Book 16 of the series done, can't wait for the next book 17 Cape May Snowflakes not out yet.

This book wraps up with each of the couples taking next steps and starting new projects and adventures, making new friends. Wonderful read had a little mystery when Margaret and Dave purchase a fixer upper near the beach only to discover love letters and the diary of the homes original owners why they renovate. As they read the letters and diary they are following the story until it abruptly ends - mystery is to see where their story lead and the secrets they find along the way.

Heart warming, wholesome book series about the beautiful village of Cape May, NJ.

I have now read all 16 books in Claudia Vance’s Cape May series and have thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. Book 16 - Cape May Dreams continues the story of the wonderful cast of friends. Having grown up in NJ and visited Cape May many times, I love the way she brings me back to familiar places in her telling of the stories. I can actually picture the charming town in mind.

Another great one.

Another great one in a wonderful series. Each book is a pleasant journey. Finishing it makes you want the next one. Now have the new one in the Ocean City series to read. …I always pick a rainy day to start and finish the book. Once I start it I can’t put it down.
Thank you
