Mila has risked it all to take on the job of Executive Director at Marina Ranch, and the pressure is on to perform. While trying to fill the last of the luxury retirement apartments, she falls in love with the residents. You can see it in the way she really knows each of them as individuals, not just clients or people to take care of. When a new potential client, Rose, walks through the door with her hunky adopted son - we see potential hearts all around.

But convincing Blake that Marina Ranch is the right place for Rose proves to be a challenge, one that Mila is more than willing to take on. And when they are pushed together by their mutual attraction, things don't go exactly as planned. In fact, they sort of fail in a hilariously miserable way. Through the series of disasterous dates, both Mila and Blake I was able to really see both of their personalities and watch them grow, as they both had lessons to learn from each other - about letting go, being yourself, and looking to the future.

Several of the residents of Marina Ranch play supporting roles in the book, and I loved each of them. Throw out the stereotypical elderly person, and get ready to meet the quirky and fun-loving residents who are willing to team up for a good cause. I looked forward to their interactions and conversations, and they brought an added dimension to the book in the sense of a community around our couple.

Sunset Dreams is a touching and fun romance between two stubborn and carreer-driven people. On the surface, you would never pair Mila and Blake together, but through the pages, they open up and find out they are perfect for each other.
