Critic reviews

"Witty dialogue, sexy heroes, Donna Kauffman's a must-read!" --New York Times bestselling author, Jill Shalvis

Good Story Line

This was a great book. I really liked the Story line. It had great details.

Enjoyable listen

I've been a fan of Donna Kauffman's for years and I decided I needed to catch up on her books. I'd read the first book in the Blueberry Cove series when it first came out, so it was nice to return to the series and the small town with Half Moon Harbor.

I was immediately drawn into the story and the character's lives. I wanted Grace and Brody to get their happily ever after, together as a couple and in other aspects of their lives. I enjoyed all the secondary characters and the hints to who is being paired up in the next book in the series.

Lauren Fortgang's narration as usual was on point. I even enjoyed her Irish brogue for Brody. The pacing was just right and just the right amount of emotion was pumped into the performance to suck me into the story.

All in all, this was a good read and I can't wait to revisit this series.

better than book 1

pretty awesome! also, it was quite feminist! really enjoyed it! loads better than book 1!

Another wonderful story!

I started this series backwards by reading the Brides books first, in a way I am glad I did, though I do suggest they are read in order. I really like the main character Brody . He has such a wonderful personality, such a drive to showcase his ancestors trade in ship building, and is the total package from what all the other women characters talk about, but he just won’t commit or will he? I don’t want to divulge anymore, as I don’t want to spoil this great read for anybody. There are so ,any moving parts which makes this a terrific read.

Half Moon Harbor

Donna Kauffman has made another excellent book/audiobook to go in the series in Blueberry Cove. I loved the romance and how the couple worked things out. Excellent writing!

Reverse storyline would have been better!

What made the experience of listening to Half Moon Harbor the most enjoyable?

Narrator brings the story alive making one a part of the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Half Moon Harbor?

When Grace met up with her brother Ford and Brodie was right there to pick her up and bring her back. The importance of these two men in her life became the heart of the story.

What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her narration is excellent. She definitely pulls one in to make it a living experience.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

R rated!

Any additional comments?

I listened to the first book thinking the characters from the first book would continue and I'd learn more of what happened at Pelican Point but it wasn't that way. This book is about Brodie a ship maker and Grace who wants to make an Inn in the ship she bought and owned. Again way too much sex for me when the story of ship making could have been a great story if it would have been first. It had so much potential for a five star had it been reversed.

loved it

I really enjoyed this book. This series is really good aumf I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Whimsical, funny Romance

This book is well written and performed very well. I got caught up in the story and listened to it in three days. The characters are well developed and interesting. There was graphic sex I usually don’t read, but the overall story was excellent. I’m getting the whole series.

Surprising!

Surprising sleeper for me! Started out a little like a harlequin but grew in depth and character development. I really enjoyed it and am on to the next in the series!

Good series

When they change the narrator, the series gets even better. I didn’t like the the voice in book three.
