Blackberry Beach

GIVEAWAY

HANNON, IRENE

BLACKBERRY BEACH

Katherine Parker is on the cusp of having everything she ever wanted -- fame, money, and acclaim. So why isn't she happy? In search of answers, she comes incognito to Hope Harbor on the Oregon Coast for some R&R. Maybe in her secluded rental house overlooking the serene Pacific she'll be able to calm the storm inside.

Coffee shop owner Zach Garrett has found his niche after a traumatic loss -- and has no plans to change the life he's created. Nor does he want to get involved with his reticent new neighbor, whose past is shrouded in mystery. He's had enough drama to last a lifetime. But when Katherine and Zach are recruited to help rehab a home for foster children, sparks fly. And as their lives begin to intersect, might they find more common ground than they expected...and discovered that, with love, all things are possible?

Bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon invites you to come home to Hope Harbor -- where hearts heal...and love blooms.

My Review:

Well, we've come full circle. I read an reviewed this book back in April and, because I love this series so much, I decided to start at the beginning with Hope Harbor, this time listening to these wonderful stories all over again. Seven books in seven weeks. Talk about book heaven! Hope you get a chance visit Hope Harbor sometime soon. 

I am completely obsessed with this series! Blackberry Beach is the seventh book and I hope there are seventy more! No worries if you aren't familiar with the fabulous Hope Harbor series...well, yes, you should worry over all that you're missing out on...but each book reads well as a standalone so you can pick up anywhere and start reading.

There are some wonderful consistencies in each book though. The loving small town vibe fueled by caring people intent on making a difference in their little part of the world. The congenially sparring clergy with their rapier wit and quirky banter. The oddly intelligent seagulls, Floyd and Gladys, who like to keep an eye on folks who need some extra TLC. And Charley, of course. Artist with a paintbrush and grill, he has an eye for noticing and and a heart for caring and an uncanny way of putting pieces together in an almost divine manner....honestly, I'd read these books just for Charley!

And here's where I reveal just how completely besotted I am with this series. I have the first six books tucked away on my keeper's shelf and this latest (notice I didn't say last...please let there never be a last!) in my audible library. And because I adore both Irene Hannon's storytelling and Therese Plummer's narration so much, I'm getting ready to start listening to the series right from the start. Book in hand, ear buds in, and I'll be in bibliophile heaven for hours on end. :-)

This seventh book delivers all the heart and hope and second chances that have become trademark with the series. Where the romance develops slowly, from hesitant first missteps to a slow lowering of defenses that catapult Katherine and Zach into serious discussions and deep soul searching along with some toe-curling banter and delicious kisses. Happy sigh. I loved every blessed second!
