Sunrise Reef + Giveaway

After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life–except romance. But that’s okay. Men are a complication she doesn’t need.

Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn’t looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn’t intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who’s taken up residence in his father’s guest cottage. But when he finds himself sucked into her quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there’s more to each other than meets the eye

Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites you back to the charming town of Hope Harbor–where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

My Review:

Picture me, blissfully basking in a post-read afterglow because Hope Harbor is my happy place and these folks are my found family! If only I could magic myself there!

The next best thing is listening to Therese Plummer’s heartfelt performance as she narrates the audio book. Plummer captures all the emotional nuances of the story and delivers the kind of performance that suggests she relishes every word as much as I do. A winning author/narrator combination! And I love the consistency of using the same narrator for each book in the series. It feels like a real homecoming the second I hear Therese Plummer’s voice reading Irene Hannon’s words!

And, oh my, but does this eleventh book deliver all the feels and so much hope! (No worries, it can be read as a standalone too, but once you’ve visited Hope Harbor, you’ll be sure to go back time and time again!) Love getting glimpses of past heroes and heroines as well as steadfast secondary characters (Charley! Dueling clergy!! Floyd and Gladys!!!)

Aside from Noah and Bren’s story, there’s a secondary plot involving a young woman striking out on her own for the first time. The way her life merges with Bren’s, and consequently Noah’s, makes for masterful storytelling. It’s funny, and touching and ultimately so inspirational. Love the balance Emma brings to the very slow-burn romance building between our hero and heroine (even though it starts out with a very fiery meet-cute. Bwahahaha!)

Their’s is an enemies to more, opposites attract kind of love story with lots of starts and stops along the way. They are thoughtful and careful…and yes, wary. Honestly, we have most of Hope Harbor to thank for getting Bren and Noah together in the end. Because found family takes care of each other like that. 🙂

I so enjoyed my sojourn back to Hope Harbor. Hannon has created another exceptional story full of grace and hope and a true sense of belonging. A stunning addition to a much loved series.

  11. I looked at her book list and had no idea she had so many Hope Harbor books! I always say that you can’t go wrong with an Irene Hannon novel and this series just has such a depth of warmth. Yes, there are always problems but the characters are very relatable.
