The Beachside Home continues and Olivia and her kids getting to know the coastal town of Pebble Beach and learn their house has lots of secrets that were not given when they listed the house for sale on line. Olivia has found out from a neighbor that the house rumored to be haunted, so that explains the noises she has been hearing. This is a heartwarming & interesting series as Olivia & the kids starts over after the death of her husband & their father. The realtor kept a lot of information from her because he did not know how to tell her. That may turn out to be a mistake. I think you will enjoy this series if you like mystery with your romance.

This was a quick one sitting read that ends with a bombshell. The characters are developing as is the story line. The town gossips, tough love, Olivia's reflections on the reality of her marriage, the start of a romance and a haunted home are all part of this fast paced story. I can't wait to read the next installment of this story.

Hanging
Once again the author leaves you hanging ! What if you don't hand the next book. She should have just written one book instead of all these small ones.

As Olivia starts to settle in her new beach house, strange occurrences keep happening in her house which is known around the locals as being haunted.
As chemistry starts forming with real estate agent Patrick, this story just keeps getting better and better.
