I have read several books by this author and books in The Off Season series. I enjoy hearing about previous characters in these books but each one can be read as a stand alone.

This story features long time friends Evan and Cassie; along with new characters Avery and Oliver. It has some drama, clean romance and small town feel.

Addictions and alcohol are a major subjects in the story which I personally have a hard time reading about, but personal feelings aside; I still enjoyed this book and characters. Can’t wait to keep reading more from this series.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Safe harbor and new beginnings await on the Chesapeake Bay…

Pleasant Shores cop Evan Stone has worked hard to become a man of his word, overcoming the alcoholism that sent him down the wrong path in his youth. So when his late best friend’s sister asks for his help, he doesn’t hesitate. He promised he’d watch out for Cassie, and the cottage next to his will be a perfect short-term refuge for her and her dog. The other half of that promise—to stay away from Cassie romantically—is harder to keep.

Sheltered for years because of a childhood illness, Cassie is ready to reach for what she wants. And despite her family’s warnings and her own fears, Cassie’s heart wants Evan. As the return of his estranged son puts his sobriety to the test, Cassie and Evan are drawn together, finding strength through what they’ve each weathered. She knows Evan would risk anything to protect her, but are they willing to risk the price of loving, now and forever?

I have read all 8 of the Hope Harbor novels in this clean Christian fiction romance series. I feel like each book keeps getting better and better!

Although Christi and Jack have an unfortunate ending to their relationship many years ago;, they are later reunited in Hope Harbor. Both are reluctant to believe the other person has changed and are hesitant to pursue a friendship.

I loved reading how the characters grew during this story, especially Christie as she gets to know the community and gets a second chance in life. Of course Charley, his taco truck, and the seagulls are mentioned throughout the story. He is one of my favorite characters in this series!

This sweet family story includes themes like Love, forgiveness, second chances, grief and patience. Highly recommend!!!! I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

I have read the other “US Marshals” books in this clean, romantic suspense series and have enjoyed all of them! I am sad to see this series end with this book.

Fast paced, thrilling characters and story line that kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing. I liked reading Jonas and Madison’s friendship and then relationship, develop over the course of this series and them solving cases together. I feel like they worked well together with trusting the other’s skills and instincts. I can’t say enough good things about this author and series. If you enjoy Christian suspense with lots of action, then check her out!
