By: Susanne O'Leary

Narrated by: Jennifer Fitzgerald

Publisher's summary

An enchanting story about forgotten family secrets that will transport you to the charming village of Sandy Cove on the beautiful Irish coast.

Allegra Casey is searching for a new beginning. So when she discovers an engagement ring buried in the sand near her home in Cape Cod, the last place she expects it to lead her is to the west coast of Ireland. But when she arrives in the tiny village of Sandy Cove, she finds herself falling in love with the crashing waves, the picturesque coast and the warm-hearted people.

As soon as she settles into her cottage at the old coastguard station, Allegra meets her eccentric neighbours. They believe the ring belonged to Davina Courtney, whose family still live on the Strawberry Hill estate just outside the village. And when Allegra visits the old mansion, she meets the charming, enigmatic Max Courtney-Smythe, the great-nephew of the former owner.

As they try to solve the mystery of the long-lost ring, Allegra and Max grow closer, and it soon becomes clear that their feelings for one another are mutual. And as she spends more time with the local community, Allegra wonders if she's finally found the place she can call home.

But the reappearance of the engagement ring causes problems among the heirs of the estate and, as Max suddenly grows distant, Allegra wonders whether she should never have travelled to Sandy Cove. Is this where she will finally find true love, or is she destined to leave this magical place alone?

Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Debbie Macomber and Sheila O'Flanagan will fall in love with this delightful, feel-good Irish romance.

Lovely to hear the Irish accent but story a bit weak

Story was a little slow and predictable really. Lovely to hear the Irish way of life but probably won’t listen to any more of her books.

Lack luster

Needs more historical reference and details. More family background on all of people in story. Fuller and more robust.

children's book.

basically a short story drawn out. sounds as if it was written by a girl in highschool trying her hand at romance novels. story was cute and somewhat original. Allegra read like an 18 year old instead of a woman in her 30s.
