It was great to be back in Hope Harbour. This follows four people down on their luck, all arriving in Hope Harbour in need of fresh starts and new beginnings. Hope Harbour provides all that and more.

Our main characters are Vienna and Matt. Vienna has lost her job and is visiting her mum who made a fresh start in Hope Harbour several years ago. Matt is visiting his sister whilst on a break from work to help her run her inn, which turns out to be crumbling around her. Vienna and Matt team up to turn the place around, aided by Paige and Andrew a couple in desperate need of a work and a second chance.

I loved seeing how everything was woven together. This book contains storylines of healed family relationships, second chances, career changes, grief, love and finding hope again.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for a honest review.

I never pass up the opportunity to visit Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor! She has created a magical place where friends become family.
And the beautiful location is place so appealing it makes me want to visit Oregon. I enjoyed the interesting career of Vienna in this story and the back story of Matt that was not revealed until later in the story which felt like the right time. The side story of Paige and Andrew gave this book more depth with lessons in family and forgiveness. I enjoyed them. I would have liked to have seen more time given the building up of Matt and Venice’s relationship though.
And I am really hoping to maybe see a Charlie and Bev relationship down the road.
Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Vienna never thought she would be in the position that she in. She decides to visit her mom. She enjoys the quaint town and meets Matt who is helping his sister. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read her next one.

Sandcastle Inn brings us back to Hope Harbor, a town with heart offering a place for many new residents to heal. Vienna and Matt, Andrew and Paige, each with past secrets and regrets. Who doesn’t love advice from Charley as they order food at his taco truck. With some providential guidance, their paths cross and lives turn around for the better. Hope and faith lead to healing past hurts, adversity, and grief. There is forgiveness and second chances to renew relationships, bringing the healing process full circle. And I love Floyd and Gladys, two seagulls with fun-loving personalities. This is a great book with wonderful characters and well worth the read!

Hope Harbor book #10

This cute story of second chance brings warmth to the heart. Good people doing wonderful things to other without asking anything back. “Sandcastle Inn” will show us how this is possible.

Vienna Price returns for a passing visit home to Oregon after her career tanks she is there to nurse her wounds and chart a new course for the future. Matt Quinn on vacation takes a trip to Oregon to help his sister who has recently bought a dilapidated inn. Vienna and Matt cross path and luck is on his side, Vienna has just the skills to help him resuscitate the B&B....and find all the help they needed....and slowly they fall for each other....awe....

I enjoyed this fiction and how the characters matched so well. The atmosphere created is wonderful I wish this town wasn’t fictional I would like to meet the residents, of course these people are to idyllic to be real but one can dream. Through the pages we discover Matt’s tragic past and Vienna skills and how resourceful she is. The project brings in a wonderful couple Paige and Andrew who had lost everything and will do anything to start their lives again and getting a job as contractors at the Inn was a dream come true. For Vienna, Matt, Paige and Andrew all they needed was a second chance and Hope Harbor was there to help. This story keeps a slow and steady pace and is said with clean and active language.

And love is in the air......What a wonderful story, well- said and well-done.

I love visiting Hope Harbor with Irene Hannon. Every book in the series has been an enjoyable read, including Sandcastle Inn. Vienna is there visiting her mom, Bev, the owner of the bookstore. Vienna has been a workaholic, trying to build her professional life. Matt came to Hope Harbor to help his sister restore an inn. As their stories twist together, secrets are unveiled and hearts changed. I always love seeing Charley and his seagull friends and revisiting the places and people of this charming town. Hannon is a gifted writer, and I'm happy she's continued this wonderful series. I hear there's another one coming next year. I received a free copy. Opinions are my own..

Coming back to Hope Harbour is like a warm hug. We are visiting for the tenth time and there's something new every visit. Both main characters had interesting backstories that they needed to overcome to reach their happily ever after - the inn feels like a character that symbolises the characters inner transformation.

I dearly loved encountering old friends such as Charley, the Reverends, the seagulls and previous heroines/heros. The side characters also have interesting stories. They could have made a whole book by themselves but it was great to meet them in this book. I'm eagerly awaiting book 11.

