About the book:

Title: Windswept Way

Author: Irene Hannon

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Release Date: April 4, 2023

Buying a haunted house was never in Ashley Scott’s plans, but when an intriguing opportunity drops into her lap after a major setback, she finds herself trekking cross-country to Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast to launch a new life.

Wounded warrior Jonathan Gray isn’t sure what to make of the attractive woman on his reclusive older neighbor’s isolated property, but her presence is none of his business–until she enlists his help with an ambitious project. When Jonathan finds his interest in the new arrival becoming more personal than professional, however, his defenses go up. There’s no room in his life–or his heart–for romance.

Yet, as these three hurting people join forces to restore life, laughter, and love to a historic estate that has known too much sadness, they may also find healing, hope, and happiness for themselves.

Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites you back to Hope Harbor, where hearts heal and love blooms.

Book Review:

Okay, so I might say this every time I return to Hope Harbor, but this book is my favorite. The Beauty and the Beast vibes were so good that I melted time and time again throughout the reading. I managed to read slow enough to savor the story and linger with the characters as they navigated the romantic entanglements and problems (real and perceived) that came with Jon’s scars. The writing is exceptional and the deeper truths just waiting to be discovered brought gravity and sincerity to an already gorgeous tale. Love blooms in all manner of places and Irene Hannon knows how to blend romance with overcoming adversity to create a bouquet worth savoring time and again. I’ll definitely be back for a reread. I received a copy of this book through RevellReads. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
