At 36, Celeste Jones feels her biological clock ticking, but is hopeful that her dream to start a family with the right man is about to come true. But why hasn't Emerson introduced her to his family, or asked about meeting hers? Because Emerson has been cheating on her for nearly a year and he just dumped Celeste. Where to go to heal a broken heart? To the beach, of course. Celeste's sister Jenna is the owner of the Drifwood Inn in Moonlight Harbor, WA, and Celeste plans to spend the summer there, help her sister with the inn, and starting over.
Jenna is thrilled to welcome her sister. She can use her help at the Inn, and as a matchmaker, she is confident she can find "THE ONE" for her beloved sis... So what if Jenna had an unsuccessful marriage and is presently interested in two men and cannot decide who is the right one for her? Jenna has one in mind - Pastor Paul, a handsome single man that everyone at church adores. When she introduces them, Paul is immediately attracted. Jenna is waiting for the sparks to fly and so is Celeste.
Both sisters have to figure out how to open up their hearts to new opportunities, both in love and in life.
THE SUMMER RETREAT is third in the Moonlight Harbor series but reads as a stand-alone that brings you into the lives of a small beach town community. There are a lot of colorful characters dealing with small-town politics, church drama, and local gossips... A delightful read that I enjoyed and you will too!
Book Summary
Join USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts for a seaside escape to the beaches of Moonlight Harbor
Celeste Jones has plans for a perfect summer with her boyfriend (and hopefully soon-to-be fiancé)—until he dumps her to be with the woman he’s had on the side for months. Heartbroken and furious, Celeste resolves to move on. When the going gets tough, the tough…okay, the not-so-tough go to the beach.
As soon as school lets out for the summer, she waves goodbye to her first-graders, packs up her bikini and heads for Moonlight Harbor, where she knows her big sister, Jenna, will receive her with open arms. Jenna could probably use some help at the Driftwood Inn, and Celeste is happy to do chores around the place in exchange for a relaxing summer escape. She just needs something—or someone—to distract her from her troubles.
Finding The One can be tricky, and Jenna is determined to make sure Celeste gets it right this time around. Not that Jenna’s an expert. She’s still trying to sort out her own love life. But if both sisters listen to their hearts, eventually they’re bound to discover that life—and love—is good at the beach.
