Publisher's summary

Katherine Parker is on the cusp of having everything she ever wanted - fame, money, and acclaim. So why isn't she happy? In search of answers, she comes incognito to Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast for some R&R. Maybe in her secluded rental house overlooking the serene Pacific she'll be able to calm the storm inside.

Coffee shop owner Zach Garrett has found his niche after a traumatic loss - and he has no plans to change the life he's created. Nor does he want to get involved with his reticent new neighbor, whose past is shrouded in mystery. He's had enough drama to last a lifetime. But when Katherine and Zach are recruited to help rehab a home for foster children, sparks fly. And as their lives begin to intersect, might they find more common ground than they expected...and discover that, with love, all things are possible?

Best-selling and award-winning author Irene Hannon invites you to come home to Hope Harbor - where hearts heal...and love blooms.

A romance for everyone!

Although the plot was very predictable, the story had a few plot turns and the characters were well developed. It's certainly a book you can recommend to anyone including your grandmother - there is no cursing, no steamy sex scenes and no innuendo. The narration was excellent and well paced. All in all a pleasant, uplifting and well-written story at a time we all could use one!

Great light-hearted story

I loved that this book felt more light-hearted than some of the others in the series. Hope Harbor fans will love that Charlie has a larger role in this story. I was laughing out loud at the scene with the agent and the seagulls. That might be the best moment in the entire series! It was refreshing that we got to go with Zach when he traveled to visit his father and hear those details.

Keep them coming!!

I’m always so excited when there’s a new Hope Harbor novel. And Therese Plummer could read a phone book and I’d be enthralled. A perfect duo!

Very enjoyable listen

Good story and presentation. I am a Therese Plummer fan and now a Irene Hannon fan as well. I almost listened straight through. I will probably listen again so I am giving this a full 5 stars.

Hope Harbor Never Disappoints!

I’m a huge fan of Hannon’s writing, and her Hope Harbor novels never fail to touch me in a way that no other books have...and I’m an AVID reader. Hannon masterfully weaves elements of faith, family, real-world struggles, humor, human frailties, and romance into these books that exude such heartwarming charm. Blackberry Beach is excellent and I’m sure I’ll enjoy this again and again. As always, the superb narration of Therese Plummer creates a truly magical experience. I HIGHLY recommend!

HEART WARMING STORY!!!

There's not a book in this series that I dislike. Listening to a story by the duo of Irene Hannon/Therese Plummer is like coming home. I hope there are many more future releases.

JUST what I needed!!

When I searched for a heartwarming story, Irene Hannon was my first choice, and seeing Therese Plummer narrating was a big plus. I made the right choice. Please continue sharing wholesome, well rounded characters like these -and the varied age groups greatly enhance the storyline.
