I enjoyed this feel-good romance on so many levels - Jeannie Moon's characters are realistic and down-to-earth, the storyline is emotional and heartwarming. I felt an affinity to Mia's nephew Ben as right off the bat he reminded me of my own son who's a similar age. I loved the grandmothers and hope to see them as a common thread in future books in the series. All in all a good read. ( )

Jeannie Moon is a treasure. Far beyond the new beginnings and second chances lies not just a romance but a family. Mia, Ben and Adam are the key players, but it's the secondary characters that steal the show. Mia's mother is a piece of work. Self -centered, cold, cruel and needy. Her grandmother on the other hand sealed the deal for me. Fiesty, funny and unforgettable are just a few adjectives to describe the firecracker of an old lady. How can you not fall in love with such realistic people and such great writing? Then Came You is an enticing beginning to what I think will be an unforgettable series. ( )

A bittersweet love story about how Mia, a single woman who is guardian to her 10-year-old nephew Ben, overcomes the challenges of being a single parent while trying to build a life for herself and her ward. In all the time that she has cared for Ben, she neglects herself, her dreams, he needs. Moving to Compass Cove allows her to re-evaluate the direction in which her life is headed. Never having been appreciated for whatever she has done and being constantly berated by her mother, she lacks confidence. But she plans to take charge of her life, allow Ben to be who he wants to me and maybe live and love a little as she pleases.

Adam, on the other hand, has lived life in the fast lane and has crashed, burned and has now recovered. Leaving behind his life as an NFL player, he now coaches football. He has never loved anyone, but the attraction that he has felt for Mia from the first time he saw her, makes him realize that she is probably the only woman that he will ever need in his life from here on out. But the wary Mia can sense the danger of letting him get too close even though their chemistry is off the charts. And now that she's determined to adopt Ben, she needs to think about his well-being before herself. Adam may be great with Ben on the field but she'd not sure whether he'd be as great with her heart.

I received an Advanced Reviewers Copy from the Publisher via NetGalley for voluntary review consideration. ( )

Both Mia and Adam have recently moved to the small town of Compass Cove for different reasons. Mia, who spent summers in Compass Cove, has moved back to raise her nephew Ben. Adam, a professional athlete forced to retire after an accident, has moved there to coach a local college team and to re-examine his life choices. Both Mia and Adam have baggage and real life issues that they are dealing with and neither of them is living the life they thought they would be at this point in their lives. Romance isn't necessarily a top priority for either of them but the town of Compass Cove appears to have other ideas. I liked this sweet romance between two unlikely people. At first glance you wouldn't think they would be a good match but somehow it works and Mia and Adam prove that they were meant to be. This book has all of the ingredients of a good romance; likeable characters, a good plot, humor and depth. I look forward to hearing more from the residents of Compass Cove. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review through the early reviewers program. ( )

The two primary characters, Mia DeAngelis and Adam Miller, have undeniable chemistry, and their romance certainly had desire and love.
After giving up her life to look after her nephew, Ben, Mia finds it hard to put herself first for a change. Moving to her grandparents small town Compass Cove, she meets Adam who also came to get back to small town living after becoming a failed athlete.
The renowned womanizer struggles to deal with the chemistry drawing him to Mia. is the future really already set out by a mystical and romantic folklore about a coastal small town and the oddly behaving compass for which it was named; Which moves strangely to guide lovers to their true north.
Sweet enjoyable romance ( )
