Review: Pelican Point by Irene Hannon

To Purchase
About:


After inheriting a crumbling lighthouse, Dr. Ben Garrison is more than ready to get rid of it until he meets a determined Marci Weber who wants to save the landmark. Can she make him see her point of view?

My Thoughts:

Pelican Point was such a fantastic surprise of a read in Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor series. The story starts out slowly with a less than stellar meeting between Editor Marci Weber and Army doctor Ben Garrison. Both try to avoid each other as it seems sparks fly every time they are near one another. However, Ben finally gets an idea that maybe the sparks are flying due to the attraction that neither wants to acknowledge.

There was a lot in this story from the town saving the lighthouse on the Point to a young married couple who are trying to save their marriage after an IED reshaped their lives.  I was rooting for Rachel and Greg as much as I was for Marci and Ben.

As I was reading I realized how much Marci and Ben had in common- the events that brought them to Hope Harbor to the secrets both of them kept close. Once the secrets started to be revealed, I thought the author was going to take the story a certain route, but I was surprised with the completely different direction and the twist that ended up happening. I was happily surprised to see a little suspense play in the story.

It was nice going back to Hope Harbor and the very familiar faces of all the secondary characters that I have come to enjoy. From the people like mysterious Charley and his yummy fish tacos to the animals that have even been an interesting addition to the story. I am glad that there is another book coming in this series.


I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
