Moonlight Bay #5
The Beachside Bed and Breakfast
The local quilting club has matchmaking in mind in this enchanting small‑town romance perfect for fans of Debbie Mason, Sheila Roberts, and RaeAnne Thayne.
Innkeeper Ashley Howland Scott inherited Howland House and the adjacent Rose Cottage from her grandmother. Her grandmother hosted weekly meetings of the local quilting club, and those ladies know all the gossip in town.
The new minister, Micah St. Pierre, is the subject of more than his fair share of that gossip. Micah has spent a decade as a Navy Chaplain and his experience in combat has deeply challenged his faith. He’s come back home because he also feels guilty about the way he abandoned his younger brothers and father when they needed him most.
The Quilting Club thinks Micah’s problems can be solved by finding him a wife. And they have a woman in mind. But despite the fact that Ashley finds him attractive, she closely guards her heart. She loved her husband very much, but his early death has left its mark. She’s also deeply worried about her young son. Jackie clearly needs a male role model, but is Micah St. Pierre the right one?

The Beachside Bed & Breakfast by Hope Ramsay is a 2022 Forever publication.
This is a book I added as part of my summer beach reading binge, despite the fact it is the fifth book in the series. For the record, it can be read as a stand-alone, though there are some hints at past relationship issues that aren’t addressed here. This didn’t damper my enjoyment of this story, though.
The story is centered around Ashley, a widow, who runs a bed & breakfast she inherited from her grandmother. Her father has moved in with her, while raising her son, Jackie.
Micha St. Pierre, a local minister, wants to marry, but his choices are limited due to the church’s rules about dating his church members… which means he must ignore his attraction to Ashley.
Each must decide if they are willing to make the necessary changes so they can be together, or if they should accept that it just wasn't meant to be.
This is a cute story, mostly clean, with some mild language and closed-door sexual situations, but the plot is a bit uneven at times- maybe because there were too many things going on at once, with several threads coming to a hurried conclusion.
Despite that, this is a warm, feel-good story, overall, and enjoyed Ashley and Micha’s journey to HEA- land.

This is a purely delightful book and the fifth in the Monlight Bay series.
Very heartwarming, it'll touch your heart with it's delightful characters and small town charm.
A widowed Mom,Ashley is not interested in dating again after all she has a young son to care for and runs Magnolia Harbor's only bed and breakfast,not to mention her widowed father lives with her as well.
Killed in action in Afghanistan five years ago her husband was it for her, all she needed. Still grieving she can't see her way to loving another man despite being told it's time to move on and some are trying to play matchmaker for her.
Rev. Micah St. Pierre has become Ashley's friend with them spending time together as he's helping her recover from her husband's death. Seeing him every week at church she can't help but notice how handsome he is,kind,thoughtful and everything a woman could possibly want in a man, just not her.
Micah couldn't love his congregation more, it's his calling but the woman he loves is a member of his congregation and acting on his feelings of love would cost him his career. I enjoyed seeing the sweet interaction between Micah and Ashley and how their relationship tenderly grows.
I also liked the character Danny, a troubled older teen who lost his parents and is feeling lost but others are trying to help him.
I am hoping to see some of these characters in a future book.
Heartwarming and inspirational, wonderful read!

