This is the second book in the "Hope Harbor" series. This book can definitely be read without confusion if you haven't read the first one. Mainly you'll recognize the town on the Oregon coast and some of the characters but the story is definitely stand alone.
Eric is returning to his hometown after losing his job and is looking forward to the slower pace and the peace he's looking for. When he arrives to his childhood home, he finds that his father is converting the home into a bed and breakfast.
BJ has been living in Hope Harbor for about a year now and she, too, was seeking the slower, quieter pace. She's grown to love her new home but when Eric arrives, she doesn't really trust him. He's much too slick for her taste and she is cautious of him.
Both Eric and BJ carry hurts from their past and they are trying to regroup in their new life in this sweet town. While Eric only intends to stay long enough to restart his career, the pull of the town and of each other, changes both of them.
I love the faith in this book and how there are different levels of faith with different characters. The growth through seeing how God really cares is wonderful. Of course, I can't leave out Charley of the Taco Stand. His wise words and friendship to those around him are so wonderful and heartwarming.
I loved this book. It was such a relaxing read and the characters were complex and real. I highly recommend this book especially for a nice summer read.
