Welcome to Candle Beach, where falling in love is easy...almost.
Dahlia thought settling her aunt’s estate in the town where she’d spent every summer as a child would be easy, a one or two day job at the most. Discovering that she’s inherited a crumbling house and a failing bookstore puts a wrench in that plan.
With a nasty trustee who is determined to keep her from selling her inheritance and Garrett, a handsome neighbor who challenges her at every step, she doesn’t expect to have a future there.
However, Candle Beach grows on her, and she sees transformations in herself that she didn’t expect. With her childhood friends wanting her to stay and a developing attraction to Garrett, could Aunt Ruth’s bequest be the key to Dahlia’s happily ever after?
Join Dahlia and her friends as they find love and happiness in the small town of Candle Beach, Washington.

Family doesn’t mean everyone has to like each other. That’s the case when cousins Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja return to Shamrock, Texas, to help manage their grandmother’s flower shop, the Lucky Shamrock. The reunion isn’t exactly a beautiful arrangement—considering they’re as compatible as ranchers and coyotes. Thank heaven for a handsome go-between like Clinton, who lives above the shop.

One month earlier, Beck’s seemingly ideal existence imploded when her husband of 34 years announced he was leaving her. Now, so she has to sell her house, get a job, and somehow put her broken heart and life back together. She can’t do all that if she runs off to visit a woman she barely remembers. Or can she? Accompanied by her grown daughter who also longs for an escape, Beck heads to Coconut Key, where she’d lived the earliest years of her life.

When Eliza Whitney loses both her beloved husband and her high-powered job in the same month, she’s uncertain what the next chapter of her life will look like. At 53, she’s too young to retire and too old to start over. Then her estranged father’s widow contacts her and asks her to come to Sanibel Island to help settle his affairs. Eliza sees the trip to a place called Shellseeker Beach as a distraction from her loss and maybe a way to get some closure on the difficult relationship she'd had with her father.

It was okay but not at the top of my favorites
I liked the storyline but the dialogue, especially between Dahlia and Garret was so “clunky”. Their relationship so awkward. The narrator, although, she had a pleasant voice had no emotion and often sounded like a beginning reader.

well, not the best I've ever read, that's for sure
the narrator is really awful, no emotion in her words, story line pretty basic, maybe I really should write my own romance novel
