The Women of Brambleberry House #1
The Daddy Makeover
The iceman cometh.—
Hotel mogul Eben Spencer had learned long ago to keep his eye on the ball and his emotions under wraps. And where had this philosophy got him so far? In business, to the pinnacle of success. And in his personal life, it had brought him one beloved, if unhappy, little girl, and one shattered marriage. And he was not about to embark on another one anytime soon.—But then he met Sage Benedetto. The bewitching nature girl was everything Eben was not—warm, emotional, open—and everything he'd never dreamed he'd want. But lately he was having very different dreams.—

About the author
RaeAnne Thayne
311 books3,852 followersI'm not one of those people who knew from birth she was destined to become a writer. I always loved to read and throughout my childhood I could usually be found with a book in my hands. To the disgust of my friends, I even enjoyed creative writing assignments that made them all groan. But I had other dreams besides writing. I wanted to be an actress or a teacher or a lawyer.
Life took a different turn for me, though, when my mother made me take a journalism elective in high school (thanks, Mom!). I knew the first day that this was where I belonged.
After I graduated from college in journalism, I took a job at the local daily newspaper and I reveled in the challenge and the diversity of it. One day I could be interviewing the latest country music star, the next day I was writing about local motorcycle gangs or interviewing an award-winning scientist.
Through it all -- through the natural progression of my career from reporter to editor -- I wrote stories in my head. Not just any stories, either, but romances, the kind of books I have devoured since junior high school, with tales about real people going through the trials and tribulations of life until they find deep and lasting love.
I had no idea how to put these people on paper, but knew I had to try -- their stories were too compelling for me to ignore. I sold my first book in 1995 and now, more than 30 books later, I've come to love everything about writing, from the click of the computer keys under my fingers to the "that's-it!" feeling I get when a story is flowing.
I write full-time now (well, as full-time as I can manage juggling my kids!) amid the raw beauty of the northern Utah mountains.
Even though I might not have dreamed of being a writer when I was younger, now I simply can't imagine my life any other way.

This cover is an embarrassment, and the title only slightly less so. If the story were better, that'd be a real tragedy. As it stands, it's just as well that it's unlikely anyone will be enticed into this pile of trope fewmets.
Both protagonists are shallow representations of their type. Eben is the widower business mogul struggling to understand his young daughter. He broods a lot and does important business things and is unaccountably drawn to the free-spirited nature-girl, Sage. She's the Oregon-coast neo-hippie chick warry of responsibility and getting her feelz hurt. They dance around their attraction and find beautiful sights beautiful and fall in love in a shockingly short time despite both of them simply wallowing in negatively motivated* paralysis.
I wasn't quite as cynical about the story until the last chapters, actually. I mean, it was surface, sure, but Thayne is a decent writer and I love that Oregon coast area and could picture it so acutely that I was along for the ride. Those last chapters, though . . . Man. Thayne broke out every cliché imaginable, including a highly unlikely scene with Chloe (the eight year-old daughter) pulling a dangerous stupid that made no sense, whatsoever, just so they can be thrown together more. I mean,
And then Thayne doubled down on the stupids with These people make zero sense.
So we're ending with two stars, but only because the sense of place was so strong and it's an area I love.
A note about Chaste: There's way too much kissing for two people who are desperate not to fall in love. Which was also stupid. But no sex so this qualifies for chaste. Even though the story sucked.
* Negative Motivations: I kind of hate that the term "negative motivation" isn't widespread, yet. Since it isn't, I'm going to save off this little jag to append to my reviews that feature the term. Jennifer Crusie blogged about it a bit back and it changed how I understand story. The problem with the term is that if you've never heard it before, you'd assume it meant motivations that are harmful or immoral. Not so. What it refers to is motivations not to do something. The thing is that many of us are motivated to not do things for a lot of different, perfectly valid and reasonable, reasons. The problem is that in a story motivations to not do things are a huge drag on the plot—particularly considering the fact that most negative motivations are overcome by the character simply deciding they don't care any more (or, rather, that they do care and are now motivated to do the thing). So not only do you have a counter to action but you also have a situation where to overcome it, all a character has to do is change their mind. Which means eventually, the reader is rooting for the character to get over him/herself already and do the thing we want them to do. Conflict drives story. Conflict between a reader and a main character drives readers away from story.

Cute story, if a bit rushed as it takes place in the space of a week or so. Just what's expected from this type of book, but, as usual, this author is able to create believable characters that the reader cares about.
On to the next book in this series.

I liked: the theme- love is always something good to read about, it even gets better if some loss and fear are involved.
Overview: Rich Dad to Chloe, meets Sage-simple and full of life lady and he's in love, she loves him too but she believes that his world is nothing like hers and she wouldn't be good to him, and the eight year old girl-Chloe, believes that her Dad is the best Dada and she wants him around more often than anyone else.
Award: 3 stars
Reason: There's the story and you read along knowing that Eben (the rich hot guy with green eyes) will indeed conquer Sage's heart- you read hoping that she admits she loves him too
Read it: Because it is time well spent on a story about love.

