The Path to Sunshine Cove by RaeAnne Thayne. Sunshine Cove is truly the path to love.... romantic, family, friends and community. Relatable and likable characters make for a pleasant story and a town that is worth revisiting.Jess and Nate are a perfect couple as are Rachel and Cody.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

I always love diving into a RaeAnne Thayne novel, she always provides a wonderful escape!! The Path to Sunshine Cove is a cozy romance that I completely enjoyed from start to finish! The storyline was perfectly paced and the characters were so darn endearing. In this crazy world of late, I find myself wanting to read authors that warm my soul and RaeAnne Thayne most definitely does that! If you have read her before you 100% know what I’m saying and if you haven’t gotten a chance to read one of her novels yet I highly encourage you to read The Path to Sunshine Cove!

A cast of characters that keep the reader fully engaged. Real world issues come up throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama.
Who we become, what life gives us both good and trying. Love.
This story is thoughtful and well told.

While I enjoy Ms. Thayne, I did not like this book as much as her others. Still, this was a great romantic, feel good in your heart and soul book. Thankful to NetGalley for allowing me to read this title.

This book reads like it is a stand alone. I really enjoyed the story line and the characters. I like the family connections and that family is the foundation we depend on

According to NetGalley, this is part of the same series as The Sea Glass Cottage. , however, unlike many of Thayne's series romances, this one does not come with a huge cast of characters who seem to have little connection to the story at hand.

Jessica is in town partly because she was hired to help a widow clean out her house and partly because she wanted an excuse to be close to her sister for a while. The widow has a son who becomes the romantic interest in the story.

Its funny the pictures you get in your mind about characters. This story starts as Jess pulls her Airstream onto her client's property. For some reason, I pictured a short-haired frumpy but pleasant woman about my age. As the story developed I realized that like most romance heroines, Jess was much younger than me.

Rachel is an interesting character. She's a stay-at-home mom, a young woman who married her high school sweetheart. She has an autistic son. She's also a blogger and posts regularly to other social media. She has crafted an image and trying to live up to it is crushing her.

Back when I started this blog my big kids were beyond the uber-cute stage and I never felt comfortable telling stories of their foibles here because though I've never hit the big time as a blogger, I'm well aware that erasing a digital footprint is difficult to impossible and what teen wants to find stories his/her mom wrote about him/her shared on social media? While paying attention to what I write over time will probably tell you a lot about me, if you choose to put it all together, you'll have to at least run a Google search to find my name and you'd really have to hunt for my kids' names. I've always kind of wondered how much of what we read from professional mommy bloggers is real, how much is made up, and to what extent the authors are able to tell the difference.

I enjoyed the book and the fact that other relationships were as important to the story as the Jess/Nate relationship.

I'd like to thank the publisher for making a review copy available via NetGalley. Grade: B.

This book was received as an ARC from HARLEQUIN - Romance (U.S. & Canada) in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was such a treat to preview. I remember doing a display for a bookstore displaying all of the Harlequin Romance but I never had the desire to read any of them but I knew they sell and circulate well...until this book. Everyone deserves the opportunity to discover their purpose in life and sometimes it comes with reconnecting with old friends and family. I can totally relate to Rachel and Jessica and their struggle to figure out what is important and weed out the unnecessary but never forget that family is your foundation and will always be there for you when you need them. I know this book will circulate well and be a good addition to our Romance collection.

We will consider adding this title to our Romance collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
