a little disappointing
8 Jun 2009
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read Sherryl Woods for many years and enjoyed her well-woven tales of family, friends, and life along the eastern seaboard. Harbor Lights was a letdown. I found myself not caring about Mick and Megan anymore, because, after all, they are adults and should have behaved better in the first place so I didn't want to agonize over their stupid resistance anymore. This is the third book in the series, and Mick and Megan should have resolved this somewhere in the middle of the second. As for the main characters, Kevin and Shanna, I thought they were going along just fine. Things were progressing well and the relationship was truly developing. Then the book ended. Suddenly, everything resolves and the world is inexplicably in HEA mode. Why the rush? Maybe deadline loomed, or perhaps she just got tired of writing this story line. I felt actually pushed to accept the resolution of this romance; shoved like a good little romance reader into a corner and bullied into accepting that it could happen this way. Well, Ms Woods, romance readers are a little more savvy than that, thank you. I have no intention of reading this book again.

No. Three - A disappointment!!
12 Jun 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The INN was great, Flowers on Main - great, Harbor Lights - slow, reptetive. I will complete the book as it must 'get better' as I have confidence in Ms. Woods writing.

A Time to Heal and Move On!
15 July 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Kevin O'Brien has returned to the beloved O'Brien clan with his son Davy, devastated from his wife's death while serving in the Army in Iraq. He just wants to be left alone to freely and fully grieve. His family honors his needs for a while, but then they realize he has a son who needs him. In other words, he needs to slowly join the living in spite of and through his grief. A large, daunting task to be sure! But the O'Brien clan is up to the task as well.
At the same time young Shanna Carlyle has arrived in Chesapeake Bay and is about to open her dream store, a place where the locals and tourists can buy books, games, small toys and puzzles, as well as have a place to have a cup of coffee while they relax and browse through the merchandise. She's got an accounting background to put to good use here but she's also hoping to escape a searingly painful past that she views as damaged.
The day comes when Kevin is finally talked into visiting his sister who owns the store next to Shanna. Finding her shop closed, he stops by and thus begins one of the most cautious, intriguing and endearing romances a reader could imagine. Both are initially ultra-gun shy about calling their relationship anything more than a casual friendship, but to other eyes the sparks are flying whenever they are together.
You'll meet some other fascinating characters, all of whom are desperately trying to matchmake this burgeoning relationship but who have issues of their own that frequently cause conflict between Kevin and Shanna. Is there hope for the couple? What is it that each character needs to face and admit before they can even dream of more than the frightened and grief-filled moments they suffer? Be warned; this sounds complex and heavy but it's definitely not so. Sherryl Woods has a knack of putting just enough tension into a story and then relieving it graciously and beautifully with a scene where the bonds between all of these characters begins to heal and strengthens.
The fictional tale also turns to a realistic, very important environmental issue as well, done lightly but with significant focus!
Harbor Lights is a glorious, enchanting, light-hearted, intriguing and precious story written by an author who just keeps improving with time! Wonderful story to be cherished by readers in any time of the year!
