Feels Like Home #1-6
A Coastline Retreat Books 1-6
Everything changed when Ally was pronounced dead for exactly 3 minutes.
Forty-one, widowed, and an empty nester. That was Ally’s life before the accident.
In those brief moments on the other side she saw vast blue waters, endless coastline, and the familiar sound of her best friends laugh.
Spurred on by these images, she contacts an estranged friend about her family home in Maine which needs to be sold.
Arriving on the island to find the house in much worse shape than she ever imagined, Ally becomes the talk of the village – and the object of a handsome local man’s affection. Trying to juggle the house renovations, her old friend, and dating – it’s a whole new world.
Through impulsive romances, rekindled relationships and discovering a family past she never knew about, Ally finds out that her life is only just beginning.
This feel-good beachside read is the perfect escape from everyday life.
If women's fiction and clean romance are your thing, this series is a must-read for you!

Nice little series
This is a review of the six books in the series. There are many things to like about this series. Each book is a quick read. Everything dovetails nicely. The characters are all likeable and all has a happy ending. There are a few irritating things. Why must we write our older women characters acting like teenagers. Butterflies in the stomach, constant blushing, tongue tied etc. My god, you have adult children and in one case a grandchild!

Change is good
Beginnings can be hard when you're alone. Finding joy in your adventures and the people you meet are what life is about. Learning to live and just be can be a challenge, but when you yield... it's what living is all about. Growth is an everyday thing. We all need to allow newness and just live.

Home family
A lighthearted, fun, and fast- paced read. An inheritance that leads to new ideas and trips to faraway places and finding oneself along the way. A family brought together through love.

Love, love, love!
I literally had just returned from an island off of Maine so I could picture everything in this book. It was a great family and community story that kept me reading. I can't wait to read another series.

What a group of happy misfits!
This little island in Maine produced quite a group of family and friends that eventually converged at this Russo House and produced hope, happiness and plenty of grief. I'm they all wound up with a happily ever after.

Awesome book.

This set of stories was ok. I had hoped it would would have been more focused on the Maine house, instead of Ally traveling to Italy, Scotland and Greece.

Good thriller. Somebody need to figure out why the books are so poorly edited. Never seen books with so many spelling and grammatical errors.

People you would call friend.
I loved the series. The people, their personalitys and backgrounds made for many twists and turns in the story. A good read.

Fun series of short, easy reads. A little drawn out in the major love story plot, which, combined with quite a few spelling and grammatical errors, keeps this from being a five star read for me.
