REVIEW:

Hello, my reading friends!

I am so blessed to be able to talk to you about Harbor Lights, the fourth book in The Stillwater Inn Series by Tammy L. Grace. I love this series, and there are so many wonderful things about it. The story takes place in the world of Hometown Harbor. If you loved that series, you’ll enjoy this one because it’s a spin-off, you’ll be reacquainted with some of the characters from Hometown Harbor. What fun is that?

The first book in this series, Harbor Dreams, introduces us to Ida Grayson, who is nearing the end of her life and making plans for the future of her beloved Stillwater Inn. The second book, Harbor Echoes, brings all of the heirs together to hear the details of her will and discover the stipulations they must meet. The third book, Harbor Winds, tells the story of Miles Larson, Ida’s stepson. Now we come to Harbor Lights, which focuses on Dawn Larson, Ida’s stepdaughter and a trained chef. As you might guess, each book centers on a different heir. I am really enjoying the journey of getting to know each one and discovering why they meant so much to Ida.

In Harbor Lights, we learn what makes Dawn tick. We discover her backstory and watch her relationships at the Inn grow and deepen. Each character adds another layer to the story while helping move it forward. We also see the beautiful Inn continue to be restored and come to life. Along the way, a mystery hidden within the walls of Stillwater Inn begins to unfold.

We find something for everyone within the covers of these books. There are DIY restoration projects, an intriguing mystery, and love stories from both the past and present. Every book leaves me eager to return to Stillwater Inn.

If you’re like me and enjoy a series filled with richly developed characters, a wonderful storyline, a touch of mystery, and the charm of restoration projects, then this series deserves to be your next great read. It definitely belongs on your nightstand.
Until next time, Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

“Heartbreak and healing collide in the Stillwater Inn Series—an emotional family drama that breaks your heart, mends it again, and stays with you long after the last page.”—Kay Bratt, Multi-Million Copy Bestselling Author

The chef who lost everything. The daughter who won’t forgive. One summer to prove she’s changed.

Dawn Larson’s life is a master class in self-destruction: failed marriage, ruined career, and a daughter who hasn’t spoken to her in years. When her stepmother’s will forces her to spend a year at the Stillwater Inn with five others, Dawn sees only punishment.

Desperate for money and a chance to rebuild, she buys a food truck and pours herself into restoring the inn’s kitchen—every dish, every repair a quiet plea to Maris. This time she’s changed.

But starting over means facing the truth—the lies she told, the shortcuts she took, the family she resented for decades. As a sixty-year-old mystery pulls the fractured group together, the heirs search for answers about the past. Dawn searches for something more elusive—forgiveness from her daughter, from herself, and from the stepmother she spent decades resenting, whose grace she’s only now beginning to understand.

Return to the world of Hometown Harbor with Harbor Lights, the fourth book in the Stillwater Inn series—an emotional women’s fiction story about the mess we make, the families we break, and the fragile hope that can be more than our worst decisions.
