Resumen del Editor

Family, wounded hearts, and a Texas bed-and-breakfast are in need of repair in New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown’s inviting novel about down-home comfort and second chances.

Cousins Tabby and Ellie Mae are due for a change. Running their aunt’s beachfront bed-and-breakfast in Sandcastle, Texas, is just the thing to shake things up…though their lives spin out of control in more ways than one when a hurricane barrels into the coastline. It’s a miracle it didn’t carry them off to Kansas. Not so lucky are the assisted-living center and a small eclectic group of local folks who take shelter with the cousins.

Two estranged sisters, rowdy as a circus, need a referee for a battle that goes back decades. And a pair of veterans, best friends for years, hash out bittersweet old times. There’s also handyman Alex LaSalle and his business partner, Ricky, experts at repairing the hurricane’s damage—and at making Tabby’s and Ellie Mae’s hearts beat a little faster.

As unpredictable, crowded, and stormy as it gets, the Sandcastle B and B is still the perfect harbor for healing past wounds, finding romance, and making up for lost time. Add in Tabby’s homemade pecan pie, and the Texas shore feels like a little slice of paradise.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This contemporary romance with a dash of humor is a light read that still doesn’t shy away from heavier topics, such as grief and racism. Both longtime fans of [Carolyn] Brown, as well as new readers, will enjoy her latest.” (Library Journal)

Wonderfully sweet story

A great cast of characters with a beautiful ending. The choice of ages was a perfect touch of the past blended with the hopes of the future.

Wonderful story of friendship and family

Carolyn Brown is a master of writing believable, complex relationships. She gives depth to the characters and their interactions innway that not only highlights their friendships, but makes you feel like they are your friends too. The Sandcastle Hurricane is the story of two cousins brought together through their shared grief, two sisters torn apart by their life choices and family disfunction, two friends that have weathered a storm few can fully understand, and two men who love the cousins. The relationships and family dynamics throughout the book are complicated and messy, and oh so relatable.

Heartwarming

Carolyn Brown always, and I mean always writes the most heartwarming books. Her characters always seem so real and unique within her stories. I can also tell the narrators are carefully chosen and do a superb job portraying the different characters.

Good story by Ms Brown, but…

I absolutely would not like to listen to this Narrator again! It took *several* chapters before I could overlook the Narration and appreciate the story.

The sandcastle hurricane

This story was sooooooo good, as always. I love how Carolyn weaves love, wisdom and value among the generations! I am so grateful I get an audio version too. I liked this narrator but I love Brittany Presley. Thank you for another beautiful story. I wish it didn’t have to end.

Just Right

The Sandcastle Hurricane is just right: the right amount out love story, humor, family strife. The characters are well developed and very believable. Karissa does a great job of bringing Carolyn's words to life.
