My Review:

Welcome back to Hope Harbor. I have read quite a few of the books in this series and have enjoyed them all. They can be read as stand-alone novels, but do have some repeat characters in each book.

Sea Glass Cottage focuses on Christi and Jack. There is also a pretty heavy thread with Steve and Beth. Both are second chance romances. The story flows smoothly and is a quick read.

There are some surprises in the story, but other parts toward the end are predictable.

I have mixed feelings about this book and am not sure what to say. I think it is my least favorite of all the Hope Harbor books that I have read. In some ways, I felt like there were no new ideas presented, but in other ways, I felt that some of our favorite repeat characters had changed. Charley seemed to be in more places than he had in previous books, and more serious. I also felt there were too many coincidences. 

I am glad I read it and will continue to read more (expected 3 more) in this series.

Thank you to Net Galley and Revell for the opportunity to read Sea Glass Cottage. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

★★★/5

Synopsis (from Goodreads): 

Christi Reece is desperate. The one-time golden girl's life has tarnished, and a cascade of setbacks has left her reeling. She needs help, and she's certain Jack Colby is in a position to provide it.

When she shows up in Hope Harbor, however, Jack wants nothing to do with the woman who betrayed him. He's built a new life on the Oregon coast--and there's no room in it for Christi, even after she takes refuge in a charming but mysterious cottage nearby. Yet it soon becomes apparent his opinion of her may need revising . . . especially when he ends up needing her help.

Can these two hurting souls make peace with their past and open their hearts to a new beginning?

Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.
