I want to go to Hope Harbor!! I want to meet Charley, have some fish tacos, and just hang out. This might be my favorite Hope Harbor book, but honestly, they're all sooooo good!! I loved meeting Devyn, Lauren, Aaron, Gramp, Isabel, Lucas, Diane and Martin, too!! I could totally understand Devyn and Lauren's sister issues, and really glad that they managed to work those out. There was growth on both of their parts, and graciousness, too. Lucas, Diane, and Martin learned about forgiveness, too, and all of them (except Isabel) and to learn about letting go of the past so they could move forward into their futures. We need to learn from our pasts so we don't make the same mistakes, but we don't need to dwell there in regrets, what ifs, and what might have been. We can give it all to God and watch what He has in our futures for us. Can't wait for my next trip to Hope Harbor!!

If Hope Harbor were a real place, these books would create an unending tourist stream. It is truly a magical place where second chances and healing of relationships and past hurts take place regularly. I hope the books keep coming. The town ministers are hysterical in the way they rib each other. Charley is a fount of wisdom as well as tacos. Before this series ever ends, I hope there's more of these three as main characters of their own books.

In this book, Devyn returns home when her sister sustains a brain injury. She enjoys the break from being a principal ballet dancer in New York City and starts to question her life choices when she meets a man and his precious daughter. I liked how Lauren and Devyn opened up about their own childhood experiences after they were separated. I appreciated Diane and Martin and how they faced the harsh realities of their relationship and committed to do something about it. It's a great novel about second chances and forgiveness and stepping out past the hurt that wants to keep you down. I'd highly recommend this book.

Thank you to Revell for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Famed ballerina Devyn Lee is called back to her hometown after her sister is seriously injured, but this temporary visit may be more than she bargained for. After years of estrangement, will she be able to repair her strained relationship with her sister Lauren? Devyn also encounters a hunky mill worker, and the saying "opposites attract" has never been truer! They may inhabit different worlds, but who wouldn't love a widower dedicated to caring for his grieving little girl and his aging grandfather? I loved the amazing chemistry between Devyn and Aaron, their reluctance and denial, and eventually, their acceptance of fate. Or should I say, God's Plan, with a little help from a charming matchmaker named Gramps?

Going home, seeing old friends, and replenishing my faith! I feel like I experience 0this each time I read one of Irene Hannon's Hope Harbor novels, and this book is no exception. Harbor Pointe is realistic, romantic, heartwarming, and inspiring! I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian fiction, and I can't wait for a follow-up!

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my thoughts alone.

I always eagerly anticipate Irene Hannons new releases from her Hope Harbor Series. Her latest, Harbor Pointe (Book #12), certainly lives up to the hype and is a must-read! Hannon crafts a captivating story about how opposites can attract, delivering a heartfelt and compelling narrative that resonates on many levels.

Devyn Lee returns to Hope Harbor to care for her sister after an accident. Though it is the right choice, she knows challenges await. The strain on their relationship continues. Devyn has no idea how deep her sisters resentment runs. This resentment is rooted in sacrifices made so Devyn could chase her dream of joining a prestigious New York ballet company as a principal dancer. Aaron Steele, a widowed millworker with a nine-year-old daughter, knows nothing of Devyns fame until his daughter becomes enchanted by her. Curious, he decides to find out what is so special about Devyn and becomes captivated by her poise, grace, personality, wisdom, and character. Unexpectedly, Devyn begins to feel the same for him. But with her short visit to Hope Harbor, Aaron sees little hope for a future together. But, is that the end of their story??

I wholeheartedly recommend this book for its intriguing story and satisfying conclusion. You will not want to miss it!

Irene Hannon brings you back to Harbor Pointe. An amazing destination to find characters you can relate to and fall in love with. Of course, who wouldn't love Charlie from the taco stand! Somehow he just knows what advice is needed.

Devyn comes home from NYC to Harbor Pointe when her sister has a terrible accident. However, their relationship is not what you would expect from family. Their family life is not pretty and shows how they were not close. The question is are they able to overcome and understand to be sisters again?

Aaron is a mill worker, father and widower. He also is close to his grandfather, who helps take care of Aaron's daughter. His grandfather has an amazing personality, but loves his family. Aaron's daughter shows her love and caring side by wanting to help the lonely lady she keeps seeing around town. She has a lot to overcome from the death of her mother. You will get to travel through this story with them and see how they learn to cope with death and overcome feelings that Aaron tries to suppress.

Martin and Diane have their own problems as well that they need to work through. Marriage and family was a struggle for Martin when he took over the family business. Then when things got better with the business he didn't stop and ended up prideful and more shut off from the community.

An amazing story of love, hope, forgiveness, along with trying to overcome adversity. How people view others and need to be careful of judging.

It is easy to get into this book and not put it down. The characters come to life and it is interesting how people can become connected to each other in different ways. How just a simple conversation can help someone through a difficult time. Not to mention a couple of priests who are pretty humorous! This book makes you think you are right there in Harbor Pointe.

Very inspiring and inspirational! Highly recommend and it can be read as a stand alone!
