Harbor Pointe by Irene Hannon

 

Harbor Pointe by Irene Hannon is the twelfth book in her Hope Harbor series. I love this series. I enjoy meeting the new characters in each new book. Then, I especially enjoy seeing the taco seller, Charlie, in every book as he dispenses wisdom with his tacos.

Devyn Lee is a principal dancer with a prestigious New York ballet company. She returns home to Hope Harbor when her sister, Lauren, has a serious health issue and needs assistance. Devyn and her sister also have a rift to mend. Can they mend it?

Aaron Steele is a widowed mill worker who lives in Hope Harbor with his nine-year-old daughter and his father. Together, they work to heal from their losses and make life happier for Aaron's daughter, Isabel. 

In Harbor Pointe, there is another couple that is working on healing. Martin and Diane. They are secondary characters but they also add to the story in a good way. 

Devyn and Aaron work together for a fundraising show for charity. It is fun getting to know them both and watch their developing relationship. There are some other characters with relationship issues that are also fun to follow. Harbor Pointe is full of stories of mercy and redemption. I enjoyed seeing them all work out. I also like how the pastor and the priest banter in this book and are friends. Then there is Charlie, the taco seller and artist, who dispenses wisdom with the tacos. I enjoy his appearances in all of the books in this series. The other thing I enjoy about these books is that they just feel like people doing life in their small town. The stories seem real and the faith comes through without being contrived.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...

I was thrilled to be part of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Books this year. . I am a members of Circle 17. . .a group of 5 sisters who committed to reading Lisa Wingate's book, The Story Keeper, and sharing our thoughts with one another. . .a traveling book group. I loved this idea and was truly tickled to get to read an advance copy and partake in all of the fun. I also received a pretty notebook from the sister before me to keep my stories in. First of all, I need to share that this year God has had a running theme in my life that "my story matters." It has shown up in my art journal class, in an on-line Bible study, I received a "Your Story Matters" necklace for Mother's Day from my hubby who is my greatest encourager and then I received my chance to read, The Story Keeper. I know it is no co-incidence. Jen Gibbs is an newly hired editor at Vida House publishing in New York. She has worked in the industry 10 years and Jen knows the ropes and has ...

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...
