Unexpected Depths
Holly Miller is a first-grade teacher who volunteers at church and is staunchly pro-life. (So she's both anti-abortion and anti-capital punishment . . . which makes sense to me). Steven Roark is a ex-Army sniper who now runs a fishing charter business. He moved to Hope Harbor to watch out for his brother, a budding alcoholic. \\n\\nYes, Starfish Pier is a romance. But it also has some of the bigger issues that are more often dealt with in women's fiction. Patrick resents his high-achieving big brother, and there are definite elements of the Prodigal Son about the story in his actions. But Steven isn't the self-righteous big brother he could be. He's a man with his own history, a history he's not entirely comfortable with. \\n\\nThen there's Holly. She's mentally and spiritually strong, but has a history of medical problems she's trying to overcome. I admired that about her. She wasn't prepared to let her (real) issues get in the way more than necessary. Instead, she was willing to share herself and her history, and make a difference where it mattered. \\n\\nOverall, Starfish Pier is an intelligent and timely look at modern issues through a Christian lens that shows but never preaches. Recommended for romance and women's fiction readers. \\n\\nThanks to Revell and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

Hope & Grace
I've loved the Hope Harbor Series and the Characters that tell about life's struggles, doubts, fears and passions. It was great to read Starfish Pier and see how Steven Roark an ex Delta Force member and Holly Miller a primary school teacher who's strongly pro-life find their way to acceptance of each other and allow attraction to develop. \\nCharlie and his seagull friends make some fun appearances and it's nice to also catch up on other characters from previous stories from this now 6 book series. You'll enjoy the pages of any one of Irene Hannon's Hope Arbor books.

Another wonderful Hope Habor story
This was another wonderful Hope Harbor story from Irene Hannon, really enjoyed it! Great to visit the charming town again, encouraging romance filled with faith and lots of hope too. As it is number 6 in the series was fantastic to see some of the previous characters within the pages, fans of Irene will enjoy this for sure, but could also be read as a stand alone book.