1.5ish stars! It just frustrated me how the issues weren't really dealt with and they were just glossed over. Everything wrapped up so fast and I was left feeling unsatisfied. Also I didn't really believe that they were in "love". Meh...

Liked Conan the big, red dog. :)
Sage is a naturalist, interesting career.
Chloe, 8 yr old daughter is dynamic.
I must admit..i am tired of insta-love so that skewed me against the book.

An older book by Thayne and I think her skill has improved since but still a sweet book about love. I wish she had tied up more details for the ending but this was only a minor distraction.

Good Read
A little slow getting there,but when it does,it gets really good.A love story with a lot of twists and turns.

I didn't hate it. I'm a little biased since I love the real Cannon Beach, so anything set there is going to make me nostalgic. (Despite the fact that I'm all of an hour's drive from it and could literally just go there right now if I wanted to. Nostalgia's a slippery beast.)
The story itself got a little hokey, I have to admit. I could probably sum up the whole story arc with: I HATE YOU OMG NOT REALLY JK I LOVE YOU LET'S MAKE BBs. We could have saved a lot of trees by just printing that on the paper and sending it out to her readers. But the setting and the dog saved it for me. I tried -- and mostly succeeded -- in not tossing the book out while rolling my eyes, and if you ignore the fact that they had like a year's worth of relationship in roughly fourteen minutes, it really wasn't bad. Cute, even.
From what I understand, this is an older book of the author's, and her plotting skill has grown exponentially. I've read a few of her newer titles, and have to say that I agree -- you can see the little seeds of a good writer in this one, and it definitely underscores the adage of practice makes perfect.
It's worth the few hours' diversion if you can suspend your disbelief a little, though. :)

Eben and the Naturist, Sage B., Make Four! 3.75*****Spoiler Alert!
Eben Spencer, hotelier single dad, widower, returned to Cannon Beach to purchase Sea Urchin Inn from the Wus. Only to have his eight year old daughter, Chloe, Conan the dog, and Abigail's spirit, work their matchmaking skills on Eben and Sage Benedetto as they fell in lust, like, and love. Sage's understanding of Chloe, stemmed from her abandoned childhood insecurities after her mother's death, by her workaholic father/surviving parent. She projected her feelings and fears upon Eben, especially when he considered sending 'nanny-destroying ' Chloe to boarding school. Tempers flared, but they reconciled into a HEA!
Great characters especially that of the recently deceased Abigail, along with this rapidly evolving, predictable, romantic plot which created this novel's gravity defying appeal. The theme of grief and loss of a loved one altering one's path in life, courses throughout this novel. A quick Summer read!

Eben Spencer is at his wits' end with his 8 year old daughter. He blames her bad behavior on missing her mother, dead for two years, but the real issue is whether he will send her away to boarding school so as not to interfere with his business of running a global hotel business.
Sage Benedetto runs a children's camp during the summer, teaching her charges all about the ocean and the shore around Cannon Beach. When little Chloe begs Eben to let her attend, Sage reluctantly takes on the little girl and soon finds herself falling in love with the child and her father--not something she planned or wanted to do.
But after Eben finalizes the purchase of the Victorian Hotel on Cannon Beach and prepares to leave, both of them realize that no longer seeing each other is antithetical to what they really want. But they are so different, seem to want what the other doesn't appreciate. Or are they? Do they?

Great start to a new-to-me series!
There are a lot of nuances in this story. It is totally character oriented with no major action or steam. I think Chloe, the 8-year-old daughter was the best character of them all. Her father Eben takes a little longer to get to know, but he really tries his best to take care of Chloe, and doesn't always succeed, which most parents will recognize! Sage is a cool character, with her huge dog Conan, that she shares with Anna her housemate, and her job as a naturalist, teaching others to love and respect nature. All of these characters are complex and we watch them grow and develop.
The whole story takes place in a week, yet the pace feels relaxed. The tone is emotional. Like I said there are many nuances to this character driven story. But if this sounds good to you, I can assure you that it is great! Try it and enjoy!

