Coming Home to Seashell Harbor by Miranda Liasson
lighthearted medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

Thank you to the publisher and the author for the gifted copy of Coming Home to Seashell Harbor!  All opinions in this review are my own.

When Hadley's break up with her famous boyfriend is covered in all of the gossip magazines, she decides the best thing to do is go home.  Upon her arrival, she learns that her grandma wants to close her business and sell the building.  To make matters even worse, Hadley's high school boyfriend wants to buy it and turn it into another chain restaurant.  So much for being able to relax quietly in her hometown!

I always love a good second chance romance but the setting of Seashell Harbor made me never want to put this book down.  It reminded me of my own summer vacations at the beach and had me wishing it was summer already!  I also like that Hadley and Tony had a rivalry for the building brewing for a good part of the book because it almost gave it a hint of enemies to lovers, another favorite trope of mine!

The best part of finishing this book was turning the last page to find out that there will be another book focusing on one of Hadley's friends!  I can't wait to read it!
