Book Description: After years of looking for a place to belong, Paula Andrews finally finds her niche in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Her soap and candle shop flourishes, and her friendship with the Papadopoulos family gives her the love and support she never got from her own family.

The only thing missing is a romance - or in the grand hopes of the Papadopoulos family, a proper marriage. Preferably with Nick, their favorite son, currently serving in the Air Force. Paula, however, has doubts. After all, he's been gone a long time and loves flying. Their lives have grown apart. Would he still feel anything for her?

When Nick comes home on leave, sparks fly, and not just with Paula. Nick's father wants him home, helping with the family sponge-diving business. His mother wants him back in the family, back in church. Nick just wants Paula . . . and the Air Force.

So who's going to give in first? And what will it mean for their love and future?

I bought this book at a local library book sale. I love Greek food and this just looked like a fun read.

My Review: Not a bad read, but not great either. It needed some editing. The other thing that bothered me was Nick was raised in Orthodox Greek church, but Paula is a Christian, Nick's mother has no problem that he goes to Paula's church or gets married there. I liked the main characters, but they needed more layers.
