Another one of T.I. Lowe's beautiful pieces checked off my list! As you may know, Lowe is one of my most favorite authors and I've been working my way through all her books until I reach her newest novel, "Indigo Isle"! I may have accidentally read the Carolina Coast series out of order, with "Beach Haven" being the first in the series, however, it didn't change how much I enjoyed this read!
As usual, Lowe writes in such a way that captivates her readers until there just aren't any pages left. The story of spunky Opal and grumpy Lincoln turn hearts in this unlikely love story of restoration, redemption, and faith. I just love the way she writes her characters with so much, well...character! I'm excited to see what the next in the series has in store for Josie in "Driftwood Dreams".
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.
