Blackberry Beach ~ Review

Blackberry Beach

Hope Harbor #7

By Irene Hannon

Kat is hiding, she's about to get the breakthrough that will make her career everything she's ever dreamed about. There is just one problem she's no longer sure that she wants it all. Success yes but the stress and expectations not too great especially when she gets caught up in rumors and scandal. She needs to determine just what she wants and what she is willing to give up to get it. Hope Harbor may give her the chance she needs to determine her future.

Zach Garrett is intrigued by the mystery woman who has entered his coffee shop. She's his newest neighbor and even though she tries to deny it there is a connection between them. Zach knows just where Kat is coming from having once been on the career fast-track to success.  

Blackberry Beach is a clean-read and the reader finds themself in Hope Habor, Oregon, either reacquainting themselves with the fine folk who call the area home or meeting them for the first time. It is always a treat whenever Charley or Floyd and Gladys are in a scene. Charley always has a bit of wisdom to share, who wouldn't want a Charley Lopez in their life ready with a listening ear or a word of encouragement. I think what I like best about the Hope Harbor books is that though they are all in a series they are a complete story in and of themselves. This book, like the others in the series, is about second chances at living the life we are meant to live, of finding love, and reconciling with family. Get ready to head to the beach with Blackberry Beach and sit back and sit a spell.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

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 he 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 discover 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.
