Steve and Eden are both suffering with PTSD and moving to be part of Pastor John's support group has given them the security, safety and support they need to finally begin healing. They find comfort and new hope in Sapphire Bay, but Steve has secrets that he is hiding from, and seeing him struggle to open up and tell Eden about them is both frustrating and heart wrenching. They are both good people and generous characters but trust doesn't come easy for either of them, so them finally opening up and offering their hearts is beautiful. We also have a new addition to the town! So exciting for not only the new parents, who are central to the town's success, but also for the town as a whole. They are all one big, slightly dinted but welcoming family who celebrate every new addition and offer shelter to every person seeking refuge. A sweet series that fills your heart with hope and love.
his was a sweet story about overcoming life’s tragedies and finding love on the other side of healing. I didn’t feel like the romance was rushed, I liked how the characters from her previous books were woven into this novel and that her trauma felt authentic. I do wish that they had touched on her PTSD more. In her other books, she has shown that the recovery is a journey. This is a big piece of the puzzle that was missing from this book. For this reason, I would give this book only 3.5 stars.
This is the third book in this series by Leeanna Morgan. This book introduces us to two new characters who come to Sapphire Bay. Both Eden, a teacher and Steve, an artist move here to get support from PTSD. Along with these newcomers are some characters in earlier books too. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and I hope Ms. Morgan continues writing more stories.
What a magical place! I would love to live in an inclusive, caring community like Sapphire Falls! You won’t be disappointed in this story! Leeanna is an excellent storyteller!
Sapphire Bay is an amazing place where so many people have recovered from life's traumas, finding community, support, love and brighter futures! Steve and Eden's story is such a satisfying read. It's always a pleasure to revisit Sapphire Bay.
Loved reading this book and the other books in the series. Can wait to read the next book! Wish I was in Sapphire Bay. A place to call home and meet people who become friends.
I have now read every one of Leeanna Morgan's books. She takes you into the mountains of Montana, and wraps you in love and happiness! I just hope that there's more to come!! Bravo!
