My Thoughts:


This is the second installment from Irene Hannon in the Hope Harbor Lane series, but with that being said I consider it a stand alone story.  
This is a story that warms your heart. It has complex lead characters, well integrated secondary characters, quirky animals, coastal imagery and a crisis of faith. Several threads are woven into the story that give you a sense of small town, but more importantly a community that just pulls you in.  
We are quickly introduced to Eric Nash who has just received the blow of being let go from his job in Portland and is headed home to Hope Harbor. Eric had one goal in mind to become a lawyer and become a partner in a firm.  He's been working 60 hour weeks and making progress or at least he thought he was.  Company downsizing led to his being let go and completely blindsided him.  His plans are to regroup and look for a new job.  
BJ Stevens is an architect that has recently moved to the area.  She left a successful career and LA behind after a betrayal that has left her wounded to the very core.  She quickly fell in love with the small town of Hope Harbor and has opened a business in construction which has kept her busy. 
This is a sweet plot that flows effortlessly.  I was quickly pulled into this story from page one.  The engaging characters are easy to love and make you hope their dreams come true.  The character and setting are detailed and perceptive.  This is a book I would recommend to anyone who loves a good, clean story.
