The Book

When life throws you off pointe, love helps you find your balance.

As a principal dancer with a prestigious New York ballet company, Devyn Lee is far from her hometown of Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast. But when a family emergency compels her to return, her visit turns into an extended stay after complications arise.

Widowed mill worker Aaron Steele pays no attention to the buzz in Hope Harbor about the famous dancer in town. Until his grieving nine-year-old daughter takes a fancy to Devyn after she agrees to help with a fundraising show for a local charity in which the young girl is performing. As the show--and Devyn--begin to lift his daughter's spirits, his own life is brightened by the beautiful ballerina as she slowly but surely captures his heart.

But what are the odds that such an accomplished, polished woman from the city could ever fall for a small-town lumberman with two left feet?

Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

Book Review

After twelve books, there is something about picking up the newest book in the Hope Harbor series that truly does feel like coming home. Having read most of the books in the series already, I love each visit back and the chance to see some familiar people and places- including, of course, everyone's favorite taco-making artist! There's just something really special about this series that I personally cannot help but love. But even if you've never read any of the previous books, don't let that scare you away... this story can truly be enjoyed just the same. Devyn and Aaron drew me into their lives right away. They both had some healing to do- her from complicated family dynamics and him after the loss of his wife, and I enjoyed seeing that healing happen for both throughout this story. As much as I loved their romance, which did take center stage... there's also a secondary second chance romance as well, which added even more depth to the book, making me enjoy it all that much more. Whether it is your first visit to Hope Harbor or your twelfth, this is certainly one that fans of Christian small-town romance are going to want to check out.
