Coral Sands #3
Coastal Reflections
Escape to Coral Sands, a charming seaside town where second chances, sweet romance, and family ties are waiting for you!
With The Birchwood House up and running, Audrey, Elaine, and Michelle are flying high. Michelle has found her stride welcoming guests at the front desk, and Elaine has struck up an unexpected friendship with Shep Townsend, the gruff local baker she convinced to supply the hotel’s pastries.
It isn’t until her daughter and granddaughter point it out that Elaine realizes her feelings for Shep might be more than just friendly. After so many years as a widow, she has no idea how to navigate the giddy ups and downs of a crush anymore, and she finds herself totally out of her depth, unsure what to do next.
Meanwhile, Audrey is falling harder for Evan every day, savoring the joy of being with someone who truly cheers her on—until her world is turned upside down by the last person she ever expected to see in Coral Sands: her ex-husband.
This unwelcome reminder of everything she left behind leaves Audrey reeling, especially once she discovers why Clark has really come to town. Can she stand up to the man who once broke her heart… and who now wants to take even more from her?
Leave your worries behind and pay a visit to Coral Sands, a picturesque small town on the coast of Maine filled with a cast of characters you’ll come to love. This warm and uplifting women’s fiction story is a reminder that it’s never too late to start over, and that everything is sweeter with family and friends by your side!

Elaine, Audrey and Michelle are enjoying running the Birchwood House and their hard work has been rewarded with glowing reviews. Ellaine's good mood is spoiled by the arrival in town of ex-husband Clark and his young girlfriend. Meanwhile, two prospective romances might materialize. Elaine has a major crush on grump baker Shep and Michelle wonders if Theo might not be her arch-enemy after all. I love this three generation story line and the small town atmosphere. I recommend this series to anyone who likes sweet positive stories.

The chemistry between Shep and Elaine unfolds like a warm tide — slow, steady, and full of promise, just like Coral Sands. Birchwood House becomes a beacon, drawing the town and this family closer. But when Audrey's ex‑husband storms in with his outrageous agenda, the calm shatters and the tension rises. Fiona writes with such pull that you can’t stop reading. I wished the story would go on forever.

a supportive group of family and friends.
Love blossomed slowly and decently and remarkably for three generations. How fun that the conniving x-husband was put in his place. The mansion was restored to a stunning success. A wonderful and comfortable story.

Loved this book. I have 3 so far in this series.
Shep and Elaine's story was most special. I can't wait to read book 4 in this series.
