The Sea Glass Cottage

In RaeAnne Thayne's The Sea Glass Cottage, this beautiful contemporary romance will have you moving to tears by the end of the novel. For Olivia Harper, she always loved living in Cape Sanctuary California as a young child. But after two devastating tragedies in her family, she moved away to Oregon to start a new life. But when her mother fell off a ladder and broke her lip, she rushed home when tensions ran high between her niece and her mother. As she helped her mother out  in the greenhouse and ran her social media  company from home, she never knew why her niece Caitlin hated her and why her mother was distant in the past. But as she bonded with her best friend, Melody, she ran into her late sister's best friend and her childhood crush, Cooper Vance, who also her best friend's brother. Olivia also dealt with fear and panic attacks from an incident in a coffeehouse in Oregon. For Cooper Vance, he's the newest fire chief and a war veteran, who's been consumed by guilt on the night of the fire that claimed Olivia's father so many years ago. But he had feelings for Olivia for the longest time. For Juliet, she dealt with raising Caitlin after Natalie died and has MS, but she had feelings for her neighbor, her late best friend's husband, and didn't want to be anyone's burden. And Caitlin also wanted to find out who's her father and wanted to be there for Juliet and to also patch the differences with her aunt Olivia. All of them dealt with finding out the truths of the past and the crossroads that led them to find happiness there in Cape Sanctuary with a wonderful tear-jerking ending.

This was so beautifully written and wonderful to read. It's so lifting and powerful that tug at the heartstrings. I did care for Olivia, Juliet, Cooper, and Caitlin. As told from their POVs throughout the story, they've dealt with a lot of heartache, sorrow, sadness, and found their own cloud of happiness. Individually, they've also searched for a missing piece in their lives and resolved their own differences. I loved the beautiful seaswept location of Cape Sanctuary, California, and how it was so visual and picturesque at the scenic settings throughout the story. The theme deals with home and what really makes a family, whether it's biological or not. It's about love and second chances to feel settled and rooted.

The Cottages of Silver Beach

In RaeAnne Thayne's The Cottages of Silver Beach, the 8th installment in the Haven Point contemporary romance series, this sweet love story would enchant you with a heart-warming plot line. For Megan Hamilton, she had been the innkeeper of her family's inn in Haven Point, Idaho, and had put her dreams on hold twice. First she had to help take care of her grandmother before she had died, and then with her sister-in-law's disappearance seven years ago, she gave her brother a lending hand. She had lost a lot in her life and had given up a lot too, especially when her boyfriend Wyatt died a few years ago. Then Elliott Bailey re-entered her life and rented one of her cottages for some down time. As a FBI agent and true crime writer, he had nursed an injured shoulder and needed quiet.  But for Megan, her brother Luke had been under a cloud of suspicion for her sister-in-law's disappearance for seven years and lived a hard life. When she caught Elliott digging into the case, she became suspicious and later got to know him better. Later, they took a road trip to Denver for her first photo exhibit at a gallery, when they got to know each other better and the chemistry was red-hot as a burning flame. The closer they get to the truth of what happened, the more they question their feelings for each other and a possible future of new beginnings of second chances.


This was a sweet and romantic contemporary romance novel that warmed my heart all over. I instantly cared for Megan and how she dealt with some many hardships in her life including a touch-as-nails abusive father. I also cared for Elliott and how he opened his heart to see things clearly and not abrasive or cold as she thought. I loved the dual locations of Haven Point, Idaho, and Denver, Colorado, at the side. The scenery was breath-taking and picturesque to take you to Silver Beach and around the small town community in Idaho. This would make you a believer to follow your heart and to shoot for the stars to go for the dreams. This has a big scoop of romance, non-stop action, drama, and a hint of mystery to keep you amazed at the end.
