Amy came to Rosemary Cottage to grieve, to heal, maybe even find love. But there’s a deadly undertow of secrets around Hope Island….

The charming Rosemary Cottage on the beach offers Amy Lange respite she needs to mourn her brother, Ben. She’s even thinking of moving her midwife practice to the Outer Banks community. It’s always been a refuge for her and her family. She also wants to investigate Ben’s disappearance at sea. Everyone blames a surfing accident, but Amy has reason to wonder.
Coast Guard officer Curtis Ireland has lost a sibling too. His sister, Gina, was run down by a boat, leaving him to raise her infant daughter. If anyone knew who little Raine’s father was, Curtis could lose his beloved niece. Yet he can’t help being drawn to Hope Beach’s new midwife, Amy. He even agrees to help her investigate what happened to both Ben and Gina.
Can two grieving people with secrets find healing on beautiful Hope Island? Or will their quest for truth set them at odds with each other…and with those who will go to any length to keep hidden things hidden?

My Thoughts:

This is my first time that I have a read any novels by Colleen Coble. This is the second book in the Hope Beach Series. I was able to enjoy the story without reading the first one. I look forward to exploring more of Colleen Coble’s novels. 

This is one of those books that is filled with suspense and twist and turns throughout the story. You just never know what to expect with each turn of the page. The book is well written and enjoyable to the end! I had a hard time putting it down. 

All the characters are amazing. Each character is unique and real. I like it when characters are the average down to earth people. I love the spiritual aspect of this story. Even though we may sin and we are forgiven if we turn from our sins but we still have consequences of the choices we made. A reminder of how greed can ruin a person if we let it.

This is a wonderful book with and amazing plot. It makes me miss home in North Carolina with the descriptions of the Outer Banks which I haven’t been to in years.

Litfuse Publicity Group has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. In no way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