At last, the Reverend Micah St. Pierre and widowed B&B owner, Ashley Scott are getting their story and I was all for it after seeing the little sparks of more than friendship coming off this pair since the first book. It was never going to be easy so I was excited to see what long-time enjoyable author, Hope Ramsay did with their story.
The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is the fifth standalone contemporary romance story in the Moonlight Bay series. Though, standalone in the strict sense, the series is full of small connections that work best when read in order.
The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is brimming with family heritage, past connections, and other relationship ties in a small town setting surrounding the spotlighted romance. Micah’s St. Pierre roots in the Gullah culture and his issues with his parents play a strong role in his background and choices just as Ashley’s maternal Howland roots are what brought her to Magnolia Harbor to take over Howland House which she inherited from her grandmother after her husband died overseas fighting in the war. The Howlands and St. Pierres have a connection long in their pasts and now in the present.
But, it’s complicated.
Ashley has been grieving her husband’s loss still and has no intention of marrying let alone opening her heart again. Micah is an Episcopalian priest and the church bylaws don’t allow for a priest dating one of his parishioners. He has tried moving on and she has shunted away any pesky feelings and attractions. But, his attempt to choose another woman were a flat fail that caught the attention of his Altar Guild and the ladies get busy matchmaking and her attempt leaves her feeling hollow and irksome particularly now her dad is meddling at the inn and with her imaginative son who believes the ghost of pirate Captain Teal is in the big tree in their yard.
Something’s gotta give.
And, it does, but does it lead to a loving pair or parting for good?
Meanwhile, the St. Pierre’s second brother, Colton, who has made a big deal about remaining untethered and fancy free of relationship ties outside his brothers has taken on a wayward kid with deep issues from his parents’ deaths and his grandmother’s indifference and he has returned his interest to a woman he had a past encounter with. Will the wild brother be able to settle down at last?
Like many small town romances, this one is gently paced and packed full of more going on than the romance- or romances, in this case. The author layered the story with social struggles to anchor it in reality, with character flaws and weaknesses paired with strengths and endearing qualities to make the cast engaging and complex, and brought the series full circle as the old Howland-St. Pierre past and current saga is brought to a close. Parts lagged and I got frustrated with Ashley and Micah a few times, but over all this book brought the feels and had me cheering for all the main players to get their happy resolve right down to Ashley’s son who faced bullies, his dad’s death, and his ghost.
I am unsure if this is the final book in the series though it sure felt like it and Micah and Ashley finding resolution and healing does seem to cap things off nicely. I wouldn’t say no to more Moonlight Bay, but I am well-satisfied if this was it. Those looking for small town romance with a hint of spice and well-layered backdrop should definitely consider this book and series.
I rec'd an eARC through NetGalley to read in exchange for an honest review.

This is the fifth book of the Moonlight Bay series, but it is the first one I've read. The book can be read as a standalone, so anyone could pick this up without having read the others.
Ashley Scott is a widow who owns Howland House, a bed and breakfast in the small town of Magnolia Harbor. She inherited the house and the cottage adjacent when her grandmother died. Asheley and her young son live there, and currently her father is living there as well. The new minister, Micah St. Pierre, has just had his marriage proposal rejected publicly and his congregation is trying to matchmake. Micah has feelings for Ashley, but can't follow that path because she is a member of his congregation and the church frowns on a minister dating anyone in their congregation.
This is a romance novel, and there's a little controversy involved. It's a light read and an interesting story. I enjoyed reading about the town busybodies trying to get a wife for Micah, and I liked the author's writing style. The subplots in the story added some interest - Colton and Danny especially.
Thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an advance copy. This book will be published on August 23, 2022.

In a small coastal town in North Carolina a lot is going on. Micah is a biracial Episcopalian priest and almost forty. He’d wants to get married. Ashley, the person he is interested in, is a member of his congregation dating her could cost him his job. Ashley is an army widow with an eleven year old son Jackie who is being bullied and thinks a ghost lives in their bed and breakfast. She is finally ready to start dating again and is attracted to Micah but the ladies of the church are creating a list of who to set up with their priest. There is a lot of other stuff happening and lots and lots of gossip.
This is a light read and reminded me a bit of the Mitford series because a main character is a priest. I liked the characters and the pacing. There is gossip, family drama on many fronts and good neighbors trying to lend a hand. It’s a feel good novel. If that is what you’re looking for I think you will enjoy this story. It is the first in the new Moonlight Bay series by Hope Ramsay. The book is clean for language with some has kissing and one scene of intimacy off the page (not the priest). Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an eARC in exchange for a review. (3.5 stars)

Overcoming the past and going forward is the theme of The Beachside Bed and Breakfast. I was looking forward to getting to know Micah and Ashley and their story.
I feel that there were just too many different storylines going on within the story with so many characters. I was getting invested in Micah and Ashleys story which was what I wanted to know more about. But, I felt let down with all the other storylines going on,.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and do enjoy the authors writing style. I think I will reread this in a few months and see if I like it better.

