Hope Harbor (#01 in Hope Harbor Series)

A good story about growth and change for several characters. Romance for some, growing up for others, cracking a hard shell for yet others. Gently reminds us we all need grace, mercy and hope! Hope Harbor is the sort of town we'd all love to go to for summer holidays . . .

I've heard that Irene Hannon writes great mystery suspense books. In Hope Harbor, I've discovered that she also writes great Christian romance novels - definitely worth reading. The characters are very human, the small-town setting is idyllic, and it all seems very real. Real people struggle with the sorts of issues the main characters, Michael and Tracy, are facing, along with other characters in the town. People like Anne, who I loved watching come out of her shell. They had all been hurt and had all made mistakes in their pasts, but we get to see God working in each of their lives, through those around them, to bring healing, forgiveness and love. I'll certainly be looking out for more from this author.

A wonderful story of healing and hope for several characters in the story. I like how this story is not just focused on two main characters as a romance story, but has other characters that you learn about throughout the story who also find healing and hope. A really enjoyable read that keeps you turning the pages all the way. Highly recommended.

Hope Harbor by Irene Hannon is exactly that a story of lives mended, family saved and strengthened, friendships restored, relationships healed and new love found! Hope, such a vital part of each of these aspects of human interaction. \\r\\nYou'll enjoy Anna as a integral side character and find Charley a bit cheeky while wise. \\r\\nTracy Campbell is dedicated, caring and hurting. Michael Hunter is a true Gentleman and burned out from loss and life. \\r\\nWatch how God weaves the needs of these characters into a wonderful picture of community and restored living!\\r\\nI really, really enjoyed this story. I hope you will too.
