The novel does touch on the loss of loved ones, but it is so beautifully written into the story that I could not imagine it without.  The characters are so loveable and you can not help but fall in love them all. I was also excited to see that this is the first book in the Doctors of Oak Bluff series, so I am already anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

The Summer of Second Chances - Book Review

The Summer of Second Chances by Miranda Liasson

Darla, an accomplished author and cancer survivor is heading back to Seashell Harbor to tie up a few loose ends. She has just finished a teaching assignment and has accepted a permanent position in California, so she needs to sell her house, and finish a novel she is having a hard time completing. The beach will hopefully give her clarity and inspiration. She is also looking forward to seeing her two best friends. What Darla does not expect when she opens the door to her house is her ex-husband Nick. He was supposed to do a few renovations, not move in. While Darla tries to keep her focus on what she needs to do, it gets tougher and tougher with Nick being there at every turn. She starts to doubt their divorce all those years ago, and her friends are determined to remind her at every turn just how wonderful he is. Darla needs a fresh start, but maybe it is not back in California.

I thoroughly enjoyed this last novel in the Seashell Harbor series by Miranda Liasson. Darla and Nick’s story is one not to miss. It is sweet, tender and fun. I also loved catching up with the previous characters from the first two books. Thank you so much Forever Publishing for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

The Sweetheart Fix - Book Review

The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson

Juliet Montgomery is back home in Blossom Glen and loves her job as a couple's counselor. The only problem is, how can she give advice when her own love life is in shambles? When her new boss tells Juliet she needs to take a step back for a little while, Juliet is at a crossroads. By chance she is at town hall and gets involved in a meeting with the townsfolk and the mayor. When the mayor Jack Monroe sees how easily Juliet interacts with the residents, he offers her a job. Maybe Juliet can not only help herself and the mayor, but maybe she can change the opinions of the town to finally accept her as a couple's therapist.

Jack Monroe is the mayor and a country boy at heart. He took the job so he could find a way to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. His only problem is communicating effectively with the town. When Juliet shows up unexpectedly at a town meeting, Jack sees that she could be the answer to all his troubles.

This story by Miranda Liasson is so heartwarming. The characters are well written and have many facets to their lives which enhances the story line. I loved the banter between Juliet and Jack and was excited to see their story evolve. The supporting characters added a new dynamic to the story, and it was nice to see the characters from the first book as well. As this is the second book in the Blossom Glen series, I am looking forward to reading the next book already. My thanks to Entangled Publishing who gifted me a copy of the book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Miranda Liasson brings us such a sweet story of love lost and new beginnings. All the characters were very well written, and I loved getting to know Kit, Alex and especially Oliver. The struggles the characters faced were written with such depth and dimension, I was drawn right into the small town of Seashell Harbor and the people that lived there. I was gifted an advanced readers copy by Forever Publishing, so my thanks to them. My review is entirely my own. This is an awesome series my friends and a solid five star book.

Blossom Glen Book 1

She can not find a way out until one day Leo Castorini shows up at the bakery with a proposition to save not only his families restaurant, but also Tessa’s family bakery. The only problem is the Montgomery and Castorini families have had a feud for decades, and Tessa is not sure Leo’s plan will work. Can Tessa and Leo fool both families with their plan? Can they bring an end to the feuding families by forging a partnership?

What a fabulous start to the new Blossom Glen series written by Miranda Liasson. I fell in love with Tessa, Leo and their families within the first few pages of the book. The main characters are both witty, stubborn, and love their families. The supporting characters in the book add to the story in such a unique way, especially the parents and grandmother. I enjoy the small town family romances so I am excited to see whose story is next in the series. A huge thanks to Miranda Liasson and Entangled Publishing for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Coming Home To Seashell Harbor - Book Review

Coming Home to Seashell Harbor by Miranda Liasson

When Hadley returns home after a very public heartbreak looking for some time to relax and reassess her future all while in the comforting arms of her grandmother, that is the last thing she will find. What she does find is her grandmother in the hospital, thinking of retiring and selling Pooch Palace, her dog business to none other than Hadley’s high school crush, Tony aka Cam so he can close the business and build a restaurant. Hadley refuses to let that happen and is ready to battle Tony when her grandmother has an idea that will either bring them closer to together or tear the town apart.  

What a fabulous start to a new series by Miranda Liasson. I loved the characters, especially Hadley’s feisty grandmother. The story was about family, second chances, small towns, and rescue animals, all my favourite things wrapped up into one amazing story. The story flowed well, all the main and supporting characters were well written, and I can not wait for the next book in the series. Thank you so much to Forever Publishing and Miranda Liasson for an advanced copy of the book to read and review for my unbiased opinion.