Cosy, sentimental, and sweet!
The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is a magical, heartfelt tale set in the idyllic Moonlight Bay that takes you into the lives of two main characters. Ashley Howland Scott, a young mother and widow whose main focus is raising her son and taking care of the visitors who stay at the inn she recently inherited from her grandmother, and Micah St. Pierre, a former Navy Chaplain turned small-town minister who seems to be the newest project for the local quilting club to find a wife and who unfortunately has a forbidden crush on one of his parishioners.
The prose is light and hopeful. The characters are lonely, supportive, and considerate. And the plot is a tender, engaging tale about life, loss, love, marriage, parenthood, family, friendship, attraction, self-discovery, heartfelt moments, taking chances, happiness, a sliver of the paranormal, and small-town life.
Overall, The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is another winsome, charming, uplifting tale by Ramsay that I think is a lovely addition to the Moonlight Bay series with its endearing characters and heartening storyline.

I didn’t realize this book was part of a series.
I liked the cover which is mainly why I wanted to read it.
Ashley and Micah have been friends for awhile. They like each other and both wish for more. Only he’s the Rev. and he’s not supposed to date someone from his congregation.
While I enjoyed the story there were parts that left me wondering why they were included in the story. I’m not sure they brought anything extra to the book.
Thanks to the publisher for the early copy

The Moonlight Bay series is one I’ve really enjoyed. I love the quaint, small town, complete with quirky characters and nosey neighbors. The southern, beachside setting is particular compelling because it reminds me of a place that is near and dear to my heart.
Single mother Ashley Scott runs the bed and breakfast in Moonlight Bay, having taken it over from her aunt after Ashley's husband died serving the country. She really doesn’t have time for romance, yet a friendship is developing between her and the single minister.
Reverend Micah St. Pierre needs a wife. But as the priest of the Episcopal church in a small town, that’s not an easy task. Especially once the church ladies get wind of it. Plus, the church has rules, and a potential wife needs to come from outside his flock.
Something new from Ramsay in this book is the proverbial waving of the SJW flag. Whether or not I agree with her points is irrelevant, but leave the social justice (and political) agendas out of fiction unless it's pivotal to the story. Things are so controversial these days and an author runs the risk of alienating a lot of readers by highlighting a specific viewpoint. Many of us read to escape the mess the real world is in, so please, for the love of all things romance, give us an escape we can all enjoy.
While I’m not comfortable recommending this particular book to all readers, I’ve read many other stories from this author and loved them all. The Last Chance series is particularly heartwarming and charming, so you might want to start there.

Micah St.Pierre is the new minister at Ashley's church. He gets down on one knee to propose to his girl but she runs away which he guesses means no. He kicks himself for doing it in public. I mean, how embarrassing! He only did it because he knows everyone want him to have a wife. The quilting circle which Ashley is a member of, quickly decides they will find him a wife. Ashley doesn't like them getting involved so she offers to help only to warn Micah of the ladies intentions. So what if she finds him attractive. She has an inn to run and a troubled teenage boy, Jackie to raise. She can't forget her husband even if he's been gone forever.
Micah has always had a thing for Ashley. He jumps every time Jackie needs a male figure. He stares every time Ashley walks by but to tell her? He absolutely can not!! He can't date within his own Parrish. It's a rule.
I loved this sweet, romance filled with family troubles, dating mishaps and will they, won't they vibes.

This is another lovely double romance in the Moonlight Bay series. The main romance is a forbidden love trope. Ashley is finally "waking up" after having lost her husband. Unfortunately, the man she's having feelings for is the pastor at her church. Her life is also pretty complicated. Besides running the Bed and Breakfast, she has a son who appears to be acting out and her grieving father who has moved in and thinks he has ALL the answers.
Micah is a man who lives strictly by the rules and laws and it's forbidden for him to date someone from his church. He's very attracted to Ashley and also has feeling for her son, but there's no way he can even kiss Ashley. It's forbidden. He's used to taking care of others and his parish relies on him.
I always love it when there is a secondary romance! The one in this book is also messy and complicated, but double the love! Ramsay always writes delicious books of love and family.
Thanks to Forever Publishing for the gifted copy. All thoughts are my own.

Ashley Scott owns a B&B, is a widow, and has an 11-year-old son, Jackie. Her father recently moved in with her after her mom died. He's a former military man. Reverend Micah St. Pierre recently came to the island. He's been the talk of lots of gossip from the older ladies in his congregation. Especially after proposing to a local girl in the coffee shop and refusing. Micah has always been attracted to Ashley but she's a member of his congregation. I guess that is against the rules. So they must remain friends. As a formerly religious person, this book was a tad too churchy for me. But I persevered and tried to separate the church from the people. The book was a fun romance that had me shaking my head. This is the 5th book in the series and my first. It can be read as a standalone but I kept wondering about the backstories of Micah's family. I'm definitely going to go back and read the beginning of the series.

