My review:
Beach Haven is my first book by T. I. Lowe. I started listening to the audio, but after the eighth chapter I switched to reading the book.
I had a hard time getting into this book. I felt like it dragged. I don't know if it's because I started on audio or what, but there was a disconnect for me.
Spunky, well-written characters, a solid story line, and a beautiful setting are what kept me reading. I just don't know what else to say 🤷
I will read other books by this author as I have heard fantastic things about her books.
★★★/5

Synopsis:
Free-spirited Opal
Gilbert seems to have everything she needs to keep living a happy life
in Sunset Cove as she refurbishes vintage furniture to sell at her funky
ocean-side boutique, Bless This Mess. Until Lincoln Cole, a new-to-town
ex-Marine nursing deep wounds and harboring hurts he can't seem to
shake, wanders into her shop. Opal knows a person in need when she sees
one and offers Lincoln a job in her workshop. But the brooding former
soldier has no interest in Opal's offer. Thanks but no thanks.
But
then a hurricane strikes, damaging Bless This Mess. Feeling guilty for
how he treated Opal, Lincoln decides to help her repair the store. And
soon it becomes clear Opal wants to restore not only her business, but
also help Lincoln find restoration. As much as Lincoln tries to keep her
at arm's length, Opal's well-meaning meddling begins to heal his wounds
. . . and capture his heart almost before he realizes it.
