One summer, two sisters and a chance to start over…
Before the burglary that shattered her confidence, Phoenix Rose had a fiancé, a successful store and a busy, happy existence. After months spent adrift, she takes a job at the lakeside resort of Cooper’s Charm. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, friendly colleagues and a charismatic, widowed boss, Phoenix is slowly inching her way back into the world.
Visiting Cooper’s Charm to check up on her little sister, Ridley Rose impulsively agrees to fill in as housekeeper. Still reeling from an ego-bruising divorce, she finds satisfaction in a job well done—and in the attention of the resort’s handsome scuba instructor.
For Phoenix and Ridley, Cooper’s Charm is supposed to be merely temporary. But this detour may lead to the place they most need to be, where the future is as satisfying as it is surprising…

Summary
Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster was a charming romance with two sisters battling hurts from their pasts.
Phoenix had survived a robbery and assault physically but was still healing mentally. She comes to Cooper’s Charm applying for the landscaping job. I enjoyed that she was great at her job. The author created a fascinating character in Phoenix. She was trying to reclaim her strength from before the assault. Cooper was the perfect mate for her. Cooper was dealing with his own past and wanted to help Phoenix. He was so good to her. The addition of the dog was adorable.
Phoenix is very close to her older sister, Ridley. Ridley is still hurt from her divorce. She took him for a lot of money in the divorce so she does not have to worry about money. But she ends up taking on a job at Cooper’s Charm when she came to visit her sister. Ridley and Baxter create sparks at first sight. Their relationship was explosive. Their banter was witty.
Sex - 4, descriptive, multiple scenes with Phoenix and Cooper, and Ridley and Ridley.