Ashley Howland Scott runs the B&B in Magnolia Harbor across the street lives the Rev. Micah St. Pierre. Ashley is a widow with a young son. She found letting go of grief for husband has been hard for her. Micah is her church's pastor and is single. Micah is not allowed by the church to date his church members. Micah has been dating another local woman who doesn't attend his church and decides to pop the question; she says no. Ashley is slowing starting to realize that she is interested in Micah, but he tells her they can't date.
There is a lot of interaction with Micah's brothers who live in town and the rest of his family. Ashley's son Jackie is being bulled at school and feels his mother is neglecting him. Overall, this is a heartfelt story with learning what is important in life and what God wants for you.

I think this was the best book of the series and a fitting way to end it. I'm not a fan of inspirational reads and I knew this was one but it was still a good read. It firmed up my belief about how close minded main-stream, christian churches are.

Another great book on the Moonlight Bay series. I loved all the characters and can’t wait for the next in this series.
July 13, 2022
Ashley Scott has no time for romance. She is grieving the loss of her husband, caring for her son and running her bed and breakfast. Her friendship with Rev. Micah St. Pierre is beginning to fell like more. Micah has the local quilting club matchmaking for him but only has romantic feeling for Ashley. Micah is not allowed to date anyone in his congregation so his feeling cannot share his feelings with Ashley. Can love prevail!
Thanks to Hope Ramsey and Forever(Grand Central Publishing) for the book!

The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is the fifth title in the Moonlight Bay series and brings us a poignant story of loss, love, and possibilities if one is willing to risk their heart again. While Ashley’s and Micah’s story can easily stand on its own, I’d still suggest reading the rest of the series from the beginning, if possible, for you’ll run into couples and citizens from Moonlight Bay throughout this series. Plus, they’re all really good stories.
Ashley is a widow who inherited the local bed and breakfast from her grandmother. Five years later, she is still grieving her husband’s death while on active duty, she’s not willing to risk her heart again – and the only man she might be interested in has been a lifesaving friend, even if she does ignore the attraction that often sparks between them. Her father has come to live with her and her son, meddling in business affairs as only a father can do, and to top it off; her son firmly believes there is the ghost of a pirate wandering the grounds. Life is complex enough without beginning to fall for her minister… but it just might be so much more rewarding with a loving partner at her side.
By the rules of his church, Micah is forbidden from dating a member of his congregation. This makes an outdated kind of sense, but when it’s obvious that Ashley and Micah do belong together it doesn’t take long for the matchmakers to get to work. Friendship has been a precious gift for this couple, taking the risks (and the changes) that a romance would require isn’t an easy decision. Love wins, but it’s a rocky road to that happy forever ending for this couple.
I always enjoy returning to the Moonlight Bay series. This small town is filled with interesting residents, many have found their forever love here, and there is always something new happening to get the gossip working overtime and the true helpers busy. Micah and Ashley work so well together; I definitely wanted them to find a way around rules and hesitation that often blocked their path to happiness.
If you enjoy a well-written romance with touches of reality, a small town’s quirks, and watching a couple fall in love in spite of rules then The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is a perfect fit for you.

While Ashley’s and Micah’s story can easily stand on its own, I’d still suggest reading the rest of the series from the beginning, if possible, for you’ll run into couples and citizens from Moonlight Bay throughout this series. Plus, they’re all really good stories.
Ashley is a widow who inherited the local bed and breakfast from her grandmother. Five years later, she is still grieving her husband’s death while on active duty, she’s not willing to risk her heart again – and the only man she might be interested in has been a lifesaving friend, even if she does ignore the attraction that often sparks between them. Her father has come to live with her and her son, meddling in business affairs as only a father can do, and to top it off; her son firmly believes there is the ghost of a pirate wandering the grounds. Life is complex enough without beginning to fall for her minister… but it just might be so much more rewarding with a loving partner at her side.
By the rules of his church, Micah is forbidden from dating a member of his congregation. This makes an outdated kind of sense, but when it’s obvious that Ashley and Micah do belong together it doesn’t take long for the matchmakers to get to work. Friendship has been a precious gift for this couple, taking the risks (and the changes) that a romance would require isn’t an easy decision. Love wins, but it’s a rocky road to that happy forever ending for this couple.
I always enjoy returning to the Moonlight Bay series. This small town is filled with interesting residents, many have found their forever love here, and there is always something new happening to get the gossip working overtime and the true helpers busy. Micah and Ashley work so well together; I definitely wanted them to find a way around rules and hesitation that often blocked their path to happiness.
If you enjoy a well-written romance with touches of reality, a small town’s quirks, and watching a couple fall in love in spite of rules then The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is a perfect fit for you.

