Sunrise Reef Irene Hannon

    

 Description:

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:

This was a cute story. I loved Emma and her dedication to making lemonade out of lemons life threw at her. While it’s not always easy to take help from others when you’re struggling sometimes just kindness from others goes along way in Emma and Bern’s case. I liked Bren a lot as well while she was reserved about putting her heart all in she left the door open to allow others in and find where to she belonged in her world. I will be honest I was not a fan of Noah at all at first, I found him so judgmental and stuck on himself he could not see outside his bubble to see those in need. However as the story went on between, Bev, Fred and a handful of other characters he started to break down walls and see the world in a different light. I liked how the author kept this book clean and suitable for all readers. For me this is well worth the read

Starfish Pier Irene Hannon- Hope Harbor #6

Description:
A year ago, ex-Delta Force operator Steven Roark left the rigors of combat behind to run fishing charters in Hope Harbor, decompress, and talk some sense into his kid brother. Business is good--but making peace with his past is more challenging than he expected.

First-grade teacher Holly Miller leads a quiet, low-profile existence--until she's recruited to advocate for a cause that's dear to her heart. When she solicits Steven's assistance, sparks fly--especially after they find themselves on opposite sides of an issue that disrupts their placid seaside community.

As these two seemingly incompatible souls search for common ground, might they discover a deeper connection--and find that love can banish darkness and light the way to a future filled with promise?

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

My thoughts on the book:

I would say this book does discuss some very tough issues. The author had a way of getting to the heart of the matter that's for sure. I did feel like the book dragged some. I like Steven why he faced his own demons he had a big heart of wanting to help those around him. As in all Hope Harbor book Charley, Gladys and Floyd make appearances through out and I always love them they have a way of  adding a good laugh to the story, but Charley has away of knowing just what to say when it needs to be said and giving the guidance and wisdom. I had mix feeling on Holly but in the end she grew on me. Over all this is a good clean read and may be suitable to all. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Pelican Point Irene Hannon

Description:
A crumbling lighthouse is not part of the inheritance Army doctor Ben Garrison expects to claim when he journeys to Hope Harbor. Fresh out of the service, he wants only to unload the tower of bricks, decompress from years of treating battlefield trauma and prepare to launch his civilian career.

Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber has other ideas. She may not be a Hope Harbor native, but the small Oregon seaside town has become home--and she's determined to save the Pelican Point landmark.

Sparks fly as the two go head to head over the fate of the lighthouse. But when they start to cooperate, a different kind of fire ignites. And as they work together, might Hope Harbor heal the hearts of these two romance-wary souls?

Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites readers back to their favorite town for a story that will light a beacon of hope within their hearts.


My thoughts on the book:

Ben comes back to Hope Harbor to close up his grandfather's estate. When his grandfather leaves him a lighthouse he now needs to stay to figure out what to do with it. Marci has been in Hope Harbor for two years and she loves her small town. When the landmark Lighthouse seems to be in danger of being bought and taken down. Can they come together for the greater reason for the town of Hope Harbor and the legacy of Skip or will it be to late?
I loved this book. I loved the fun characters, I mean you have "talking" seagulls," mind reading" taco man, priest, and pastor, I mean what really more can you expect but fun. I really enjoyed how the book sucks you in and you have a hard time putting the book down. The book has a small side story going on which was just as equally amazing. This book did not disappoint the characters face some tough stuff so the book is not all roses and flowers but its amazing. Seriously you can not go wrong with this book.

My thoughts on the book:
After a layoff Eric heads home for a short vacation and gets another surprise when he walks into his dads remodel could this day get any worst. He needs to plan his next career move and he's in the middle of a construction zone. But as he's faced with things and helping out his dad's architect he wonders if he knows the choices he's going to make or if he's running from something?
BJ is true to right a wrong and she knows that her plan can help a ton of people and knows that it just has to work, but when faced with some kick back she wonders if she failing the people of Hope Harbor. Will BJ be able to protect her heart and those close to her or will she be at risk again of loosing it all when she is thrown together with Eric to help with Helping Hands? 

There are two main chapters in this book and 2 sub characters each play an important part to the story and have an equal part in the book, its not hard to keep up with who or what is going on so that really nice. Each character seems to be running from something that has happened huge in their past and the struggle is very hard. The storyline is well written and is easy to enjoy the characters. I think in both the first book and this one Charley is my favorite and I am not sure if the author is trying but in my eyes he's and angel and seems like such a sweet man. I really enjoyed Hope Harbor and the togetherness the community offers. 
 The only downside I found was it felt like the book dragged a little in some places. Over all this is a good clean romance and completely an enjoyable read.

Hope Harbor, Irene Hannon

What's the book about:
Tracy Campbell never wanted to leave Hope Harbor, Oregon, or the idyllic three-generation cranberry farm where she grew up. But life–and love–altered her plans.

When tragedy strikes and changes her plans yet again, she finds herself back in her hometown with a floundering farm to run and a heartbreaking secret. Romance is not on her agenda. Nor is it on Michael Hunter’s. The visitor from Chicago has daunting secrets of his own. But when Tracy recruits him to help save a struggling charitable organization, the winds of change begin to sweep through Hope Harbor, bringing healing, hope, and love to countless lives–including their own.

My thoughts on the book:

Tracy Campbell is home in Hope Harbor she's hard at work on her family cranberry farm and working hard at saving it. She has experienced a lot of loss in her life and at this point her only focus is getting and keeping the farm in black and maybe she can let go of the guilt and regret she has lived with for the last two years. Michael has just come to Hope Harbor to visit and in hopes of finding answers he also needs to find forgiveness and hopes that the town of Hope Harbor will live up to its name and bring him Hope. When Tracy comes crashing into his life he knows it just one more he needs to correct but he needs to figure out how he can do that and still find the hope he is seeking.  Ann is a recluse and has been for some time and when she find Micheal on the street corner she knows she needs to help him and she's completely drawn to him for only one reason will she be able to keep her reclusive lifestyle and help him? Will all three find the forgiveness they are seeking or will it be to late?
I really enjoyed this book 100%. The book has three main characters and the author did an amazing job tying them all together in the storyline, it was easy to keep up with and was completely enjoyable book. Each character is dealing with forgiveness and weather forgiving themselves or forgiving someone else they struggle with the guilt. The characters were very relatable and I found it easy to fall in love with them and they felt more like catching up with a friend the reading a book about fictional characters. You really can not go wrong with this book so amazing.
