Hope Harbor police chief Lexie Graham has plenty on her
plate raising her son alone and dealing with a sudden rash of petty theft and
vandalism in her coastal Oregon hometown. As a result, she has zero time for
extracurricular activities--including romance. Ex-con Adam Stone isn't looking
for love either--but how ironic is it that the first woman to catch his eye is
a police chief? Yet wishing for things that can never be is foolish.
Nevertheless, when Lexie enlists Adam's help to keep a young man from falling into a life of crime, sparks begin to fly. And as they work together, it soon becomes apparent that God may have a different--and better--future planned for them than either could imagine.

My Thoughts:
Irene Hannon's Sandpiper
Cove is an interesting story about second chances. Filled with a familiar
setting and hurting characters, this novel made me pay attention. From the
first chapter when I met Adam Stone, I felt empathy for his plight. As an
ex-con, I bet it is pretty hard to return to normal society. But Lexis, the
town sheriff, see's past all that and uses his knowledge of crime life to help
a teenager before he becomes a criminal. I really enjoyed the pace of the
novel. It moved pretty rapidly. There were no moments where I wanted to put the
novel down. As for the romance, it flowed naturally. I liked seeing Lexie and
Adam fall in love. Again, the setting of Hope Harbor is idealic and soothing. A
nice break from the hustle of city life, not like I live in the city, but
anyways. I enjoy Hannon's contemporary romances, and I'm glad to know there is
more Hope Haven novels coming. Fans of Becky Wade, Melissa Tagg, and Denise
Hunter would love these books.
I received a complimentary copy of Sandpiper Cove by Irene Hannon from Revell Publishing, and the
opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
What draws you to a contemporary romance novel? For me,
depends on the author, but like in Sandpiper
Cove, I love the transformation part of the story. What about you?
