Sandpiper Shore by Debbie Mason
5.0

I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Sandpiper Shore
by Debbie Mason is the 6th book in the Harmony Harbor series, featuring the eldest Gallagher cousin Logan and matchmaker Jenna Bell. I personally love this series! It’s a fun, light contemporary that you can read in one-sitting, HEA guaranteed, and always leaves you smiling. In this installment of the series, Jenna Bell has a real-life Cinderella moment after her belief in love is dashed by her two-timing fiancé, but her Prince Charming doesn’t believe in happily ever afters.

Jenna is a wedding planner, but she has a secret gift of her own. She can look at a couple and be able to tell if they are soulmates. It’s a little quirky and endearing in my opinion. Too bad it doesn’t work on herself. She could have saved herself a lot of heartache. After her fiancé breaks the news that he is with her step-mom (gag me), Jenna has a one-night stand with the delectable Logan Gallagher. She isn’t ready for more though and their relationship moves into friends territory.

Logan isn’t the marrying kind. He’s more married to his job than anything, yet he finds himself in over his head where Jenna is concerned. Moving her to the friendzone is safer for the both of them in his opinion. Then an accident leaves him with amnesia and mysteriously engaged to the woman he was sworn to protect.

The plot for this book is a little all over the place. There are many threads that eventually combine. However this doesn’t distract from the enjoyment of the story. Sandpiper Shore is more than a romance, it’s mystery and intrigue, and some adventure mixed in just for fun. And I can’t forget the ghostly Colleen who is stuck in a limbo of sorts as her children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren decide what to do with her estate. If you enjoy contemporary romance, I highly recommend this one. It will make a fantastic beach read this summer.
