Reeling from personal tragedies, travel photographer Kay Turner retreats to her newly inherited beach house to clear her mind. Everything is exactly as she remembers it---the sound of the waves, the scent of her grandmother’s perfume, and the irresistibly sexy James Margolis, the man she pined for every summer of her youth.
James always thought of Kay as a “nice kid”, but she’s all grown up now. When Kay agrees to divulge her grandmother’s family recipes for him to use in his new restaurant, they find themselves sharing more than culinary secrets.
Fate has brought them together again, but James’s restaurant means his feet are firmly planted in their sandy beach town, and Kay’s job sends her all over the world… Can they turn their steamy summer reunion into a lifetime of happiness?
"It was extremely refreshing to read a book about two adults that actually behave as adults. Kay and James seemed like real people…people I could be friends with." --Lindsay, Goodreads
"I’m in love again. I love reading a story of one of my favorite authors and getting lost in her book. If you haven’t read a book by Karen Stivali then you are missing out on a wonderful writer of contemporary romance." --Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
"Then, Again is a cute case story that makes my belief is happy ever after firmer. Despite us stepping into a future where good things lies ahead, it’s also good to look back to see people that we could bring along to the good future times." --Karla Mae, Goodreads
This was such an enjoyable book. It was a nice summer romance between two people that have known each other pretty much their whole lives. Kay had the biggest crush on James as a teenager so he’s always been her dream man. And inexplicably to her, he liked her too.
This book was sweet. It wasn’t ang ...more

I thoroughly loved this book and loved the chemistry between James and Kay. Their attraction had always been there since they were younger, and it was just icing on the cake to see their attraction pick up after all the years they hadn't seen each other.

This started really well and I enjoyed the first half quite a bit. I thought the second half wasn't quite as good, but I think its because Kay started to annoy me. I thought James was a great hero, very relatable, sweet and sexy. His only issue was that he seemed to be a bit of a pushover w ...more
