Coral Cove is the ideal place to begin anew with a quaint town, a beautiful ocean coastline, and amazing townsfolks. This is exactly what romantic author, Maya Reynolds, needs after her broken engagement and loss of her dear great-aunt. Suffering from writers block and lacking inspiration, I was happy to see that Ashlyn decided to keep the toy store in town going. That seems like it would be so much fun!

The story was made complete and heartwarming with the sweet, adorable, Ashlyn and her amazing dad, local veterinarian, Brody Tanner. Both Maya and Brody are afraid of taking a chance and getting hurt, but taking small steps and trusting one another has a way of breaking down walls. I enjoyed reading their story because they deserved happiness.

I recommend reading this book if you like Christian romance stories. It in encouraging and uplifting. I was given an advanced electronic copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review; all opinions are my own.

Every book by Amy Clipston just gets better and better! Wholesome romance that grips your heart. The characters are relatable and genuine. The setting is sublime-the beach, my favorite! I felt as if the characters were friends of mine and I was experiencing life's twists and turns with them.

Maya, a romance writer, has just had her heart broken by a fiance that called it quits and the death of her Aunt CeCe. She decides to move to Coral Cove and take over her aunts toy store. There she meets two people who will change her life. Veterinarian, Brody and his daugher Ashlyn who run an adoption agency for pets. Ashlyn talks Maya into adopting a kitten and inspires Maya to expand her store by offering princess tea parties. Brody and Maya grow close but they are hesitant to commit. They must decide if they can give love another chance.

Anything from Amy Clipston has to be great reading. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Really enjoyed this book. It reads like a Hallmark movie. Amy Clipston is a talented writer.

There is not one single reference in this story to anything remotely connected to faith, outside Maya saying she had lost faith in love of the human kind.

Furthermore, Brody is a wimp if a guy, let alone the lead in any story.

How is this book inspirational. How is this book a work of Christian fiction.

DISAPPOINTING!
