lives of the residents of Gansett Island. Time for Love doesn't disappoint in the slightest and for 6 hours I have barely moved from the sofa.

Focussing on David and Daisy, whose prospective love story has been simmering away nicely, Marie has done a fabulous job of keeping the lives of all the islanders we love in the frame as well as introducing new characters (hopefully paving the way for many more trips to come). Being the 9th book in the series, there was always the risk of the books becoming too 'busy', but in focussing on a select few couples, with mentions of others, it is done in a perfect way.

David's time has been a long time coming and whilst he was the bad guy in the earlier books, he has chipped his way into my affections with each book. A sensitive subject has been handled with compassion and with emotion, humour, drama, plenty of sizzling moments and romance, I laughed, I felt their joy and pain and I made many of those sighs of appreciation we women are prone to when we are that little bit in love. Gansett truly is one my favourite places on earth and it goes without saying, this is a must read (and I am a little jealous of those who have yet to read it!)

Book 9 in the series did not disappoint! I have to say I was a little nervous as there is now so many books in this fabulous series but Time for Love may be one of my favourite! I actually liked the fact the you got to meet some of the newer couples, but you also got introduced to lots of new people and I found myself wondering who they were going to couple up with in later books. But we still saw little bits of the favourite couples. But lets talk about David and Daisy. I love them!!!! They are lovely together and so good for each other. I love the fact that you didn't forget old story lines and didn't make things plain sailing for them. I loved the book a lot and look forwards to the next one. Would also like to read a catch up one to see what all the other couples are up to! Great book and would recommend this series to you. But start from book one so you get the full affect.
