Blackberry Beach is every bit as tasty a read as the title suggests. The seventh offering in dreamy Hope Harbor makes me want to pack up and head for the dramatic Oregon coast.

This story centers around popular coffee shop owner Zach and aunt Stephanie. Zach is happily running the business he started after stepping out of an unfulfilling corporate life. Then his attention gets grabbed by a mysterious woman who stops by to order a latte.

Meanwhile his aunt, freshly retired from a high-flying executive career comes to visit to slow the pace of life. Widow Frank is living his life working part time and helping with several community causes. He knows he’ll never find love again after enjoying a wonderful marriage.

And then there’s Kat, a Hollywood actress one role away from global fame and suddenly not sure she wants all the trappings of success. Would she prefer to trader the red carpet for a chocolate shop instead?

When Kat decides to get away and clear her head, how could she predict her visit to Hope Harbor would change her life forever? But fame and an estranged father cause problems for the budding couple. What unfolds is a touching story of trusting in your identity, or the one the Lord has given you.

Meanwhile, Frank is forced to reassess where he finds his worth having decided Stephanie is too good for him, despite all her efforts to show him otherwise. Only when the two let go of expectations can their relationship grow into something that gives them both a second life.

Another winner from Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor, and yes, the seagulls are back.