Sandcastle Inn is a well written romance. I throughly enjoyed the plot and the believable characters. I recommend reading this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

It was wonderful to be back in Hope Harbor. Several characters with major family and work issues. The tale pulls on the heart strings and causes one to think about similar problems. Fun to see how all of the characters get to know one another and end up with their happily ever after. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary. Happy to see that another Hope Harbor story will be coming out. Lovely location thanks to Irene Hannon's words.

I loved everything about Sandcastle Inn written in Irene Hannon's delightful signature style! 5 stars!

Sandcastle Inn is a wonderfully charming story with the restoration of an Inn on the Oregon coast at its center. Marketing professional Vienna Price and Veterinarian Matt Quinn are richly drawn characters whose initial meetup is not the stuff of dreams, but later sparks are flying. Hannon still sits the throne as queen of the classic slow burn romance.

Hope Harbor has become one of my favorite places to visit with its lovely seaside setting complete with coffee shop, taco stand and Sweet Dreams Bakery. There are the usual variety of unique characters including Charlie the taco vendor and Floyd and Gladys too. I love that Vienna's eccentric mom Bev runs the Book Nook and is well loved within her community. Bev's beliefs that she'd rather "spend her money in travel and theater and experiences than a pile of bricks..." preferring to read books and make jewelry. She is so completely opposite of her saving, planning and strategizing daughter it was fun to watch the two together.

The bottom line is, Sandcastle Inn is pure reading enjoyment! I'm thrilled to hear there will be another Hope Harbor book to look forward in the future. It can't happen soon enough for a return visit to this idyllic destination. I appreciate Revell Publishers making a copy of Sandcastle Inn available for review. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.

A sweet, tranquil love story between a hero tortured by loss and guilt and a heroine at a crossroads, “Sandcastle Inn”, by Irene Hannon, is about grief, healing and hope, and takes place in the beautiful coastal town of Hope Harbor.
I liked Vienna’s and Matt slow beginning and enjoyed reading about the circumstances that brought them together.
Their first meeting and mutual impressions are really enjoyable to read.
The author creates such an atmosphere that you really want to be immersed in this wonderful fictional small-town and meet their inhabitants.
I was intrigued by the secrets in Matt’s life and appreciated that they were only revealed later in the story. The unsociable facet is appealing.
Matt’s tragic past interferes with his life and makes him embark in feelings of guilt and even self-flagellation.
Vienna is also an interesting lead, a skilled and full of energy woman. I enjoyed watching how loving her relationship with his mother still is, despite their different personalities and all her complaints.
The talent she brings to Sandcastle Inn project is amazing.
There’s a second couple story and I really enjoyed how both stories combined. Paige and Andrew are admirable characters and their recent experience is a test of resilience and courage.
I felt the main romantic couple could use a few more scenes showing the attraction, chemistry, and love.

Another visit to Hope Harbor, a plot that has the emotions of having second.chances. A plot that catches you from the beginning, of their lives, emotions and struggles that keep you to the end.
Was well written, I enjoyed and recommend.

Sandcastle Inn is an emotional and heartwarming tale of second chances. Secrets, heartache, regret, damaged relationships. All of these are issues our characters are dealing with. But with a few breaks, thought provoking words of advice (we can always count on Charley for that!), as well as a willingness to approach the future with open-mindedness and taking a few chances, we see the community of Hope Harbor work its magic on Vienna and Matt, and on Paige and Andrew. The book was touching and spellbinding. I loved this return to Hope Harbor!

I love being back in Hope Harbor, Charlie and his fish tacos, and our pair of seagulls, and the beautiful seashore.

Charlie seems to always be in the know and at the right place at the right time. This time we have a young woman who has lost her corporate job and visiting her Mom, then we have a man who is going to help his sister restore her disrepair inn, and then a couple really down on their luck.

The author has this group of people come together, and we are there to see how they all come together, and the part Charlie plays.

We also have a Mom, she wants a relationship with her daughter, but boy does she have a lot of surprises for her.

In the end there are decisions to be made, and some healing, along with some sweet romance!

As usual I love my visits to Hope Harbor, and they never disappoint!
