About the book:

     Three-Time RITA Winner Invites Readers Back to the Captivating Coastal Town of Hope Harbor.

     After a devastating layoff, attorney Eric Nash heads back to the town where he grew up – only to discover that his childhood home is being transformed into a bed & breakfast. Instead of plotting his next career move in peace, he’s constantly distracted by noise, chaos – and BJ Stevens, the attractive but prickly blonde architect and construction chief who’s invaded the house with her motley crew.

     As for BJ, her client’s son might be handsome, but after a disastrous romance, dating isn’t high on her agenda. Yet when they join forces to create a program for Hope Harbor seniors, might they also find healing, hope, and a new beginning themselves?

My review:

     This is a wonderful contemporary romance novel.

     This book is a stand-alone story. But at the same time life is going on for many of the characters that were in the first book and their appearances make more sense if you have already read the previous story. Some of them are charmingly eccentric and a lot of fun.

     I loved returning to Hope Harbor. We meet some new characters in this book and get to visit again with some of our old friends from book one. I really like the depth of the characters that Irene Hannon has created. They appear in every walk of life and many different life circumstances.

     One of the recurring themes in this book is people who are trying to rebuild a new life for themselves after some type of loss. Some of them have to make drastic changes to do so. But the one thing that helps them all is the deep level of community that exists in this small town on the Oregon coast.

     This delightful book is getting a rating of 5 stars from me. I’m highly recommending it.
