Love In Harbor Falls
Formerly published as Harbor Falls.
Adalyn
Never did I imagine that my four-year marriage would abruptly end after the revelation of my husband’s devastating secret. The emotional toll left me with no option but to move away from New York City and start over somewhere new.
Fate led me to Harbor Falls, a charming and serene town nestled in South Carolina. It was the perfect place to fulfill my dream of opening an art gallery and starting a new chapter of my life. Unexpectedly, I crossed paths with Colin Young, a ruggedly handsome man who owned the Seaside Bar & Grille—a man who was also the town’s handyman.
Skilled at fixing things, he set out to mend my broken heart. But the question would I allow him to repair it, or would I let my past dictate my future?
Colin
No stranger to heartbreak, I spent the last two years healing my own wounds until Adalyn Richards entered my bar, instantly captivating me in a way I hadn’t experienced in a long time, if ever.
Adalyn relocated to Harbor Falls for a fresh start. She became the focus of my attention, and the more I got to know her, the more time I wanted to spend with her. Fully aware of her shattered trust in men, I was determined to show her that I was trustworthy and capable of mending her broken heart. Despite the challenges, I refused to give up until I made her mine.
A steamy small-town romance that will keep the pages turning and leave you wanting more.

This book left me absolutely speechless and not in a good way. First of all I feel like I was reading a book made by a boring person with a boring life. From start to end the characters only went on a date one time, and they didn't kiss hug or really do anything romantic. I doubt this was supposed to be romance. I don't know what this is. My honest feeling throughout the book. I was happy from chapter 1-10 then I realized they were never going to get together. I was reading this book for no reason. No erotic things either. Then I didn't really connect with the characters. It honestly felt like I was watching people look at each other without any thoughts. It was in third person and and just boring. The characters don't have their first kiss until the last dang chapter. It's 31 chapters and you telling me they don't even hug.
What made it even worse is they hung out for a week and author skipped over all their hanging out and all of a sudden the MC loves MBC when she rejected him 3 chapters before. There was no indication she liked him. She called him handsome once then all of a sudden 3 chapters later it's oh I love those eyes that I always see I love him so much. Like I'm sorry what. 1 chapter ago you weren't even thinking about him and now you love him 1 chapter later.
If you were going to make them love each other it should have been many chapters before the ending not the ending what the hell. Like I'm not joking they really got together at 99% not 98% not 97%🤦🏾♀️ waste of time and would not recommend.
What made me really mad Is the fact that she hired his ex. Like I know honey was going through things but MBC had every right to be mad. She didn't give two craps that the girl cheated on him like he was nothing. MC made him feel bad for treating his Cheating Ex like crap. Like who are you to say cheating is okay because I know damn well if the roles were reversed she would be mad at MBC for hiring her cheating Ex. I would have ignored her too because that's not okay. Don't make someone thing cheating is okay because it's not. Like MC then proceed to ignore him because he was mad about it. Honestly that made me really not like MC.

I loved Adalyn and Colin!! Adalyn was getting a divorce and she decided her life needed a fresh new start in Harbor Falls. Colin owner of the seaside bar and grill liked her from the very first time he saw her. His past relationship also ended badly. They both had stuff they needed to work out before they could move forward into another relationship.

Romance at its best. Likable characters. HEA.

I have read all her books. It was actually a really nice change to get a story that was not really located in New York and with a different story line. The business world was getting to be a bore. This story was nice and fresh but it seems to stretch and nothing really happening. I was hoping the relationship didn’t start to happen towards the end. It was a nice story.

Cute new story from Sandi Lynn! Adalyn trades her big city life for small town living after finding out something about her husband that alters her life completely. Deciding to do everything she wished she had done in her past; she quits her job and moves to Harbor Falls to open her own business and live out her dreams in the town she has fond childhood memories of. After arriving in town, she meets Colin, another local business owner, and while sparks instantly fly between them, she isn’t interested in anything after handling the betrayal and end of her marriage. Colin also feels the same sparks that Adalyn does, and while he’s hesitant on it, he decides to see where things go, after he had his own betrayal in the past. I loved the vibe of the town and how they really rallied behind both characters in this story, and how Adalyn’s tribe ends up following her and helping build her dreams. I would love to see if this is a one-off story or if we will get more from Harbor Falls!

Love in Harbor Falls brings us the daily life of the interior to the rhythm of the sea. A story of new beginnings and forgiveness. Adalyn teaches us that it is possible to move forward after a terrible disappointment and Colin, with his giant heart, teaches us so many lessons about respect and patience. Two people who were destined to be together, even if they had to go through life's challenges to do so.
With fluid writing, the author manages to make us feel the rhythm of a city in the interior of the United States. A delightful romance and I'm already looking forward to the next chapter in this series. After almost 11 years following this incredible writer, who with each book surprises me positively and with Love in Harbor Falls was no different. Read it, you will love it!

