Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within

After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life—except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.
Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage.
But when Noah finds himself sucked into Bren's quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?
Come home to Hope Harbor—where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

      Upon his arrival in Hope Harbor, OR, buttoned-up Noah Ward's first impression of rainbow-haired Bren Ryan is that she is not someone he wants to get to know better. But when Bren decides to befriend Emma Blair and offers her a space on the couch in Noah's father's guest cottage, where she's living, Noah's radar is on high alert. Who does that? Good Samaritan or not, he's sure Bren will be taken advantage of by Emma, although Noah eventually decides that maybe there's more to Bren than meets the eye. He has his future mapped out, however, and getting involved with Bren is not part of the plan, especially since she has no interest in moving away from Hope Harbor. Sparks fly every time they are together, complicating a future they both thought was set in stone. Together they plan a long-distance test: if, in six weeks, they still feel the spark, then maybe a long-distance relationship will work. Time will tell if absence truly makes the heart grow fonder. VERDICT Hannon's idyllic Oregon community comes together again in a tale of love and sweet beginnings. Readers won't want to miss this next installment in the "Hope Harbor" series, after Sandcastle Inn.--Jane Blue

      Barista Bren Ryan is having a bummer of a thirtieth birthday. First, her rental house in Hope Harbor catches fire. Then, after she finds refuge in the guest house of a customer, Fred, she pepper-sprays an intruder. The intruder turns out to be Fred's son, Noah, in town to check in on his father, who he worries is lonely since the death of Noah's mother. The two couldn't be more different. Noah is a workaholic CPA, Bren works part-time at a coffee shop. Noah wears creased slacks, Bren has purple hair. And yet, they can't deny their attraction. But Noah is planning to go back to his job in St. Louis, while Bren can't imagine leaving Hope Harbor. They are refreshingly adult about the situation, talking honestly about their feelings while being realistic about the obstacles. There's also a subplot featuring 18-year-old Emma, who arrives in town looking for a fresh start. Hannon's latest in the Hope Harbor series (after Sandcastle Inn, 2024) is a gentle romance about churchgoing folks finding home, an appealingly sweet story.

      Hannon returns to small-town coastal Oregon with this sweet entry in her Hope Harbor series (after Sandcastle Inn). After a fire damages her house and leaves her temporarily homeless, barista Bren Ryan moves into neighbor Fred Ward’s cottage while she gets back on her feet. She isn’t expecting Fred’s straitlaced accountant son, Noah, to drop by unannounced—which is why she pepper sprays him, getting their relationship off to a rough start. As Bren tries to pick up the pieces of her life, leaning on her church community for support, ambitious Noah tries to convince his aging father to move in with him in St. Louis. After Fred breaks his arm and the town bands together to help him recover, Noah begins to appreciate the value of community, making his lonely city condo and high-pressure job less and less appealing—especially as sparks begin to fly with Bren. The tender romance between the small-town girl and big-city boy charms as the pair discover they’re more alike than they realize. Readers will be delighted.
