The Beach B&B

by Grace Palmer

Elaine Robbins is running out of options.
Bills don’t pay themselves, and with her husband John gone, she doesn’t know how she’s going to afford to stay on the island she loves.
Renting out her spare rooms to strangers is a scary proposition, but what choice does she have?
Besides—after three years of too much quiet in her empty home, maybe a fresh face will help cure her loneliness.

But when her first guest, a travel writer named Finn, arrives, she starts to wonder if maybe she made a mistake. He’s handsome and charming and warm—and somehow, those things feel a little bit scary.
Starting a new chapter means turning your back on the old one, after all.
Is she ready for that?

This is Elaine and Finn’s story. When this widow opens her home to make ends meet, Finn walks in and opens Elaine’s eyes to new possibilities. I enjoyed this sweet romance with all its wonderful emotions. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Elane has to open her heart and home to strangers. But on stranger isn't so, well, strange. A new comfort and security comes over Elaine on her lovely Isle and a sense of peace at being able to stay there...and support herself.
Grace Palmer is a women's fiction done right. Empty Nesters, widows, newly single, or women who are trying to hold on to hope and love while paying the bills, are the readers who should be reading Grace Palmer's novels.
With the maturity and growth of her characters, there is also the lightness of the beach and the hopeless romanticism of the future.
Your first Beach read of 2022.

There is no such thing any more of a conventional family, family by blood or family by choice or a mix of the two. Every family has its up and downs and dramas to work through, this story is a beautiful mix of all of this. The blending of this family and how they all fit together in their own special way and what brings them together.

A well written, captivating story of finding love again after loss. You're pulled in to the story from the start and can't put it down. The characters are well developed, enjoyable and realistic. .