Ashley’s a widow who owns a bed & breakfast in the town of Magnolia Harbor where she lives with her son & her widowed father. Michah’s a reverend at Heaven’s Rest church in Magnolia Harbor who was forced to grow up too quickly to take care of his younger brothers after his mom left. Ashley & Micah have been both neighbors and friends for the past five years (I think it was five years at least) but they are both slowly realizing that there’s much more to their relationship than friendship.
I really really wanted to like this book & had it not been for the other storylines thrown into it, I might have enjoyed it a lot more and given it more than 3 stars (2.5 if I’m being honest). I enjoy when an author switches viewpoints from chapter to chapter, so one chapter you get the female protagonist point of view and the next you get her male counterpart’s point of view - I do not enjoy when the point of view switches mid chapter along with which storyline I’m now supposed to be following.
Don’t get me wrong, each storyline had it’s own positive qualities but I went into this book thinking I’m about to read all about what happens with Ashley & Micah and yet here I am reading about Colton having business issues, Polly playing matchmaker, Kerri wanting a fairytale, Jayden’s dad (whose name I cannot recall) being a douche, and Ben having some serious issues. None of these storylines had any real effect on who the main characters were supposed to be, and the storylines that did tie in (such as Micah’s mom) weren’t given nearly the explanations they should have been. I would have loved nothing more to read more about Micah & Ashley, especially since they were who the story was supposed to be based on.
While I definitely didn’t love this book, I did enjoy the author’s writing style and her clear desire to keep her readers engaged. I would be more than willing to read another book by her in hopes that the character focus is clearly laid out & given the attention it truly deserves.

Ashley is a widowed mother of an 11 year old boy and owner of a B&B. Micah is a Reverend who is in search for a wife. Both have feelings for the other but feel they can't act on them due to being a Reverend and a member of his clergy.
This book had so much potential. It fell flat. Right from the get go it brought up race. At first it very much called out if a character was white, but only white, okay, maybe the author was making a statement. It's a bit into the book when you find out Micah is biracial, a few pages later you find put he is black/white only by mention of his distant relative being a slave. Then a bit later you find out a key character is black by saying she's the same race as the Micah There were mentions of Micah being optimistic about the "black folk" and "white folk" talking and getting along, that he needed to pick a side. As a biracial person myself, why the heck do I need to pick one side? Why do I need to claim just one parent? I already do not fully get accepted by either group, so why do I have to pick one, not both. One is not better than the other, I am both. Race is brought up WAY too much for it to not be part of the conflict. I get racism is there, I'll gladly talk about my own experiences, but for how often it was brought up, it should have played a bigger role. The resolution made it sound like race was a bigger issue than it was, when it wasn't, NO ONE in the book said they couldn't be together for the race issue. It GLANCES over racial history with SMALL mentions of the town meusum telling a true story of the towns history, of a black man and white woman loving each other in the 1800s, but not much else. The first half mentioned race a lot, but the second half there was hardly any.
Then let's talk about how a 12 year old car having 120k miles is NORMAL. It's actually really great milage for a car, and does NOT make the car ancient. Why the heck would it need to be mentioned MULTIPLE times that a 12 year old car was ancient? It's not. Overall, I'm disappointed in how this was written and how the racial issue was handled.

