My Review:

Genre: Romance, a little suspense/mystery.

My Rating: 4 stars.

My Recommendation: 16 up for romance.

My favorite character/s: Logan, I love how he's so kind and loving even when he's eh, ignored or rather pushed away. I did feel bad that he almost lost people he cared about!

My Verse for Logan is Luke 6:31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (King James Version.)

My Thoughts: Aw, this story was so sweet! I loved the whole move from the city to a little town and everything. This is my first read by Irene Hannon and I must say I was hooked with the first page. I will be sure to try another book from the author and you should too!

Warnings: None.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review and am truly happy to provide it! ( )

Travel, once again, to the Oregon coast (and perhaps enjoy the thought of Charlie’s fish tacos) in the latest addition to Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor series, Driftwood Bay. In the delightful small-town community, second chances, faith, and hope blend for a heartwarming story—with a generous helping of romance, too.

Jeannette Mason, still reeling in the wake of a tragedy, only wants to get her life back on track and in the meantime, keep anyone from getting too close. Logan West has his own grief to handle with his niece and nuisance of a dog. Still, though they may not have been searching for a connection, a connection finds them anyway—with the help of a recently-relocated Syrian family.

The story on the pages of Driftwood Bay encompasses all the emotions. Dealing with grief, loss, and seeing God work in the midst of it all makes it an incredibly poignant read, and I enjoyed it. It’s another Hope Harbor novel that proves easy to recommend to contemporary readers.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

I really enjoy reading Irene Hannon. This book was no exception. It would be enjoyable if she would take the characters into another book and show us how it went with their relationship and how they work through the issues they have begun to overcome in this book. ( )

Author Irene Hannan is known in the Christian market for her suspense novels. In her newest series, Hope Harbor, she departs from suspense to more of At Home in Mitford pace. Her book, Driftwood Bay, introduces new characters in the small town of Hope Harbor, Oregon. Jeanette is a single woman, perfectly happy with her quiet life of growing Lavender and running a tea shop. Her peace and quiet is interrupted by a new neighbor, his niece, and his unruly dog. As she slowly opens up to new friends, Jeanette finds she was missing out on happiness all along.

I liked the book. It is an easy read for a quiet, rainy afternoon. Hannon is very descriptive of the beach near Jeanette's house. I could envision myself there. I also enjoyed the side plot involving a refugee family from Syria. ( )
