Pelican Beach #2

Sunsets At Pelican Beach

Rate this book
Moving on from her divorce and finding love again was the best thing that happened to Payton in a long time. After all, who could resist the charm of the handsome and well respected Cole Miller?

Unfortunately, all it takes is one bad apple to spoil everything…

In book two of the Pelican Beach series, Payton’s new photography client proves that she can’t be trusted around Cole. Have you ever met someone willing to do whatever it takes to have their way? Well, that describes the new competition, Lexi Donovan. Will Payton stand by her man and protect what’s hers, or will she get fed up and walk away?

In the midst of Payton balancing her love life, there’s a family scare that sends everyone into a panic. The family would be absolutely devastated if the scare were to end in tragedy.

What about the three sisters? Will Payton and her sisters thrive through all of the family drama or barely survive? Some unexpected news will push their relationship to the test!

Pack your bags and enjoy beautiful sunsets at Pelican Beach! Like anywhere you may visit, there will be a little drama, and maybe even some unwanted competition. But the main dish being served in this book is sweet love!

This book is a continuation from The Inn at Pelican Beach. I loved reading about the Matthews family, Cole, Emmie, Alice and the introduction of Ethan. I love the way Michele Gilcrest weaves a good story with a little romance. She has a talent to draw you into the stories so that you fall in love with the characters and you don't want the books to end. You’ll want to read this page turner for sure. I was given an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

I really liked this book. The characters are great to follow through the story. Even though this is a second book in the series, it could be read on its own. This book tugged at my emotions especially with insecurities after being divorced. It also shows the importance of family especially in a troubled situation. Loved the ending!

It's another 5 star winner for me!

Book 2 in this series did not disappoint! Once again I was drawn in to the lives of the Matthews family and couldn't stop reading. The only problem I have is the books could be a bit longer, but other than that, it's a real home run for Pelican Beach!

Quick read in a sweet series

Cole and Payton's romance progresses, her dad's dementia unfortunately also progresses, and Rebecca's high school boyfriend steps back into her life. It is a light, quick read in a sweet series. Now I am off to grab the 3rd book.

Another very short book-more of a novella. Can be read in an hour. I liked book 2 better than book 1-there was a little more substance and the story did advance. There are 2 more in this series-wondering why she didn’t just put them all together and have one nice-sized book.

Book 2

This is the 2nd book in the Pelican Beach series. We have more and more interaction as each character brings their story to this book. You'll need to start with the 1st book and continue the saga.

Picking up where The Inn at Pelican Beach left off, Payton and Cole have fallen in love, and an old flame of Rebecca's returns home.

A series that needs to be read in order because it's like one story spread out over 5 books.

The pace is so weird for the age of these characters but the more you embrace it, the easier it is to enjoy.
