Cocoa Beach Cottage

Sweeney House, Book 1

De: Cecelia Scott

Narrado por: Vanessa Johansson

Samantha Parker is picking up the pieces of her life—and a pen to sign divorce papers—after she finds out her husband has been cheating on her and the other woman is expecting his child.

While the idea of leaving town and starting over is appealing, Sam's only option is to head back to her childhood home of Cocoa Beach, Florida, to help her recently widowed mother run their family inn. Can she go home and start her whole life over at forty-three?

Sam decides to spend the summer living in the beachfront cottage where she was raised, bringing her twenty-four-year-old daughter for moral support and laughter and her teenage son in the hopes that the change will help him heal too.

Finding peace on the sun-washed island, Sam finally spreads her wings, gets her first real job, and reconnects with the siblings she’s kept at a distance for far too many years. She helps her daughter navigate a new romance, guides her mother through a widow’s grief, and supports her sister as she faces an unexpected challenge. But when the pain of the divorce becomes too much for her fragile son to handle, Sam wonders if she can ever really escape her past.

It is in an area where I grew up!

I loved this book and can’t wait to listen to the next book on the series. It has real family drama. I do want to point out that Winter Park does not have brick sidewalks. Park Avenue, the main drag going into downtown has brick streets.

Family

Family, I loved the development of the family and the support they showed each other

Great story

I loved this story ,was well written and the narrating was great. it was very heartwarming.

The perseverance of each character.

I liked that each chapter centered on one person but yet blended in family members.

Pleasant enough story, but the narration was bland.

Sadly, a story weighed down by a rather bland narrator. Male voices particularly poor. As these are audible books and costing no small amount the standard should be higher with Audible.