I loved Micah and Ashley’s story in The Beachside Bed and Breakfast by Hope Ramsey, book five in the Moonlight Bay series, is a heartwarming, feel good story with a theme of overcoming the past and moving forward. In a small coastal town in North Carolina a lot is going on; there is gossip, family drama on many fronts and good neighbors trying to lend a hand.
Ashley Scott has no time for romance. She is grieving the loss of her army husband, caring for her eleven-year-old son, Jackie, and running her bed and breakfast. Her friendship with Rev. Micah St. Pierre is beginning to feel like more. Micah is her church's pastor, single, and wants to get married; but is not allowed to date anyone in his congregation. After dating a local woman who doesn't attend his church, he decided to pop the question, although he doesn’t love her. She says no, in front of most of the town; embarrassing him. The local quilting club decides to do some matchmaking for him but Micah only has romantic feeling for Ashley. Since Ashley is member of his church, Micah is unable to share his feelings with Ashley, who is starting to realize that she is interested in Micah; but he tells her they can't date by church edict. Micah will need to re-examine his priorities and make decisions regarding his future and whether or not Ashley can be part of that plan. There is some wonderful interaction with Micah's brothers, who live in town, and the rest of his extended family. Ashley's son Jackie is being bulled at school and feels his mother is neglecting him; needing some adult mentoring. There is a second romance running throughout this story between Micah’s brother Colton and Kerri, along with their involvement with helping Danny, a troubled orphaned teen. The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is a heartfelt story with learning what is important in life which I highly recommend to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The Beachside Bed and Breakfast
Hope Ramsay
August 23, 2022
In Magnolia Harbor, the Reverend Micah St. Pierre is pastor of the local church. He is a single gentleman who is kind and considerate of all, especially his parishioners. He is at the age where he would like to find someone to date and perhaps someday marry. Goodlooking, many women have thought him to be quite a catch but the idea of marrying a pastor welcomes the suggestion that the congregants would be well advised as to their daily life. We also find Ashley Howland Scott, widow. Her husband was killed in the war leaving her with a young son, Jackie, now eleven. With the passing of her Grandmother, she became owner of the Beachside Bed and Breakfast. When her father found retired and alone when his wife died of cancer, he became the cook for the inn. The three of them did their best to run the guest house. Although it had been 6 years since her husband’s death Ashley had not been able to say goodbye to him and all the memories.
This romantic comedy gives us the full series of Moonlight Bay cast of characters most of whom give their opinions regardless of the occasion. It is a humorous tale that is a bit predictable in its plot. The reader becomes aware shortly after the entry chapters who will end with whom just not the how. It is a casual, comfy book that makes for good reading at the beach or quietly sitting on the porch.
The Beachside Bed and Breakfast by Hope Ramsy will be published on August 23rd or 2022 by Hachette Book Group. I appreciate their allowing me to read and review this latest Moonlight Bay story. Fans of this series will welcome another chapter in the characters humorous lives. Those who have not read her work might find it takes a chapter or two to catch on but the lightness of this novel is worth investing the time. Do Enjoy!

Ashley Howland Scott has inherited Howland House and the Rose Cottage from her grandmother in the small town of Moonlight Bay. She and her young son are trying to find their way after losing the one man who completed their family, her husband and Jackie’s father. Ashley thinks that after this many years she may be ready to fall in love again, but the one man she has feelings for is off limits as Micah is the minister of her church and he could not possibly date a member of his congregation. Ashley is friends with Micah, and really appreciates his guidance and relationship with her son but that is all they can be. When the local quilting club decides it time to find Minister Micah a wife, Ashley is in a bind. How can she help find him a wife when she wants that role for herself?
Hope Ramsay captures small town living, friends, family and love so beautifully in this novel from the Moonlight Bay series. I adored the main characters as they were so well written and I had a hard time putting this book down. They faced real world issues with faith, single parenting and falling in love. Thank you to Forever Publishing for my advanced copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. If you are looking for a sweet, small town family faith based novel, this is one you want to check out friends.

