Rosewood Beach #7
A New Chapter in Rosewood Beach
A feel-good family saga about taking chances, following your heart, and finding love at any age.
Surrounded by the bustling warmth of The Lighthouse Grill, Vivian Owens has everything she could ever ask for. Well… almost everything. Even as her children thrive around her, she’s still watching from the sidelines, reluctant to step into the spotlight of her own story.
When a car accident leaves her stranded outside of town, it’s her friend Terrence Rawlins who comes to her rescue. In a moment of clarity—or maybe recklessness—Vivian does something that surprises them she kisses him. And that one impulsive gesture cracks open the door to possibilities she’s been too afraid to consider.
Terrence has liked Vivian from the moment they met—even back when she bristled at the sight of him. As their contentious beginnings grew into a close friendship, he’s been patient, determined to be there for her and give her heart time to heal. Now, with that unexpected kiss lingering between them, he hopes she’s finally ready to take a chance on love again.
But dating at this stage of life feels like navigating uncharted waters, and Vivian can’t help the doubts that creep in. Is she betraying Frank’s memory? Has she forgotten how to open her heart? As she cautiously steps into a relationship with Terrence, she also finds herself pursuing a long-abandoned passion that reminds her just how much life still has to offer.
Meanwhile, as Alexis counts down the final weeks of her pregnancy, everyone is anxious to meet the little one. Faith contemplates her future with Ryan, and Noelle encourages Dean to take some pressure off of himself by bringing on a partner at the mechanic shop.
Take a trip to Rosewood Beach, where the water is warm, the sand is soft, and the Owens family is waiting to welcome you into their lives! This sweet and uplifting women’s fiction series is the perfect bookish escape.

Friends to lovers is not my first pick but this one was pretty good! The pacing was slow and compared to previous books, the romance was nothing to write home about but it still felt safe to me.
Out of all the characters in the series so far, I’d say Vivian is the most relatable in terms of trying new adventures, seeing what works, and stepping out of her comfort zone. She and Terrance were just so good for each other!
Thank you to BNA for an ALC of this title. All opinions are my own.

I listened to the audiobook that is narrated by Amy McFadden and produced by Blue Nose Audio.
We get to continue our journey with Vivian! I've been waiting to see if she will see that she still has things to live for and try new things, and we got it in this book. We also get to see how Dean is continuing to handle his diagnosis and working. Faith also has questions about her relationship with Ryan that she has to face.
This series continues to be great!

Sorry but to me this one was super slow. Just hard to get into it. I’ve read the first 6 and unfortunately the last 2 were not that interesting. Would I recommend them? Probably the first 5 but not the last 2.

I’m determined to finish this sweet series…not sure how many more stories there are….

Love it
It was wonderful to know about the people in previous books and the story was very good. Can't wait for more.

This book was a really good read. A continuation of the Rosewood Beach series but this one focused on Vivian. It's hard to imagine being a widow when you are still such an active, energetic person. Grief takes on all different forms and phases. But as you move out of that intense grief, you start thinking where does my life go now, how do you feel about romance, can i really let go. These are things that Vivian faces, you should give this book a read to find out how she coops.
