I've been on a journey of reading new genres in Christian fiction, and I'm a sucker for a series. I just finished reading all three books in the Hope Beach series.

@colleencoble is known for her coastal romantic suspense novels, and all three kept me on the edge of my seat.

Any of these can be read as a stand-alone, but it's fun to see characters I "met" in the first book appear in the other two.

The first book in the series, Tidewater Inn, had a thread of family drama I could relate to while sucking me into the mystery of the kidnapping of the main character's friend.

In the second book, Rosemary Cottage, I joined Amy in trying to find closure around her brother's death. I love how special her cottage is to her. That's how I feel about my lake house. ;-)

In the final book, Seagrass Pier, I suspended disbelief when a donor-recipient of a heart got her heart and memories, too. It became an interesting source of angst, conflict, and progress toward solving several murders.

It was fun to add suspense to my reading list. I recommend any of the books in this series.

Why do the men order for the women when they're out to dinner...? And, yeah, God is important to me but the "What would Jesus Do?" moments were too common and cliche. Nothing was challenging me to think about my faith and the storyline.

I have to give it credit because I really wanted to know what happened at the end of the story, but I just couldn't get past the "sexual tension" and the "theirs a mysterious stranger out to get me" reflections of the characters.

I did not finish these books.

Four stars for book one. Three stars for the next two. I liked the main characters a lot, but the storylines of the second two, especially, suffered from lack of character development and believability. I really wasn’t too sure I liked the romance in the third one until about 3/4 through. The addition of secondary characters’ storylines was a nice touch, but it wasn’t developed well enough and felt quite sudden whenever one of them made a decision.

The Hope Beach trilogy is a fine example of Romantic Suspense novels

The Hope Beach trilogy is a fine example of Romantic Suspense novels which hold your interest, has believable characters and keeps you guessing until the end. These books have no long explicit sex scenes - a plus for me. I will read more of this author's books.

Hope, Faith and Love at Hope Beach

Tidewater Inn, Rosemary Cottage and Seagrass Pier all embody hope for the future, faith that God will see them through and the potential for the love (or loss thereof) of a lifetime. Definitely worth the reading.

The Hope Beach Collection

Loved this series. It gripped me right from the start. I have been a Colleen Coble fan ever since reading the upper Michigan series with the rescue dog. I recommend these books to all my friends.

I really enjoyed this historical novel. It brought the women to life for me and made the Bible come to life. Often the cultural difference from back in the Biblical times is hard to understand. This made the women personable and the stories made more sense to me.

Love her style. Many twists. Her characters are delightful. I have read 9 of her books. Can’t wait to start the next collection!!

[Pat Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recommend this series. I have read other Colleen Coble series too. I just read all three books in a row. I've never done that before.

[Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great series! I enjoyed all three stories very much!

[Lisa Whiteley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series but could be read as a stand alone.

Really good mystery with romance as a bonus. Left me on the edge of my seat most of the way.

[Debbie Proctor · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a great series especially if you like reading New England Beach fiction.

Enticing Read

This was a great mix of mystery, intrigue, and romance! I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy read.

[Renee Yoder · Rating 5 out of 5]

I truly loved this series and how the stories were woven together. The mystery of each book drew me in from the very beginning and I related to the characters and their lives. The endings were always very suspenseful and yet surprising too. I would read these books again!!

[Debbie Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

An awesome collection by Colleen Coble. I loved all 3 books. They had everything in them. Well worth the read.

Collagen Coble knocks it out of the park!

I am always looking for books that keep me reading. This Trilogy does the job and then some. I will read more of her work.

Engaging storylines!

These were intriguing suspense romances that showed God's influence on the characters. Very refreshing! I couldn't wait to finish them, yet sad they are done...

Fun read

These books were fun murder mysteries. I read them on vacation in the Outer Banks. What could be better. I recommend them.

[Bonnie Sogoloff · Rating 1 out of 5]

Three soap operas perfect for daytime TV minus the Christian proselytizing.

[Diane Large · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting mysteries all in the same location with the main characters flowing from one story to the next.
