The Stone Family Inn

South Port Beach Romances, Book 1

By: Taylor Hart

Narrated by: Christopher Ringer

After the death of their mother, six siblings are upset the beach house in South Port was left solely to their oldest brother, Trey Stone. He never wanted it, and he has no family, anyway. The decision to sell it quickly incites a family feud, and all the siblings can’t help but get involved.

As each sibling finds their way home to South Port and the Stone Family Inn, they will deal with past hurts, let forgiveness into their hearts, and have a second chance at love.

Trey Stone’s only goal was to get it sold and get back to doing what he’s always done: being a Navy SEAL.

Ava Jamison hasn’t been back to South Port since her father passed, but her recent divorce and wanting stability for her 16-year-old son, has given her a longing for home. She’s prepared to buy the old Stone Mansion, and she delights in turning it into an inn where other families can have the same good memories she’s always had.

When Trey puts a stop to the sell of the beach house and demands to know why she’s divorced, it starts a fire burning deep within her she hasn’t felt for a long, long time. Hopefully, the man will get out of her way before she does something really, really stupid like kiss him. Whoops, too late.

Eventually, Trey concedes to a partnership of sorts, and they find themselves working side by side to restore his family home.

When all of Trey and Ava’s old beach friends start popping up in town, Trey discovers South Port just might be his home, after all. And it doesn’t hurt that he might have a shot with the woman he’s never stopped loving.

As these six siblings find a way back to each other, they must learn to let go of what doesn’t matter and cling to the things their parents always wanted for them - family, love, and fun memories on the beach.

Dreamy

I adored this book. I had read it as an ebook before and loved it and thought the voices in my head were just fine but this changed my mind. It took the book to a whole new level. The narration really pulled me in. Perfect for a road trip, except for me sitting in the car with my elbows propped on the steering wheel not going anywhere but unable to “put it down”. I can’t wait for more of this family’s stories.

finding love again

Ill be honest I didn't like the very beginning of this book. I felt like Ava and Trey were cheating. IMO she should have never married her now ex husband but then she would not have her adorable son. A divorce and years later bring these two back to where it all started between them. There were some comical parts as well as some UGH moments. I wanted to be mad at Trey but just couldn't. Loved her son. Not only do they still love each but so many things keep them together including the mystery and suspense. Her ex even grew on me. The narrator did such an amazing job. Great transition between voices and making me see what was happening.

Awesome story!

I just loved this book! strong story line with suspense, mystery, romance! So good! Trey and Ava are great! The narrator did a fabulous job! It was a pleasure to listen to his voice and great job on character changes. Would definitely recommend this book to others!

Stone

This is another enjoyable story by Taylor Hart. This one is the first in a series about the Stone family. A fine job of narration by Christopher Ringer. 5 Stars!

Trey & Ava

A wonderful start to a new series. Trey and Ava have a second chance, but Ava is set against any relationships. Micah was a small character but a great young man.
