Welcome Back to Rock Harbor
First off, I want to thank Thomas Nelson and Colleen Coble for taking us back to Rock Harbor with Bree, Samson, and the rest of the family. I love this series and thoroughly enjoyed this installment.
Christmas is coming and although Bree and Kade are preparing for family to arrive their hearts are heavy. Bree like many women is struggling with infertility, which is weighing heavily on her heart as well as KadeâÂÂs. Things become more stressful when Lauri arrives home two weeks ahead of schedule and is being evasive on the reason why.
Even in this short novel Colleen Coble draws the reader quickly into the story. The mystery behind the LauriâÂÂs behavior and her relationship with a young man killed in a parachuting accident will keep you guessing. ItâÂÂs a feel good Christmas story.
As a fan of the Rock Harbor series and many of Colleen CobleâÂÂs other books the timeline of this one bugged me at first. But I quickly got over it and enjoyed the series. I hope we get the opportunity to see Bree, Kade, Samson and the rest of the family in future books.
IâÂÂd recommend this for anyone looking for a quick and touching Christmas story. I tend to enjoy reading a series in order but this would be a great introduction to Rock Harbor series.

Silent Night" by Colleen Coble is an epilogue of sorts to CobleâÂÂs "Rock Harbor Mysteries Series." I havenâÂÂt yet read that series, but recognized the main characters, Bree and Samson, from their appearance in "Tidewater Inn," the first book in CobleâÂÂs new series. Though I havenâÂÂt read the Rock Harbor series, this novella was a complete story all by itself. I never once felt lost, and, in the few cases when Coble referred to previous stories, she didnâÂÂt seem to give anything significant away. IâÂÂll definitely want to go back and read those books someday.
In this very short story, BreeâÂÂs sister-in-law comes to visit a few weeks after a young woman goes missing and is presumed to be dead. On the day of LaurieâÂÂs arrival, a young man is killed in a parachute accident. While attempting search and rescue, Bree finds Laurie in the woods. As the investigation into the young manâÂÂs death reveals a connection to the missing woman, Bree becomes concerned about LaurieâÂÂs part in the two events.
I enjoyed reading this story, meeting BreeâÂÂs family and friends, and learning the truth about Laurie. If youâÂÂve read the Rock Harbor series, youâÂÂll want to read this novella to see whatâÂÂs next for Samson and Bree. If you havenâÂÂt read the series, you still may enjoy this story. I most definitely did.
I thank Thomas Nelson Publishers for sending a complimentary eCopy for this honest review.
