Gemini “Gemma” McKendrick juggles a lot of
responsibilities. She runs a craft store, along with holding several civic
positions. Gemma must prove her business’ success if she wants to keep her
store open. When she experiences car trouble, newcomer Gabe Kelly comes to her
rescue. The man leaves Gemma flustered and tongue-tied, but she still offers to
rent him her basement. Can Gemma save her shop? Or did she take on more than
she can handle?
Gabriel “Gabe” Kelly is from a low-level, Boston-based
crime family. He cut ties with his family and moves to Townsend Harbor,
Washington to start a new, respectable life. Gabe purchases the town’s only
mechanic shop. He answers a distress call for a mechanic and finds out it is
Gemma. The woman is too good for him, but that does not stop Gabe from
accepting her rent offer. Can Gabe outrun his dark past? Or will it destroy any
possibility of a new start?
I have always had a thing for the snarky bad-boy types. Gabe
is all that and more! He instantly became a fast favorite (and not because he
shares my youngest’ name and nickname). I wanted Gabe and Gemma to be a couple
since his appearance in BREWBIES, book two. They did not really interact, but
they noticed one another. What I adore the most about Gabe is his acceptance of
Gemma’s neurodivergent tendencies. He never treated her like her family and
others had. Instead, he was patient with her and helped her whenever she got
too overwhelmed.
Gemma is considered the “imperfect” twin. She constantly
lives beneath her perfect sister’s shadow. Instead of resenting her sister,
Gemma still loves and cares for Lyra. I like the fact that Gemma is aware of
her handicaps. She does not use it as a crutch, but she tries the best of her
abilities. Sometimes things do not turn out as Gemma hopes. It disappointed me
that Gemma’s parents, and Lyra, never tried to learn about her limitations. Why
I believe Gabe is Gemma’s perfect balance. He prefers her chaotic imperfectness
and creativeness.
BAZAAR GIRLS is the third book in Kerrigan Byrne and
Cynthia St. Aubin’s romantic-comedy series, TOWNSEND HARBOR. Even though this
story can standalone, I recommend reading the series in order. The prior books
set up Townsend Harbor, shows Gemma’s friendship with Cady, and Gabe and Gemma’s
first meeting. It feels like each installment gets better and better.
I like how each book the authors touch on real life
problems that people face. In the first book, Fox suffers from PTSD and Cady
from ankylosing spondylitis. Darby, in the second book, is a breast cancer
survivor. And this last book is no different.
Myrtle and Vee are still hilarious! I love how the two
women look after Cady, Gemma, Darby, and their men in an almost motherly
compacity. Their antics are still outrageous and naughty! I cannot wait to see
their escapades in the next book!
