Indigo Isle

De: T. I. Lowe

Narrado por: Justis Bolding

Storms show up and there ain’t a thing we can do to stop them. Sonny Bates left South Carolina fifteen years ago and never looked back. Now she’s a successful Hollywood location scout who travels the world, finding perfect places for movie shoots. Home is wherever she lands, and between her busy schedule and dealing with her boss’s demands, she has little time to think about the past . . . until her latest gig lands her a stone’s throw from everything she left behind.

Searching off the coast of Charleston for a secluded site to film a key scene, Sonny wanders onto a private barrier island and encounters its reclusive owner, known by locals as the Monster of Indigo Isle. What she finds is a man much more complex than the myth.

Once a successful New York attorney, Hudson Renfrow’s grief has exiled him to his island for several years. He spends his days alone, tending his fields of indigo, then making indigo dye?and he has no interest in serving the intrusive needs of a film company or yielding to Sonny’s determined curiosity. But when a hurricane makes landfall on the Carolina coast, stranding them together, an unlikely friendship forms between the two damaged souls. Soon the gruff exterior Hudson has long hidden behind crumbles?exposing the tender part of him that’s desperate for forgiveness and a second chance.

A story of hanging on and letting go, of redemption and reconciliation, and of a love that heals the deepest wounds, from the author of the breakout Southern fiction bestseller Under the Magnolias.

Making Amends

I liked the character development. By the end of the book, I felt as if the characters were my personal friends. I liked the accountability for the choices made and the resolutions that were worked for and attained. I didn't want the story to end and I'll be looking for more books by this author.

I agree with the good reviews

Sorry, I’m too lazy to write my own review. Others have said it better it’s a good book.

Starts out strong

And is pretty I interesting when it comes to indigo and location scouting. It also touches upon workplace sexual abuse and the struggles women often undergo, but toward the end dives into way too much religion and god for my taste. It could have been better.

Great story and narration

Lovely story, lots of love and soul searching in this book. Truly enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters. I think you will enjoy it as well.

The story of finding your inner strength.

This story follows characters who have had their share of trouble and trauma but discovering a way to find peace and happiness prevails.

Wow 🤩

Wow it was great! It was something I wanted to sit with for a while, not start another story right away. There were some hard and deep topics but they were handled with care. It didn’t bog you down with despair, even though it did make you feel with the characters. Everyone has their scars and it’s encouraging to see people have hope and work through things. I wouldn’t want children around as it discusses sensitive issues.

Lowcountry

I liked this , but had a hard time think parents wouldn’t track down their runaway child.

Cannot put it down

I couldn't wait to get into this. I love TI Lowes craft. I had no expectations, I hadn't even read the description. The narrator was 100% of this book. I felt as though I was listening to someone tell me the story, not a book. The story was full of life. Sonny's story got me from the beginning and as she fully developed, I wanted to befriend her. The gumption of her continually heading over to Indigo Isle had me shaking my head but had she not gone, the book would have been 4 boring chapters. The evolution of their time together, the ebb and flow of she and Hudsons relationship was rather beautiful, especially in a society of " swipe right apps".
I got rather emotional about as the family blend was happening and the wonderful humor and care that suddenly appeared, like a hug from the author, letting us know she wasn't done with Sonny's character.
I'm thankful for the epiloge to finish the high notes of the story.

I'd also like to note that the supporting characters of Lyrica and V are surprisingly fun but I could have used more. The same with Sonny's fam....I quickly became attached.

Overall, I'm sad it ended. I wasn't done. A well written novel.

Enjoyed this novel

Handled adult themes with discretion. Loved the setting and how indigo is made. I always love a redemption theme as it is central to my life as well. I really liked this book overall.

Ups and downs

Liked the setting and many of the characters. The religious stuff was a total turnoff for me.
