Whale Harbor Dreams

Saltwater Sunsets, Book 1

By: Fiona Baker

Narrated by: Leslie Howard

An artist who's lost her creative spark. The beachside town she abandoned years ago.

Will a return to her hometown give her a second chance in life and love?

Darla Sims left her hometown of Whale Harbor years ago to pursue a career as an artist in New York City. But after a disastrous art show that leaves her questioning everything, she receives even more devastating news: her beloved grandmother has passed away, and she needs to return home for the funeral.

Going back to Whale Harbor wasn't in her plans, and from the moment Darla sets foot in the small coastal town where she grew up, her life is turned on its head.

She and her mother have barely spoken in years, and as they struggle to reconnect, misunderstandings threaten to drive them further apart. On top of that, an accidental run-in with her first crush has Darla wondering if there's truly such a thing as second chances when it comes to love.

Not that it matters. She doesn't plan to be in Whale Harbor long, so there's no point in trying to patch up old relationships or begin new ones. The hustle and grind of New York is where she truly belongs. Isn't it?

As she reconnects with her past and finds her inspiration again, can she decide between the dream she thought she wanted… and the one she never saw coming?

Set in a cozy New England beach town with a cast of unforgettable characters, this heartwarming women's fiction book delivers laughter, love, and lots of feels. If you enjoy clean romance and stories that celebrate family and friendship, take a trip to Whale Harbor today. You'll never want to leave!

Sweet romance

I enjoyed the story, the setting, the characters and the narration. A few slow spots, but they were short.

Nothing exciting

Rather boring. Same old same old. Performance was okay but the story line was limited.
