Anna is a mysterious young widow who just moved to Regina Beach. The residents of the small town know everyone’s business and they are very keen on discovering Anna’s secrets. She meets Nick, a Sergeant in the Canadian Army, until a horrific accident sent him home to recover from his injuries sustained in an IED explosion. He helps Anna feel safe and comfortable in her new environment, just as he has always done for his men in strange, dangerous places. Meanwhile, he focuses on preparing for his future physical endurance test to prove that he is capable of returning to active duty.

Because Anna doesn’t talk about her past and Nick doesn’t talk about his future, she is shocked to discover that his greatest wish is to return to active duty. Afraid of getting hurt, she won’t love a man who may die on the job again. Intellectually, she knows that all life cycles end, but emotionally, she doesn’t know if she has the strength to support Nick.

Review

Moving On is a beautifully written story about healing, and struggling to find a fresh start after a tragic loss.

Anna and Nick share a journey to become a whole again after each have gone through more than what the average person can understand. What stood out to me most was how the author approached the grief of both characters. - Books & Benches

From the Author

This story began because my husband and I raised our family in Regina Beach and we loved the community. This is a resort town, so every spring visitors come to this community. The year-round residents can occasionally get a little grumpy when their stores and restaurants become crowded. I wanted to explore what it would feel like for a woman who wanted anonymity from her past to move to a close knit community. Anna needed a reason to move and in this community there is a strong support system for women and men alone. Therefore, I gave her a tragedy. Her fiancé died before their wedding, however in his will, she inherited a cottage at Regina Beach. For my hero, I thought of someone who was raised in the small community and the only thing he could think of was to leave and see the world as part of the Canadian Armed Forces. However, Nick finds himself back in town sharing his expertise, but thinking he wants to leave again. Our service personnel have a difficult time returning to their past after they've experienced some of horrors of war. As an author I like to tap life issues on the shoulder as I write about characters in love.

Comforting story line detailing how different people deal with losses. Life doesn't follow our original plans and we need to be able to adapt or else grow old and bitter dwelling on our losses. Love and friends make healing easier, even when our first thought is to run away from the pain. People all need to feel useful and and see a defined purpose for their life.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good interesting read.
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2017

A standalone read with a HEA. The story is set in Canada so some of the facts are different from the rules in the USA. Our military would never let a soldier/sailor stay in the military if they had lost a limb. Not even in a desk job. At least I have never heard of that and my husband was in the Navy for over 30 years. But no matter, Canada is different in a lot of ways. Our hero has lost his leg and is home recovering and trying to build his strength back up so that he can return to the front lines. He is living with and helping his father while he is home. There is a strained relationship between these two. The story is set in a small town where everyone knows everyone plus all their business. News travels fast through the gossip grape vine.

The heroine is a young woman that lost her fiancé in a terrible accident just days before their wedding. She has spent the last year getting over his death and trying to move on with her life. I'm not sure how the inheritance came to her since she was just engaged to and not married to her fiancé but again maybe Canada laws are different. She moves to this small town determined to get back on her feet and move on from the past. The whole town is curious as to who she is and why she has chosen to settle in their town. There are lots of secrets in this story. It seems as though everyone has a secret and is trying to keep it from everyone else while at the same time trying to figure out everyone else's secret. Whew!!

It is a very good story. I really enjoyed it. There is a romance but it is very slow building as these two characters have an even bigger secret than they know. I would definitely recommend the story for any age group. The sex was a zero! The story almost reads like a novel as one navigates their way through all the events and past issues these people are living. Very entertaining and a good read. I do think it ended rather abruptly but it was a HEA ending I was just not sure all the secrets were explained. I may have just missed something. Molly was one of my favorite characters.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 7/29/17.

Great story. I liked all the main characters. Next door neighbors of Anna were great and more like family to her. Nick started out to be very cautious of Anna but soon things hanged between them. I do recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Sweet
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015
'Moving on' is a very sweet story about two people who are trying to heal and decide what to do with the rest of their lives after devastating changes.

Nick and Anna are both very strong characters, Anna especially is stronger than she realizes. However, while I recognize the need for privacy, both characters' propensities for keeping secrets did get just a bit annoying to me.

The ending was very abrupt and felt a little bit flat to me, I wish there had been a few pages more.

I loved this book.It was a lovely, sweet, romantic read. I don't consider myself a small town girl, but I fell in love with Regina Beach and its residents.Anna and Nick put themselves and their lives back together in Regina Beach.They heal, find friendship and love in each other, and we root for them the whole time. Annette Bower captures the best of small town life and real love and puts them together in this engrossing read.

If you are in the mood for a well written story with a bit of angst, like able characters , and a sweet budding romance, try this book. I am not a fan of many romances ( maybe just my own inner grinch ) , but this is one that I liked a lot.

Another well written story by author Annette Bower. I just can't put her books down once I start reading them, they are so well written that you feel as if you are actually taking part in the storyline.
Anna Jenkins fiance dies a week before their wedding, broken hearted and trying to heal she moves to Regina Beach where she was bequeathed a cottage. Being a small beach town, the town folks have secrets as does Anna. Nick Donnelly is home from the army recuperating from losing part of his leg to an IED, which only a select few know his secret. Anna and Nick meet at Nick's father's B & B, and continued to run into each other which sparks an interest. Will they be able to trust enough to reveal their secrets and move on? You will have to read the book with all its little twists and turns to find out. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a feel good book to read.
