Magic in the Moonlight by Jules Barke

 Laurel was the tag-along sister who had a crush on her big brother's best friend.  Now that Nate is back in town after being away for ten years getting his life together, Laurel doesn't know how she wants him to see her, as his friend's kid sister, or as something more.  Laurel manages a jumble store on the charming island of Moonrise Cove.  The island and its people have always been touched with whisps of magic, and Laurel is no different. Can Laurel get close to Nate without revealing her magical gift, and does she want to?

This is part of a new series written by my neighbor's writing group.  Each novel is set on the same magical island, but each follows a different couple on their bumpy road to love.  I believe they are independently published, so I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be really cute.  It is a clean romance, with likeable and relateable characters.  There are funny mix-ups and bumbling.  This is a good choice for either teen or adult women who want to read a light, fast, clean contemporary romance.
