Sandbar Storm

Summer Cottage #4

by Rebecca Regnier

A Sandbar Sister faces the toughest season of her life. Can sun, sand, and a second chance heal her body and soul? Return to Irish Hills where sun-soaked memories, cherished friendships, sisterhood, and sweet possibilities for second-chance romance are around every corner.

Vivian Blackwood has been through the wringer. The scans say all clear, but is she really? Over the last year, her life has centered around fighting cancer and worrying if she could win. Now her doctors say she's okay. But doubt and fear are ruining what should be the best time of her life. That's when her daughter, Siena steps in. Siena has made a deal for both of them to start fresh in Irish Hills. Siena has devoted herself to bringing back her mother's love of life. To Viv's dismay, Siena has set aside her own dreams for her mom's.

Enter the Sandbar Sisters. Libby, Hope, Goldie, and J.J. circle the wagons around the last Sandbar Sister to come back to the lake of their childhood. The bonds of friendship and the spark of new romance may be just what the doctor ordered for Viv.

But just as the dream of a new Irish Hills is about to come true, a dark cloud threatens the future they've worked together to build. Sandbar Storm is the fourth book in the Summer Cottage Series that follows the heartwarming stories of Libby Quinn, her friends, family, and summer visitors to the beaches of Irish Hills. If you like a touch of sweet romance, flip-flops, and sun on your shoulders, you’ll love Sandbar Storm . Pick a spot on the pontoon boat and spend the summer with old friends and gentle laughs.

Keep the tissues nearby. That said, this is a wonderful story, and a great addition to the SandBar Sisters (Summer Cottage series). Love all the characters. 🩷

so good

A good continuation of the first three books… it is well set up for the next book in the series.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the fourth book of this absolutely wonderful romance series set in Irish Hills, Vivian, the last Sandbar Sister, finds herself in need of some tlc. Unknown to her, her daughter has been cooking up something with her aunt, one of the other Sandbar Sister's.

Siena is Viv's daughter and has a very close relationship with Goldie; while her mum is recovering from cancer, she arranges for them to go to Irosh Hills. Viv believes this to be a short trip, but Libby has agreed something with Siena, which Viv may not agree with.

Will history repeat itself, though?

I've binge read all four books released so far and can't wait for the fifth one to be released. The books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and story.

Good read for fun

I like this book and the series but there are so many grammatical errors and typos. It was hard to miss them. There one section of the book that was completely repeated. It was a pretty good read but a little repetitive and couldn't have been done in less than 5 books.

Uncertain

I’m angry so I am trying to decide if that is a good thing. Did the writer make me feel what I was supposed to feel? Dean? Really? The ext book better be awe inspiring to come back from this one :(

Love this series

I have enjoyed reading the first four books this weekend. I do like the characters and how the friends have reunited. My only complaint is that the books need to be edited, especially the fourth book.

Great Read!

I'm really enjoying this series watching the Sandbar sisters navigate their road to finding their HEA. I'm looking forward to book 5 to see how this all ends. I will definitely recommend this book to everyone.

keep reading

I have read them all nonstop so far. This one ended sad but hopefully the next one will
Pick up with good story. I hate that JJ is running away. I hate that this author brought up a gay couple in the mix but I guess it’s the way life is now.
