This fourth book in Leigh Duncan's Emerald Bay series brings all the heart, humor, and family dynamics I've come to love in this series. This author weaves together the stories of the members of this multi-generation family in a way that draws me into into their lives, challenges, and relationships. By this point in the series, I feel as if I know them. They feel like friends. I've become invested in their professional success and personal happiness. Some of the women are at a personal crossroads, others at professional ones, some are starting over, some weighing the pros and cons of second chances, and one is dealing with a crisis of faith. And, of course, in the background for all of them is the beloved family matriarch and the family inn they've poured so much of themselves into. Will a sale be necessary? Or will they find a way to keep it in the family? And what about those romantic relationships? I'm eager to discover all of the answers as this heart-tugging series continues.

This is a series where I strongly recommend reading the books in order.

4.5 stars

Treasure Coast Revival ~ Emerald Bay #4 by Leigh Duncan.

Blurb:
Restoration of the Dane Crown Inn is nearly complete, but will Belle, Kim, Diane and the others be successful in rebuilding their own lives?

Another fantastic addition to this series from Leigh, I have loved all the books in this series. They each have wonderful characters and strong storylines.

Treasure Coast Revival is one of those fairytale books that you just wish you could live in. I was transported there, and I found this to be a great read and quite exciting, I couldn’t put it down. I loved all the characters they really jumped at you from the page, a fabulous book and looking forward to reading more from Leigh.
If I could give more than 5* then I would.


Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read, Entertaining, Happily Ever After, Inspirational, Page-turner, Romantic, Realistic, and Wonderful characters

This book mostly focused on Belle as she waited to come full circle with how her music career started and what she was going to do next. I liked the path she was following. I don't usually say this but I loved the cliff hanger. It was perfect for this book and summed up Belle's time with her cousins restoring Dane Crown Inn which belonged to her mom. This book showed the cousin's strengths and courage as several of them started new paths in life. I enjoyed the cousins working together to get the Inn ready before their last family reunion. After that the Inn would be put up for sale.

I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Sometimes when you lose your way, you find yourself...

The ladies of Dane Crown Inn are discovering sometimes you just know it's time to start something new. They are dipping their toes into unchartered territories. The renovations on the Inn are winding down and they realize that as well as missing the Inn itself, their newfound relationships they have with each other will return to how they were before.

I have developed a fondness for all these strong women, and I look forward to the next book.

[Pat Pollock · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Dane Crown Inn family has become my family. Such a wide range of characters with vastly different adult histories, but coming together to grow as women while restoring the closeness of childhood. Such a special time. This book leaves me wanting more, not just the next book (although that’s a given), but to watch the characters and situations grow and build. I know I will be disappointed to see the end of this series and hope that never happens.

Florida, Emerald Bay
To much verbiage. Skimmed a lot.
Amy goes on date with Max, they start relationship. She looking for a 2 sight for sweet cakes.
Diane quite her job for real. Tim comes for date it goes well until she tells him he’s staying in Emerald Bay.
Jen went on date with Craig.
Belle is struggling with what next in her life. Jason comes for weekend ends up sick.
They all have to move into the cottages while the floors are redone. They they have to completely clean everything. Things are ready for the family reunion.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

This segment was especially good. The cousins plan are taking shape. Aunt Margaret is feeling better. Nat was helping everyone with their websites since her life imploded in New York. Diane's marriage is up in the air, but their daughter is thriving in this small town. Overall, there was a little romance brewing, some new careers and some new starts. A very good story.

I spent the day reading this heartfelt book. This series has been beautifully written.

With the work on the Inn still in progress and the family still trying to find their way including a hint of deepening romance you won’t be able to stop reading.

Sit back and watch how family and faith work hand in hand.

Looking forward to see what happens in book 5 - Treasure Coast Discovery.

I was lucky enough to get and ARC of this book from the author for an honest review

[Mary Jackson _TheMaryReader · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is really starting to come together. The cousins are going to get it together in this Emerald Bay series book 4. I love books with renovations. This book was so full of heart, I could not put it down, beach reads seem to be on the top of my favorites list right now.
This can be read as a standalone but the whole series is so worth the read.
Mary Reader received this book from the publisher for review. A favorable review was not required, and all views expressed are our own.

Some of the cousins' lives are starting their new course, while others are still figuring things out, all as the many repairs to the inn get on their way. Of course, new relationships are tested, or at least closely watched.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from Booksprout.

[Ellen White · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found it to be another delightful story and the perfect way to spend a day reading. With family coming together at the Inn, as repairs are being done.
Relationship of old and new ones coming fill the pages.
I heartily recommend this book to readers that I enjoyed.
