Two people starting over . . . in a town known for second chances
After a devastating layoff, attorney Eric Nash heads back to Hope Harbor--only to discover that his childhood home is being transformed into a bed and 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 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 for to help Hope Harbor seniors, might they also find healing, hope, and a new beginning themselves?
Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms
Having read Hope Harbor, book 1 of the series, I was looking forward to Sea Rose Lane. Irene Hannon has such a way with her contemporary
novels. Like Hope Harbor, Sea Rose Lane
shares a story in the beautiful (though fictional) coastal town of Hope Harbor,
OR. Reading it is like being opened to a
town that you are part of with people you’ll fall in love with. The struggles of our characters are real, the
romance sweet, the relationships endearing and most abundantly, the hope that
resonates with you as the story concludes is awe-inspiring.
Though Sea Rose Lane is
the second in the series, it can be read like a stand-alone. The connection lies with the town and some of
the characters. Charley’s taco stand! Don’t I imagine grabbing one and the
blessings that comes with it! Mind as well enjoy the company of Floyd and
Gladys too, well, maybe not. They are
seagulls! Sea Rose Lane has an air of
being a light-read, but it’s far from it, in terms of the message one can get
out of it. Understanding love and compassion, finding what your heart desires
versus what you think you want,
seeking God’s truth and plans for you and resolving your own stubbornness to be
open to possibilities. Sometimes we just
need to be reminded how we are and can be narrow-minded. Are we just use to
saying “no” off right, without thinking at least a “maybe?” Well, Sea
Rose Lane is definitely not a “maybe,”
but a definite read. And just maybe,
it gives you hope to look at all the possibilities. I look forward to many more from Irene
Hannon.