After discovering a devasting secret Adalyn decides to move to Harbor Falls and open an art gallery and start over. Never did she think she would meet Collin. She was not looking for anyone since her marriage was over. It was hard for her to trust someone. Colin was also burned in his past relationship. He hasn't trusted a woman either in a long time. But Adalyn made him want to trust again. He knew it would take time with her but he felt she was worth it.
Harbor Falls is a place for new beginnings. Adalyn always dreamed of opening her own gallery. Now she is given that chance and starting over is just what she needs.
A new town, new friends, new love, and dreams coming true. Exactly what the doctor ordered.

I have read the 1st version of this book and loved it then, Sandi has now rewritten the book and added to it and made it even better. Loved re-reading this story.
I loved this book from the start, which kept me reading from page one. Adalyn moves to a small town to move forward from her betrayal of her marriage. She meets Colin, who also has issues with his past. They both become friends, but Colin wants more. Adalyn has trust issues and can not move forward even though she has feelings for Colin, with trust issues getting in the way is a bumpy road ahead , this is a simple love story about two people who deserve to be happy 🥰

Not only are Colin and Adalyn so sweet and charming but so is Harbor Falls! Sandi Lynn made this coastal town seem so realistic that I’m ready to pack my bags and move! Harbor Falls is a beautiful place to fall in love this book really hit the spot for me.
Love In Harbor Falls (Harbor Falls Series Book 1) is a well written second chance at love romance that tugged at my heart and because Colin and Adalyn were burned in the past, they deserve all the goodness. I also loved Colin and Adalyn’s friends and family who made a great storyline even better. This book is what small town dreams are made of and I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series.

Started out well enough. Adalyn had a kick in the heart when she discovered her husband’s duplicity. Enough to drive her out of New York for good.
She settles in a charming small town of busybodies. Harbor Falls. I would find it horribly claustrophobic but she’s charmed.
Lots of pregnancy, lost or missed chance pregnancy themes here.
She meets Colin, the town’s best friend and all around good guy. His own life was dealt a blow when his fiancée ran across country a week before their wedding g to meet up with an online hookup.
Drama ensues with both lousy exes.

Addy has her heart and marriage broken by her husband in New York City needing to leave she moves to Harbor Falls in South Carolina. Colin has had a broken heart and owns the local bar and grill while doing handyman work in the side. When they meet his broken heart comes alive but she is not having anything to do with romance. This is their story with such emotional feelings but when she realizes that Colin can be trusted and opens her heart is a beautiful thing.

What a difference between the first time I read this and the second time I've read this book. I loved it. I loved how they helped each other and how they started out as friends and then became lovers. They helped each other through difficult times that they had in their lives. Beautiful story. Love it

This book will definitely make you feel all the emotions. The relationship between Adalyn and Colin was amazing. The storyline flows smoothly and the added intrigue of the ex's showing up definitely added to excitement of the book. Sandi Lynn is an amazing writer and knows how to hook you into not putting a book down. Definitely 5 stars!

Colin and Adalyn welcome to Harbor Falls. Adalyn and Colin were both betrayed by the people who they thought loved them the most. Adalyn husband got a vasectomy without telling her and Colin’s fiancée called off wedding one week before wedding. They met in Harbor Falls and love did the rest.

not a bad read but not fabulous
Felt very rushed in some places, and if I read about his mouth curving up at the corners one
More time I was going to scream! I do like Sandi Lynn so not sure if this is one of her earlier books before her writing evolved! I’ve given it 3/5 it was cute enough but just lacked something for me

When life gets hard, Adalyn picks herself up and moves to Harbor Falls where life is much friendlier and her love life takes an upswing when Colin enters the picture. Sandi Lynn once again surrounds the reader with a wonderful setting, beautifully written characters and the right amount of sizzle and love. Cannot wait to see what happens in the next book.

It was an ok read and frankly didn't generate any feels, the execution wasn't great.
The small town vibe was nice but the H felt beta, it wasn't attractive at all and interactions between him and h were so monotonous and without any heat or chemistry.
It really felt like all the checkboxes were getting ticked and the characters very single dimensions.

It's such a heartwarming story of second chances. Sandi lynn never fails to keep the reader enthralled, and I'm excited to see where she takes this series.
This is a book that you have to add to your TBR

I truly love Colin and Adalyn together they are so cute. This town seems like something i could imagine true. Everyone knows everyone and helps each other. Adalyn really shows what forgiveness is and giving someone a second chance.
January 22, 2024
This one had promise for me, the heartbreak for the h with her husband was brutal. But it turned too cutesy for me midway, and the third act break up if we can call it that was just so wrong, given how long it took for them to actually officially get together it just felt unnecessary.

Sandi Lynn is truly amazing for my heart. Sandi shows me what true love and gentleman should really be like. I live in her stories every day and I hate leaving them. I can’t wait till the next book comes out and be on another adventure.

Sweet Romance
Both Colin and Adalyn had horrible experiences with love. It was great to see their romance evolve with a couple of hiccups. I must say I thought Adalyn would end up pregnant but maybe in Book 2?!
