Hope Harbor Book 2

Irene Hannon

Eric has lost his job due to corporate downsizing. Thanks to his push for partner in the large law firm he knows he won't have any trouble getting another job. But he decides to head home to Hope Harbor to take a small vacation before he rejoins the rat race of 60 hour weeks and no time for anything except law. What he doesn't expect is to rear end a pick up truck driven by a beautiful woman before he even makes it home to his dad's house. And to his chagrin he finds out the woman is BJ, the architect redoing his dad's house. Both BJ and Eric come from fast-paced work environments in large cities. But BJ has chosen to make Hope Harbor her home and leave the crazy work schedule behind. Eric has no intention of staying, but when he joins BJ on a mission of hope for the citizens of Hope Harbor he realizes there is more to life than law.

I loved this book. It contains the author's great writing style, but takes a completely different plot line than her typical books. The setting is picturesque and the writing draws the reader in. The characters are full of life, quirky, and lovable. It has the feel of a small town novel, mixed liberally with faith, family, and life. While this is the second book in the series, I definitely feel like it could be read as a stand-alone. I fell in love with the author's writing when I read her suspense novels, but I must say that I love these books just as much. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I received this book free of charge from Revell Reads in exchange for my honest review.
