Book Description:
Sophie Lawson should be enjoying her sister’s wedding day. But nothing could
have prepared her to see the best man again.
After her mother became bedridden and her father bailed on
the family, Sophie found herself serving as a second mother to her twin brother,
Seth, and younger sister, Jenna. Sophie supported her siblings through their
college years, putting aside her own dream of opening a bookshop in Piper’s
Cove—the quaint North Carolina beach town they frequented as children.
Now it’s finally time for Sophie to follow her own pursuits.
Seth has a new job, and Jenna is set to marry her college beau in Piper’s Cove.
But the destination wedding reunites Sophie with best man Aiden Maddox, her
high school sweetheart who left her without a backward glance.
When an advancing hurricane strands Aiden in Piper’s Cove
after the wedding, he finds the hotels booked to capacity and has to ask Sophie
to put him up until the storm passes. As the two ride out the weather, old
feelings rise to the surface. The delay also leaves Sophie with mere days to
get her bookshop up and running. Can she trust Aiden to stick around? And will
he find the courage to risk his heart?
My Thoughts:
I love the beautiful cover of Bookshop by the Sea, set in the lovely town of Piper’s Cove,
along the Atlantic Ocean. Can I say perfect setting? A dream come true for
Sophie who has struggled to finally live the life she wants and needs. Denise
Hunter tells a beautiful story as she delves into abandonment issues. Both
Sophie and Aiden must come to grips with the emotions that have kept them apart
for seven years. A hurricane, a wind storm, and rain tossed on top of the
turmoil in their hearts makes for a captivating story. And the bookstore takes
on a life of its own, as friends help Sophie realize her dream. I love the nod
to Hunter’s Bluebell Inn series. If you haven’t read those yet, you should. If
you enjoy a beautiful setting, a riveting story, and well-written characters,
you’ll love Bookshop by the Sea. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