This book is part of a series, I've read the other books and enjoyed them. Sad to say that this one just missed the mark for me. It was well-written grammatically, but the plotline did wander a bit.
Ashley's a single parent, widowed. Her Dad has recently come to live with her after her Mom passed away. Micah is the minister of a local church, and is forbidden from dating his parishioners. After Micah quite openly proposes to a woman he "liked' and she refuses, the town's women take it on themselves to find him a wife.
I realize this series is set in the South, but it seems like there are way too many stereotypes. Women are quiet, waiting for the man to speak up. An Episcopalian minister, who is permitted to marry still has to pick a wife outside his congregation. I felt bad for both of them, being pigeonholed into their roles.
I'd read other books from this author, and enjoyed them. I will continue to look for her books. This just didn't gel for me.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Ashley Howland Scott has been gifted the Howland House when her grandmother died. She's now running the place with the help of her dad. He is ex-military and doesn't know what to do with himself since his wife died unexpectantly. Ashley still mourns her late husband and raising their son Jackie. Micah St. Pierre is the Reverend at Heavenly Rest Church. He grew up in Magnolia Harbor and is now back. It seems the ladies of the alter guild are trying to be matchmakers for Micah. He doesn't want there help. It seems that the preacher and the widow are perfect for each other only he can never date within the congregation. He tries to find a place to minister at but a swift kick from Aunt Daisy sets everything in motion by asking the question, "What's more important? Church rules or love?" For Micah and Ashley, it was love.

This was just such a nice book to escape into. I enjoyed seeing the small town happenings with gossip issues stirring things up, as well as getting to see how small that town really was with having favorites and being a bit closeminded. I liked the romance that was slowly but surly brewing between Micah and Ashely but for religious reason things could get complicated and the town already likes Micah as the minster and what if things don't work out a whole lot of other issues, like I said its a small town things can get ugly. But there was also that part of Ashely questioning having a relationship because of her late husband and not wanting to relocate and just wanted to settle with her son who seems to be increasingly having issues with a ghost and some bullies at school. There is plenty to enjoy about this book and I can't wait to see what this author comes up with next.

2.5 stars. This has a cute cover and some seemingly charming elements, but this just wasn't it for me. This book follows a bed and breakfast owner and the town pastor. I'm sure they have some friendship history that I don't know about and it could've helped my attachment to them, but I felt no chemistry. I also thought it was uncomfortable to read a lust filled romance about a pastor. I liked that our main female was a single mom, but the whole ghost and possession storyline with her son was a weird plot point thrown in to bring the pastor into their lives and I didn't love it. I also hated how both of our main characters were trying to make big life changes without even talking to the other one. Communication felt VERY juvenile in this book. Overall, this just wasn't the book for me and I wouldn't really recommend it.

It was heartwarming to return to this small town and read Mucah and Ashley's story. As a reverend, he needs to be above reproach. Their dilemma is how to proceed with the growing feelings for each other. They started as friends and neighbors but now stronger feelings have emerged. He can't date a parishioner and she's not sure she's ready for romance, even though it has been 6 years since her husband died.
Micah deals with tough family issue and Ashley's balancing her Dad's grief and her newfound feelings. It's a good story of life, love, and family and choosing what's best in your life. A 4 star read and a great ending to the series.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’ll definitely be reading more. This story is centered around Ashley and Micah. Ashley is a single mom to her son, Jackie, and runs a bed and breakfast, Howland House. Micah is a reverend at Heavenly Rest Church. It’s against the rules to date anyone from his congregation, so Micah tries to ignore his feelings for Ashley. Ashley has been grieving for her husband, Adam, for almost six years, since he was killed in Afghanistan. Grab your copy and see what happens in this delightful read. If you enjoy small town romances centered around friends and family, you’ll enjoy this book.

We are back in Moonlight Bay and this time the story belongs to the owner of the local Bed and Breakfast, Ashley Howland Scott, and the new minister, Micah St Pierre.
We’ve met Micah before. He left his home, brothers and father years and became a Navy chaplain. His guilt has him back.
He is enchanted by widow Ashley and her son.
But there is much doubts on both their sides, the townspeople expressing their opinions and social expectations.
Will they be able to overcome their past and the town and find their HEA?
For me, it was just ok. More of a 3.5 stars story.

First, I have to gush at the cover. I can look at this cover all day since it’s so soothing and calming.
There is much ado in this novel. A preacher is in love with his parishioner, a no no. Micah spends most of the book in moral quandary and I thought he needed to be less straight laced and live a little.
Ashley is running a business and dealing with her son’s problems and her meddling father, whom I don’t care for.
When the bully gets his comeuppance I was cheering on the vanquished.
For a calming cover, it’s misleading since there’s a tub of turmoil inside!
Thanks to Forever and NetGalley for the early copy.
