This is a stirring and delightful visit to Rosemary Beach. There are changes in store and I was glued to my seat to see what would happen. This story was definitely a roller coaster of emotions, and I laughed and I cried. Heartwarming, compelling, and I loved every minute of my return to Rosemary Beach.

Sad

I love the characters. Glad Nessie decided to do what she did at the end of this book. But I'm still rooting for the two of them.

Like the first two boojs in this series, I enjoyed the characters and the setting. I thought this was the last book in the series but no... it wasn't! It ended somewhat suddenly with serval subplots left dangling.

Amazon synopsis:
Gloria's life takes a sharp turn when she learns that her son, a star college athlete, is entangled in a dire situation. Torn between her duty as a mother and the echoes of a past love, Gloria finds herself facing her ex-husband, who has reappeared with an agenda of his own. As Gloria grapples with old emotions and the urgency of her son's situation, she must confront whether her heart has truly healed, or if some ties are destined to remain unbroken.

Meanwhile, Vanessa is savoring her own second chance at love. After overcoming years of pain and regret, Vanessa and Noah have come back together. They are now faced with the challenge of redefining their relationship in a world that's changed since their youth. Can they really let go of thirty years of hurt?

Back to Rosemary Beach!

I love this series which follows behind the previous series set it Rosemary Beach. Things are really moving, with Vanessa and Emily owning their boutique and Gloria's son showing up in trouble with his college baseball team. Vanessa has reconnected with the father of her child, Noah, who is a big name lawyer in Miami. But how can they make a long-distance relationship work? Can Gloria help her son find his way?

The pace is fast and the tone is mostly upbeat yet uncertain too with a character oriented storyline that has no real steam or action. The characters are vivid and endearing. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next! Read these in order. Start with the Sweeney House series and then read this series.

Back to Rosemary Beach for another visit and catch up on what is happening there. This book has happiness and sadness; we are dealing with some tough topics and secrets. New beginnings for some and second chances for others, hope and forgiveness ever present. The newest member of the family is a Yorkie pup, with plenty of nicknames, but mainly called Pork Chop! I love how this family faces the toughest decisions head on and together.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

I really liked how event though I hadn't read the first two books you got enough information to know what had previously occurred. The dynamic between Gloria and her ex as well as their children was really interesting and seeing how things play out, then seeing how her sister is struggling with what going to happen between her and the father of her daughter. The mix of light hearted moments along with the high and lows you see them going through just like every day people really connects you to them and look forward to the next!

We have another heartwarming visit to Rosemary Beach in Cecelia Scott’s new book, Golden Sunsets in Rosemary Beach. There are some tough topics dealing with dementia and secrets from both the past and present with the capacity to tear families apart. But with some overwhelming emotions, hope and forgiveness, the heart of the family pulls together with the realization they may be able to weather most any storm. I highly recommend this wonderful book as well as the entire series!

Good book

While I am happy this series continues I am not really happy with how some of the characters lives remain unsettled. I am a happy ending kind of person and there are a couple of people that keep being selfish. Not sure how they can be so blind but just like real life they can't see the forest for the trees. Pork Chop was a fun addition and I can see her being the catalyst for Theo and Emily. Looking forward to the next book.

Golden Sunset in Rosemary Beach by Cecelia Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

And the series continues with another 5 star book. Book 3 which stands alone because Cecelia reminds us when the time is right, however I enjoy them more when reading in order.
So everyday topics are discussed including secrets, adoption, divorce, Dementia.. With the strength of families they hold each other up. A once broken family, they have finally come together in this heart warming book. Definitely not one to be missed.

Golden Sunsets in Rosemary Beach

This story was filled with so many good plots. The visit was the sisters mother. With the trip go Miami and trip right back home. Jeremy being accused of stealing the money and getting it straightened out. Reed staying. Gloria buying her home. Noah going back to Florida. I look forward to the next book.

Surprises, relationships with new beginnings, new adventures, some heartaches all topped off with a tiny little Yorkie pup named Pork Chop! The various other nicknames the family gives that tiny precious pup are hysterical! Loved this book!!!

Work. A 4 letter word

Loved this story but sad that relations get messed when one partner puts too much of their life in work, instead of family. Happy for ones that are working things out. Pray Noah comes thru for Nessi

I really enjoyed the next book in the Rosemary Beach series. Some relationships are developing, some are troubled, but there is hope for the future in each situation. Whether it’s a family complication or difficulty with a romantic partner, you can’t help but root for the characters. A little bit of a cliff hanger so anxiously awaiting the next in the series!
