Just out of the Army and on his way to work at a private practice with a colleague in the midwest, doctor Ben Garrison never expected to inherit a lighthouse in Hope Harbor. Eager to sell the landmark and move on with his life, Ben comes to the attention of local newspaper editor Marci Weber. Determined to save the Pelican Point lighthouse, Marci starts a campaign to do just that. Can she convince Ben to go along with her plan? As the two spend more time together and sparks begin to fly, can either of them learn to love again? Will Hope Harbor truly be a place of healing for Ben, or just a layover on the way to the rest of his life?
Irene Hannon takes readers back to the lovely Hope Harbor in Pelican Point. While I love Hannon's writing and adore her characterization skills, this isn't my favorite of her Hope Harbor series thus far. It honestly seemed like a rewrite of Sea Rose Lane: local boy comes home for a quick trip... meets a girl... falls in love... must decide if he wants to stay forever. There was very little suspense, and everything just fell into place a little too predictably this time. I did, however, enjoy this story's sub-plot immensely. I'm still a devoted fan, and will continue to look forward to more Hope Harbor installments even though this one missed the mark a bit.
