Honestly, it’s kinda cheesy, not thought provoking and can be predictable at times, but sometimes you just need a book for that! I wanted an easy read without a lot of brain power required and this series meets that mark! Plus I like envisioning the building of a B&B in New England.

This story keeps getting better! The author does a good job of leaving you hanging at the end of each book. I'm looking forward to book 3 (audiobook)!!

I love the descriptions of sceans, smells and feels! Fiona's writing takes me with her right into the kitchen of Arial's home and I want to reproduce the meals she makes.

This book series has been fun. An easy read that is not to heavy with love, mystery and challenges. I am starting book 3 today.

This is second in the Endless Harbor series, and our heroine is still struggling to get the zoning approved for her inn and the renovations made so she can open up. The Mayor is a particularly odious bad guy who is doing all he can to stop her so he can build a luxury hotel on the site. Meanwhile her erstwhile lover from Florida has turned up on the scene trying to woo her back. And there's the ongoing mystery of why and how her father disappeared. Finally her newest love interest seems to be backing off for some reason. At times it feels a bit like the heroine tied to the train tracks, but then things begin to settle down just a bit. Although I do feel this series is at times a bit melodramatic, I still keep reading them, so I guess I can't say too much. 3.5 stars

The continuing saga of Endless Harbor…OK, so this is definitely a sugary, almost sickeningly sweet, corny and very predictable story. I’m not sure why I’m continuing with it, but the plot is enough to keep me going for the next book in the series. Why? I’m not entirely sure. I spent this book mostly irritated by the silly thought processes of the main character, Ariel, which led to questionable decisions. It is very predictable and the description of dishes she makes is getting a little old. The language is shallow and really makes it read too much like a Hallmark movie. Like I said, I’ll give it one more book in the series and then, I think I’ll be done. What can I say? Sometimes I just need a light read to listen to in the car. I lean more toward two stars, but let it top the scale at three because, after all, it was enough of a plot to make me curious about the next in the series.

The ex-boyfriend is manipulative and unseemly. The new boyfriend, not so sure of even at the end. Both have issues but I’d dump Dylan first. With people like Dylan in Ariel’s life, she doesn’t need enemies.

Miles is questionable but we see a better side of him near the end. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

One crisis after another in this book. It sounds like a soap opera. If 10% of this actually occurs to one person, I’d be amazed.

I listened to this book and it kept me entertained. The reveals were plausible.

What I didn’t care for is the epilogue that teases of the next book.
What I did like was the wrap up the epilogue gave us.

I rate this as a 3.5 Hallmark cheesy movie. What made it different was the reason people did what they did.

I read book one in this series and had to follow up with book two to see what was going to happen based on the content of book one. More surprises, drama, and excitement follow in book two. Be sure to read this one, and follow the ongoing saga of Ariel and Katie in Endless Harbor, as they strive to adapt to and become part of their new home community. The struggles they deal with, how they cope and overcome, provide good lessons in dealing with problems and life in general. This is a good book and series and I recommend them.

[Katie Ringwalt · Rating 4 out of 5]

So far I have enjoyed this series. I feel this book was better than the first, so I hope they continue to get better. There was a lot that happened in this book and the chapters are so quick and easy to read. I also love how the author leaves you hanging at the end of the book to get you ready for that next book.

[Speckkle · Rating 4 out of 5]

this series has become sort of a Fluff series for me. something quick and easy to read. not overly complex, somewhat cheesy, and quite a bit predictable throughout. the character development is enjoyable, and I will continue reading this series. the basis of the story is interesting and keeps my attention despite the predictable nature and the editing errors.

[Diane Tosney · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ariel's story continues with more mystery, family, friendship, romance, small-town life, and lots of hard work. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, and trying to unravel some of the mystery in this small town.

[Jeanette S. Stracner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good!

Finished reading this book. The ins and outs of this book were good. Fiona Grace did a good job of working out the out comings. Jeanette Stracner

You will love following this

Can't put the book down when you get started!! Hope to continue the series and find out more about this family and town.

[Michelle Rusch]

This book was kind of predictable. The ending really didn’t have full closure.

[Donna Kale · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

[Kay Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed Always, Forever by Fiona Grace. I was disappointed that she had so many huddles to get over, I was sure she would make the right choices. But everyone has to make each choice for themselves. Can't wait to see what come next for Ariel and daughter.

[Evelyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too much angst and a cliff hangrr

[Shandy Mathis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delightful!

I enjoyed reading this sequel! It was packed full of fun and mystery. Truly a great book! Everyone should read it!

[Caitlyn Rogers · Rating 4 out of 5]

great story line

I really enjoy this story thus far. This book needed some edits but still was worth continuing the read. Excited for book 3.

[DeShae Bostic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can’t wait to read the next one !

[Dobby · Rating 2 out of 5]

Three stars reduced to two due to cliffhanger ending. Otherwise, it was an OK read. I wasn't comfortable with the circumstances of Ariel's love interest; he's still married but declares his love for Ariel. That felt too rebound-y for me. I won't be continuing the series.

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love doesn't always go smoothly. You can think something you saw was one thing --but actually it is not what you think it is. This happens to both of them. Meanwhile her daughter has a boyfriend who is the son of the mayor who is giving all the problems! And the mystery of her fathers disappearance many years ago is still a mystery waiting to be solved.

This is a clean contemporary romance that you will find hard to put down!
