Editorial reviews

Narrator Teri Clark Linden has a slight huskiness to her voice that lends an additional layer of angst to this moody romance. Fragile Mel has just survived an unexpected divorce, leaving her skittish and wary of love. She restarts her life by buying a bed-and-breakfast on the Oregon coast called the Sea Glass Inn and finds Pamela Whitford, the artist who inspired her move in order to commission artwork for her new business. Pam has neglected her talent for years, fearful of the vulnerability that accompanies creativity, but something about Mel loosens the chains around her heart. The beautiful images Linden creates with her voice will linger in listeners' minds like Pam's paintings.

Publisher's summary

After a life of wrong turns and lost hope, can true love be more than a bittersweet fantasy? Melinda Andrews arrives on the Oregon coast with a dream of running the Sea Glass Inn. Still reeling after an unexpected divorce, Mel believes she has missed her chance to find love. All she wants is to make her business a success and regain her independence. She locates the artist who inspired her move so she can commission more paintings for her new inn. Pamela Whitford runs a gallery in a small seaside town, planning events and supporting other artists while neglecting her own talent. Since being deserted by the love she thought was forever, she refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her again. But Pam can't resist the struggling new innkeeper, and she agrees to paint for her even though it means opening herself up to creativity and the vulnerability that goes with it. Can they learn to trust again and discover a second chance at love?

Made it to the end

Lots of interior handwringing of emotions, more telling than showing, yet I made it to the end. Best aspect was teen visiting his mom as she embarks on new life and the divorcee bravely and doggedly building a new life for herself. The neurotic artist is tedious yet gratifying to see her grow as well.

Narrator

After reading a few reviews I’ve come to the realization the narrator sounds like Siri.

No limes for key lime pie.

This book was a great read/lesson, thanks. I loved the way Pam and Melody danced around each other. Neither one wanted to admit to the feelings she was having. I have always heard “Liquor is Quicker, but Tequila don’t care.”

Show me, don’t tell me...so much

Most of this story relies on repetitive descriptions of almost crippling misery. The characters weren’t allowed to move the story forward as much as I expected. As a result I couldn’t buy into their relationship. I liked the story more when the characters interacted through words and deeds.

Unfortunately, I developed a dislike for Pam that I never quite got over.

The narration was slow and uninspired. On a more positive note, I had no trouble imagining the Inn!

Unfulfilled potential

Too much internal dialogue. Flat narration.
I listened to the end, but I found myself waiting for it to be over.
Story was ok. Sweet. Just felt like it could have been so much more.

Great story and wonderful narration.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to in this case. This book was very enjoyable and had a creative story line. Not to mention, the narration was great, which is not always the case as it can actually ruin a good story. But, would highly recommend this read.
