“The Sandcastle Inn” by Irene Hannon, book review
“Sandcastle Inn” A Hope Harbor Novel (#10) by Irene Hannon, book review
When Vienna lost her job, she quickly planned a trip to visit her mom. But that short visit, turned into a longer visit, when she lands a volunteer job helping Kay rebrand her newly acquired B&B. Since hotel refab is her job, this short gig made it easy for her to help out a friend, while getting her resume rebuilt.
Matt’s trip to Oregon was supposed to be a time of rest and relaxation while his sister helped a friend following surgery. Running a B&B in Hope Harbor should be easy compared to his current job as a full time vet. But when he arrives and finds the B&B in quite terrible shape, his plans change.
Together, Matt and Vienna tackle the job of rehabing the B&B, so Kay can come home and make a living with the place. But through the tasks needed to rehab, they both heal from past hurts, and explore new beginnings. In addition, they meet friends who help them in various ways.
This is the 10th book in the Hope Harbor series, and several of the characters we met in previous books make appearances, but just short ones almost added in passing. This is a sweet story of hope and healing that comes from letting others carry the heavy burden, and receiving forgiveness from God and others.
I enjoyed the book, it was an easy read. I have read several, but not all, of the Hope Harbor series, and it was easy to pick up with the story and characters.
