GRR Reviews The House on the Beach (Pilgrim Cove) by Linda Barrett


The House on the Beach is about second chance at love and letting go of past pains. The darkest hour left me a bit flat though.

Laura McCloud lost her mom and her boyfriend, but she did win something: a fight against breast cancer, at least when her doctor said so. Her life and career were on hold, and she needed some time to regroup. She rented the Sea View House at Pilgrim Cove. It is calm, quiet, plenty of time to relax, and for her to find herself again. Then entered Matthew Parker. Matt has two young sons and lived with his father. Both lost their wives several years ago, and are comfortable living the bachelor life. But when Matt, the "not quite" plumber in town meets Laura, who needed some help with the old house, he realized it may be time to try again. But Matt lost his wife to ovarian cancer. Can he bear the revelation that Laura had cancer (also)?

The darkest hour seems both kinda "O RLY?" and "OMG". It takes him a couple days to get over the shock and go ask her back. That's a bit of "meh" for me. Otherwise, the slow dance between the couple is good.
