Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. This book engages the emotions and capitalizes on the description of this sweet little town. Aside of Jess’s tumultuous guilt, this book brings out the forgiveness needed to heal and move on. With a job like hers, she helps others throw out “things” in their home, decluttering the past and making way for the future until she realizes that’s what she needs to move forward for her own future. She must learn to overcome a family tragedy and make amends with her sister which searching for her own Cape Sanctuary.

Independence is a hard fought achievement but at what cost to forming connections with people. Jess and her sister Rachel couldn’t be more different. For most of their youth they had been a team and then their team was ripped apart by the system. When these girls entered the foster children system they were split up. Rachel went to a good home in Cape Sanctuary. For most of the story all we know is that Jess found herself in a group home situation.
Rachel married her high school sweetheart and has three children. Rachel developed a cottage industry in social media. Her life is sort of an open book and now she is facing a challenge with her youngest child Silas who is on the spectrum.
Jess on the other hand travels around the country. Her company Transitions helps people unclutter their homes and their lives. There are many reasons why people need Jess and Transitions. Jess and her partner are smart enough to maintain emotional distance from those that hire them. Usually an easy task since Jess likes her alone time and privacy. Her time in the military brought her a great sense of responsibility and confidence. Her job is very important but it mostly leaves her on the outside of lives.
Jess is in Sunshine Cove to help Eleanor, a newly widowed woman reinvent her life minus her beloved husband. Eleanor is lucky having her son Nate and his teenage daughter Sophie close by.
THE PATH TO SUNSHINE COVE is a study of how important family really is. Families are the ultimate team and teamwork is essential. The parallel to military life couldn’t be more obvious.
Both Jess and Nate found discipline, rules and teamwork in the military. Rachel developed this sense by total emersion in her family. But there needs to be more to life. And that component is connection. Rachel is struggling with this new challenge to her well-ordered life and marriage. She needs to take a breath and allow herself to accept help. Jess is uncovering a well-hidden need in her life, that of a personal connection.
By taking this time to hopefully reconnect with her sister Jess is learning a lot about Rachel’s life and her own as well. Funny how we can recognize someone else’s issues so easily and yet acknowledging our own is candidly so difficult.
Rachel and Jess’s lives were fraught with challenges of their parent’s tumultuous relationship which of course filters down to the children. They found very diverse ways of handling those issues. Which brings us to the present. THE PATH TO SUNSHINE COVE showcases a divine house and beach property which brings a calm to the lives of those that live there. But even with that beauty and calmness life intrudes and it’s how you adapt to those challenges that matter.
All the folks in THE PATH TO SUNSHINE COVE are facing challenges to their lives. RaeAnne Thayne has decided to be honest and at the same time help these folks manage these changes with grace. That’s why fans of RaeAnne Thayne follow her books. When life gets messy RaeAnne Thayne reminds us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we just have to be open and accept it.
THE PATH TO SUNSHINE COVE just may be the best of the bunch written by RaeAnne Thayne. It is that well-conceived, constructed and written.

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 really enjoyed this book. I loved the how Jessica and Rachel over came their troubles, Rachel in her marriage and Jessica with life's lessons.
I loved all the children in this book. Especially Silas.. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you netgalley and harlequin for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

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.

I loved the scrolling. Jess is in california visiting rachel her sister cody and the kids. Jess and Rachel have a messy relationship. I liked the characters,dialogue, descriptions.

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.
