Gulf Coast Cottage

Blackbird Beach, Book 1

By: Maggie Miller

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan, Ryan West, Stephanie Einstein

Escape to the Gulf Coast of Florida with Georgia Carpenter as she gets a second chance at life, love, and happiness.

In the middle of an awful divorce, 53-year-old Georgia Carpenter finds herself out of luck, time, and money. Then her phone rings with the news that her great aunt has died and left her a cottage in the Gulf Coast town of Blackbird Beach.

Georgia has no idea what awaits her on the other coast of Florida. All she knows is that she has nowhere else to go. And no reason to stay where she is.

Fortunately for her, life has far more interesting plans than she ever could have realized. Including making the acquaintance of a handsome handyman and getting the chance at a brand-new start.

not a complete story

I was excited for the book... older 52 or 53 year old woman starting over in a small beach town ..opening a b and b...
cute handyman, good relationship with her daughter...a family struggle with her son...
and as things just start to come together...the book is over.
it is one of those series, where first book is character building...and actual story is continued in next book.
I will not continue, as I will have to purchase complete series to get the whole story.... which should be one book.
frustrated 😠

good but cliffhanger to make you buy the next one

A good light listen. This is why I like small town beach romance. Quite short though. I just wish they made 1 book instead of small books out of it. It looks like cliffhanger books to make you buy the next one and the next one. I hate it when authors do that to earn more royalties from incomplete books. Narration is great tho.

Delightful Clean Romance Community Values

I enjoyed this series of clean romance in a community with values thru various life struggles. Would make a good Hallmark show. The performances were great for so many voices from so many readers. I enjoyed each of you.

My one grump was Clayton's character that I never heard of 10 year olds playing football more or less tackle football. I loved Clayton's contribution to the story but he sounded and was treated more like 6 years old than a 10 year old. I easily forgave the oddity though because the entire story is an adorable web of extended relationships from various generations.

I hope Ms Miller has many more stories to tell!

Narration & story are “eh”

I forced myself to get through the book, and I finally made it! Not the best story or narration.

Easy listening

Good story but I don't care for books that leave you hanging. So if you want to listen to the rest of the book you HAVE TO BUY THE NEXT 1
