This story mostly focuses on Maddie, the middle sister, but also includes Cam and Blaine throughout the book so readers can continue to keep up their lives since book 1.

I liked that the chapters included the perspectives of not only the 3 girls but also their dad Paul so we could get different points of views and outlooks. We also got to read flashbacks of Maddie’s childhood and her interactions with current town minister Rick.

I loved reading about the small town and characters and how all three girls were trying to improve and move forward with their different life goals and paths. The author made the town and island so descriptive and fun, I felt like I was right there along side them.

Great clean christian fiction book with interesting characters and stories. Highly recommend this book and series!

Standoff (Natchez Trace Park Rangers Book #1) by Patricia Bradley

Great start to a brand new series!

I loved the main characters Luke and Brooke and how their past friendship made it easier for them to work together to figure out the deaths in their town. Lots of steady action and suspense from beginning to end which kept my interest and had me reading this book in one day because I didn’t want to stop. Can’t wait to read more in this Park Ranger series. Highly recommend!

“Starfish Pier” (A Hope Harbor Novel Book #6) by Irene Hannon

I think I have read every “Hope Harbor” book in this series and have loved every one!

I love the small town, the 2 town ministers, the seagulls and Charley the fish food truck man. Although every story is different with different main characters, they all take place in Hope Harbor and all mention some of the regular townspeople.

I enjoyed getting to know Steven, Holly, Patrick, Cindy and Pete. The story is lighthearted and easy to read but also deals with some heavy subjects like addiction, war, abortion, and suicide. The characters all have their different struggles like past guilt, medical issues, forgiveness, judgment… but they all use prayer, God’s love and serving others as their way to heal.

Touching characters, great stories…loved reading it from beginning to end! I highly recommend this book and this series. Each book can be read in order or as stand alone novels.

About the Book:
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 Review: 

This was another fun “Northern Lights” Alaska novel. Great characters, fun story line… I loved Lauren and her courage and determination to get her goat farm and to help Gramma Bonnie. I never realized raising goats was that challenging (or funny!) I liked reading about the friendship and blossoming relationship of Lauren and Patrick.

I have really enjoyed reading these stories set in Alaska. The remoteness and beautiful land jumps from the pages and makes me wish I could visit.

Highly recommend this series of books! They can be read in order or as stand alone stories.
