It’s summertime, the perfect season for another trip to Cozzi Cove: the magical place where nothing is what it seems, and romance is always in the sea air.Welcome back to hunky Cal Cozzi’s seven guest bungalows on the New Jersey Shore. This summer Cal is visited by Kevin Donovan, a handsome man from his past who makes Cal a tempting offer to buy Cozzi Cove and provide financial security to Cal and Michael’s baby. Cal’s Wall Street sister, Taylor, has hopped aboard Kevin’s green wagon. However, Cal’s husband, Michael, and Taylor’s wife, Carla, sense something much deeper in Kevin’s offer than meets the roving eye. Cal’s exhibitionist new houseboy, Carlos, is smitten with Cal’s sweet-faced nanny, Alfred, who carries a shocking secret in his magic Mormon underwear. Middle-aged Matchmaker Gilead has matched guests Marine Master Sergeant Matt Pummel and much younger businessman Keone Paoa to the chagrin of cute young lawyer Luis Lui. As skeletons come out of their closets, the bears and cubs search for their true honey. Woodsy guest Nyx Oberon meets a sexy werewolf at the cove and they share a howling moonlit night. Nyx believes his newfound lover could be part of a much larger plan that would change his life and the world forever.
Will Cal, his family, and his guests have happy endings? It’s Cozzi Cove after all.

Happy Endings is book five in the Cozzi Cove Series but you can read them out of order since each one deals with seven different guests, though Cal and his family's story is recurring. There is just enough backstory in each one that you can follow heir story just fine, but the books are so good I suggest reading them all! They re like M&Ms or potato chips... you can't read just one, they are so addicting. I always impatiently wait for a new summer season to see who the guests will be at Cozzi Cove and what lies in store for cal and his family.
This year is a bit different. Cabin one is rented to his manny, A matchmaker rents the next four, for him and three guests, Number six is rented to a reclusive man with lots of hair and seven to a strange little man that lives in the woods and says he is a woody. There is also a new cabin boy and don't worry he is as hot and promiscuous as the last one. He and the demur Alfred become close friends though Alfred has a secret.
The matchmaker set up Matt and a much younger Hawaiian boy as a match, though it seems that Keone and Luis have much more in common and hit it off. Then we find out a secret why Matt and Keone didnt work out. But is that the only secret Gabriel has up his sleeve? Man are there some twists and turns with these four! I will leave the match between cabin six and seven for you to find out but let me warn you it is pretty bizarre and I was wondering how that was gonna play out for real.
You may think that's a lot but wait! If you read this book you will get an extra bonus! Yes! For the price of this book you get those four possible matches, several twists and a shocking revelation you also get a peek at Cal's past and will an ex-showing up with an offer to buy Cozzi be the end of Cozzi Cove as we know it? All of this excitement, sweet and sexy stories, twists and surprises and sexiness for the price of one book!
