Diamond Beach #3

New Day at the Beach House: Feel Good Beachy Women's Fiction

Rate this book
All she wanted was one last summer at the beach house...

It’s a new day in Diamond Beach and things are looking good for all of the Thompson women, upstairs and down. In part because Bryan Thompson’s will has finally been read. It’s not quite what the families were expecting, but that seems to follow with everything else that’s happened. Ultimately, everyone’s happy with the outcome.

Claire Thompson’s made a new friend. Her next-door neighbor, Danny Rojas. He’s not only helped her come to terms with some of her feelings, he’s offered her an incredible opportunity. But can she afford to be part of it?

Roxie Thompson is struggling to find her place in this new reality. Helping her daughter, Trina, start a business is great, but Roxie wants more. Her mom, Willie, isn’t letting anything hold her back. Maybe Roxie should be more like her?

Regardless of some small obstacles, the future looks brighter than it ever did before. For all of them. But when a stranger shows up at the beach house with incredible news, will it change everything again? Or will they find the courage to keep moving forward?

Time off is time best spent at the beach, don't you agree?

The beach is my happy place. The sound of the waves are my favorite background music. And the sand between my toes is the best massage I can think of.

When I'm not at the beach, I'm writing or reading or cooking for my family. You know, life.

Book 3 is definitely a page turner by Maggie Miller.

Becoming friends with your husbands other wife and the daughters hitting it off also is amazing. Then finding out the daughters will inherit the beach property was amazing. Each one from Mothers, daughters and their daughters find a love interest as well makes it exciting for all. Unexpected ending to this book makes me want to read the next one now.

New Day at The Beach House by Maggie Miller

Bryan's two families are finally adjusting to their new life and relationships in the Florida beach home. His daughters with different mothers have become friends, the grandmother's are friendly and Roxie and Claire realize neither of them are to blame for Bryan's bigamy. Then a door is answered and a other Bryan surprise questions them. Great series, a lot going on and occasional humor and intrigue. Love this author.

This book, third in the series, is another delightful and entertaining tale of a group of strong women and their journey towards making positive changes after being thrown a few huge curves. I would definitely recommend reading the books in order - it make a much better and more complete story. Then sit back and enjoy a wild ride at the Beach House!

Great read! Can’t wait for the next book!

I generally like to read beach books, but the storyline of the Diamond Beach collection had me hooked from the first book. I realize that I can relate to the characters and their feelings - happy, sad, angry and shocked. This would make a great TV show!

This series is so fun to read. I like how Roxie and Claire are getting along. At least Claire was willing to try the thrift store shopping. I also like how Cash is finishing his way in the music scene. I thought another wife might pop up when the life insurance checks were short. The cliffhanger of the new wife was so good with a new baby. Can’t wait to start the next one.

it keeps getting better

This series is so much fun. Twists and turns with some interesting characters. I have laughed and been so relaxed reading these stories. So glad I have at least 2 more to go. It feels like I’m there with these families as they live their very different normal lives. Maggie Miller I do hope all your work is fun.

As things start to calm down and new life events are taking place. The ending is very surprising. 2 wives, and 2 daughters and then a doorbell is answered to a new upheaval.

All the ladies in the story are in love. It is all working out until the last page. Another wife and child. Bryan sure made fast time. The whole series is keeping me on edge. I can't wait to read more. You are a good writer to keep this all going on.

I love this series. I don't want to keep repeating myself from book to book. But I would highly recommend this book if you love beach reads and the development of friendships between women. I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series.

extremely unrealistic!!!

Wow, 3 books in and not once is there a disagreement between, sisters, cousins or mothers and daughters! Everyone falls in love with “the perfect guy” at the same time.

I cannot get enough of this series. The characters are so well written and just when I think I can’t be surprised, I am. A great light-hearted series for a book lover. Especially, if you like just a sprinkle of romance.

can you say twist?

The ending was something I really didn’t expect. I was looking forward to seeing the stories of these family members and now that seems tame.

Secrets can destroy lives

So many secrets so many lies. The truth may hurt but the secrets hurt so much more when they are discovered. Bryan was such a selfish man!

Mediocre read with an eye roll at the end. It was just something to read to end my day but not something that I was overly excited to pick up. Happy that I’m done with the trio.