This was short and sweet novel! It's less than 300 pages and I read it in two days.
It's a clean romance, no sex scenes and only one use of the b- word towards the beginning.
While I liked Sage, I wish she wasn't a sourpuss so often. I don't really enjoy characters who hold everyone at arms length because they are afraid of getting hurt. I'm glad that Sage was written in a way where she felt bad for her snooty behavior and started to make small adjustments, becoming better friends with her roommate especially.
I liked Eben (that's a weirdest name for a man I've ever heard btw, I never got used to it), but I felt similarly about him. His transition from cold to warm was smooth. The title made perfect sense for him.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Such a great story
This a great story about getting past grief, past hurts, and new future. Sage is having a hard time after the death of her friend and benefactor Abigail. She inherited half of Brambleberry house but has a hard time liking the woman who inherited the other half. She knows most is petty feelings but they are teal. Then enters mischievous impulsive eight year old Chloe and her dad , Eben . At first Eben reminds Sage of her father and her rough childhood. As Sage navigates her grief, she comes to realize that neither Anna nor Eben are what she originally thought and so much love could be coming her way

A cute and clean story. It does happen quickly over a week, but I really enjoyed reading the story. being a frequent visitor of Cannon Beach and the area around, I thought it was awesome how accurately the close by towns and scenery was described. There was a couple times toward the end that I felt like I would possibly need a tissue. I love that Sage connected so well with Chloe, but saddened that it was because she felt a connection with Chloe because she felt like Eben treated Chloe like her dad had treated her as a child. So glad Sage was able to talk him out of sending her to boarding school and that they connected one last time before Eben and Chloe left for California.

A man on a mission to acquire and a girl with a neglected background have to issues to work out when they meet and are attracted to each other.
Eben has a daughter Chloe who sneaks out in the early morning to look for sand dollars and meets Sage.
Sage is a naturalist who runs a camp for kids in Cannon Beach, Oregon teaching about nature. This sounds like a lovely job.
Sage has a way with Chloe and it brings Eben and Sage together over the course of the book.

Okay story
Not one of Ms Thayne's best stories. Sage has a habit of jumping to conclusions constantly. I liked Eben. I don’t like how much he ignores Chloe, is daughter. But I guess if these didn’t happen, there wouldn't be much of a story. This book needs at least an epilogue. How did the H/h handle the logics of each of their occupations? Just need a little more explanation of how they handled their situation. Did Sage sell her portion of Brambleberry House? Did Eben and Chloe move in with Sage? Just questions that could be answered with an epilogue.

Can 2 people get past their fear to be happy
Another well written book by RaeAnne Thayne. Once again she gives us a small town setting with characters I would love to have as friends, problems of fear of trust, back stories that I, for one, could understand and sympathize and a little sense of predestination. Enjoyed this book and related both to story and to people who were written about. Would rate it at 4 1/2 *.

It was satisfying as usual. I. Always a sucker for the single parent story! Sage is a nature girl, living in Brambleberry house with Anna after inheriting it from Abigale. When Sage finds Chloe alone on the beach during her morning run she is highly irritated with Chloe’s rich, cold, handsome father- mainly because he reminds her of her own father who shared the same characteristics. Their lives intersect while Eben stays in the town trying to buy a hotel. Will they fall for each other?

Opposites Attract
As I am vacationing on the Oregon Coast, I looked for a novel set in the area. I’m glad I picked such a good one! I enjoyed meeting Sage, the naturalist and Eben, the millionaire businessman and his eight-year-old daughter, who becomes enthralled by Sage, her camp leader. Conan, the big red dog also plays a role in bringing Eben and Sage together in an unlikely romance.

We’re reading this book in RaeAnne Thayne’s Facebook book this month. I’m reading all in the series. I definitely always start a series from the beginning and read them all when I love the authors books.
Abigail leaves her home when she died which includes three apartments to Sage and Anna.Abigail seems to make some mysterious visits. I know she truly loved these women.

Quick read. Heartwarming story
Not what I originally expected. To be honest, I was expecting something more like Nora Robert’s Inn Boonsboro series. This was simply heartwarming and relaxing. The pacing was very well done, the characters were introduced with the perfect combination of history and mystery, which left me looking forward to reading their stories in the coming books.

Bad,bad,bad. One of my favorite authors but this book was terrible. She repeated herself constantly on what the characters thought of each other. BORING. and the little girl needed a good old fashioned spanking. No one wants to see a child like that in public let alone read page after page of the tantrums.

Loved It!
I enjoyed this story very much. It shows that first impressions aren’t always what they seem to be. It’s a story about letting go of past hurts and heartbreak and opening your heart to new beginnings, with a little help from beyond.

A nice little romance in a pretty setting (coastal Oregon). He's the bigshot owner of a hotel chain, she's an earth goddess skeptical of wealth and privilege. But really, they have something in common. Ended too soon, but a good story.

The House on Cannon Beach
Another great story from RoseAnne Thayne . She always brings a few giggles along with a few tears as feelings and past hurts are untangled. The addition of an unpredictable child just adds to the story.

The beach run
A perfect fall in love beach read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters lives as they were falling in love with each other. I hope this story is not over now that I'm completely hooked I want to see where they go from there.

Typical Raeanne
Nice story. The first of the series and I look forward to the rest. While a bit predictable I find Raeanne's calming stories a break from my busy life.
