For this Blog tour we were sent the first two books in the Misty Harbor Inn series. These novels in the series are written by Evangeline Kelley which is a pen name for these 4 authors collaborating together. Patti Berg, Pam Andrews & Barbara Hanson, and Camy Tang. The First two books that are in the series are:
Seaside Harmony:
"Three sisters, a charming inn,
hints of mystery and romance, and a gorgeous seaside setting. Summer
reading at its finest!
When Caroline Marris joins her sisters, Gracie Gold and Sam Carter
for a Nantucket Island getaway, she has no idea how it will change
her life. The sisters stumble upon Misty Harbor Inn, the place their
late mother loved so much, and Caroline talks her sisters into buying
the beautiful but dilapidated inn. But can free-spirited Caroline
stay focused enough to make opening the inn a reality? Hand-drawn old
postcards draw the sisters into the mystery of Hannah Montague, the
young widow of the original owner. Can the sisters uncover the fate
of this woman who disappeared in 1880? As Caroline and her sisters
work together to make their mom's dream a reality, they bond in ways
they never expected.
Readers will delight in the inviting setting and be enthralled by the adventures of these sisters who reunite to bring their mother's Misty Harbor dreams to life." Book Description from Amazon.
My Thoughts:
Right from the very beginning I was involved in this story. Usually with most books it takes a little bit to ramp up your curiosity but with seaside harmony it was there from the beginning. The writing flowed so nicely and there weren't any complaints about how it was written at all. I love that it has an air of mystery and the sisters are just a joy to read about. There isn't anything that's really super humorous or spectacular about it but it still is a great book to read. It was a pretty quick read and I would totally recommend it for anyone that was a simple non complicated fiction novel.
Sunflower Summer:
"Three sisters, a charming inn,
hints of mystery and romance, and a gorgeous seaside setting. Summer
reading at its finest!
Misty Harbor Inn officially opens, and Gracie Gold, the middle
Marris sister, wrestles with an overwhelming decision. As the sisters
learn the day-to-day workings of running an inn, Gracie counsels its
first guests, newlyweds whose honeymoon seems to be ending before it
begins. Meanwhile, Sam's discovery of a clue in a secret room sheds
unflattering light on Hannah Montague, who vanished from the house
more than one hundred years ago. And as Gracie and Caroline welcome
guests to the inn, they are delighted to see how God uses it -- and
them -- to deepen relationships and transform lives.
Readers will delight in the inviting setting and be enthralled by the adventures of these sisters who reunite to bring their mother's dream to reality." -Book description from Amazon.
My thoughts:
It was great to read about the sisters again and not have to wait months! This one was more exciting with much more things happening in the novel. But its also much shorter than the first “seaside harmony” that part I wasn't too fond of since I wanted more and more of these sisters and their inn. There are moments you want to just cheer for what happens next with the lovely sisters. Its just a great novel period.
