About the Book
Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within . . .
After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.🌊⛵🐳🐠🐬🌅❤️🌊⛵🐳🐠🐬🌅❤️🌊
EXCERPT:
Before he could finish that thought, something wet hit him in the face.
In the next instant, the fires of hell rained down on him, burning his eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.
He dropped his overnight bag as his eyes slammed shut. His seared lungs balked, and he started to hack. Hard. Snot dripped from his nose.
Chest heaving, he fell to his knees as waves of pain crashed over him.
If someone was trying to kill him, they were doing a first-rate job of it.
Splaying the fingers of one hand on the floor, he groped in his pocket for his handkerchief. He had to wipe away whatever was singeing his eyeballs. ASAP.
The instant his fumbling fingers closed over the square of cloth, he yanked it out and tried to swab off whatever toxic substance was wreaking havoc.
Didn’t work.
In fact, his eyes might hurt worse—if that was even possible.
“Help . . . me.” The hoarse, croaked plea came out in a voice that didn’t sound anywhere close to his usual baritone.
No response.
Whoever had done this to him must have a heart of stone.
Or else they’d hightailed it out of here after rendering him defenseless.
What kind of scumbag would attack an innocent man and—
Wait.
Was it possible Dad had started renting the cottage again and hadn’t told him? Had he walked in on paying guests who’d assumed he was an intruder and doused him with pepper spray?
Oh, geez.
This day was going from bad to worse.

An enjoyable read featuring wonderful characters and a lovely setting . . .
The meet-up for the two main characters (in Chapter 2) is one of the most unique I've ever read—and I've read a lot of Christian romances over the past couple of decades!
Coffee barista, Bren Ryan, is having a really bad thirtieth birthday. Her rental catches on fire due to electrical issues in the morning, and then after dark she has a scary encounter with someone she doesn't know entering the cottage where she is staying temporarily.
The stranger is Noah Ward, the son of the cottage's owner. He is the complete opposite of Bren in almost every sense of the word, so their feathers are ruffled frequently causing both individuals to question why they were thrown together at this time.
As they work through their initial problems and learn to see the other as a friend rather than a foe, the story becomes very interesting. Their relationship grows and becomes more personal and more positive.
As always, the small Oregon coastal town of Hope Harbor has no shortage of great characters and side plots that provide readers with engaging scenes and great dialogue to enjoy.
This book is completely clean in language and content. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.
