Book list
From Booklist, Copyright © American Library Association. Used with permission.

Celeste Jones thought she had finally found her own Prince Charming, but instead Emerson Willis turned out to be a poisonous frog. Fortunately, Celeste knows the perfect place to mend her broken heart, Moonlight Harbor. Not only will her sister, Jenna, welcome Celeste's help at the Driftwood Inn, but summer afternoons spent lazing around at the beach are certain to help banish painful memories. But even as Jenna tries to sort out of her complicated love life, she searches for a Mr. Right for Celeste, too. Roberts once again works her own easy, breezy brand of romance magic in the latest sun-dappled, ocean-splashed, and superbly satisfying addition to the endlessly charming Moonlight Harbor series.--John Charles Copyright 2019 Booklist

Crushed, furious, and through with men after being cheated on by the slimeball she thought she would marry, Celeste Jones heads for the Washington State coast and Moonlight Harbor to spend the summer with her sister Jenna, who runs the Driftwood Inn. She ends up dating the local pastor, who's exactly the decent, dependable kind of man she believes she needs. Still, why can't she stop thinking about sarcastic, opinionated, serial-killer-fiction writer Henry Gilbert, a man who annoys her to no end? Small-town politics, meddling townsfolk, and gossip with a mean-girl vibe keep the things upbeat in an irresistible story that will have readers wondering until the conclusion. -VERDICT Lighthearted and full of colorful, quirky characters and surf-side warmth, this latest foray into Roberts's picturesque coastal world is sheer delight and will appeal to romance and women's fiction fans alike. Roberts (Winter at the Beach) lives in Bremerton, WA. © Copyright 2019. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
