Fans of Pamela Kelley and Robyn Carr will love this later-in-life, small-town romance.

She’s 65 years old and ready to embrace the adventure of a lifetime!

When Isabel receives an invitation to a reunion from her childhood friends in Sapphire Bay, she hesitates. It's been a long time since they've been together in the small lakeside town where they met as teenagers. Now 65 years old and recently widowed, she's yearning for a fresh start. Deciding this could be the change she needs, Isabel tells her friends she'll be there.

After she arrives, she discovers the town's bookstore is up for sale and at risk of closing. With encouragement from her friends and Frank, a retired lawyer with a mysterious past, Isabel takes a leap of faith and purchases the store.

As Isabel and Frank grow closer, she discovers he's harboring dangerous secrets. When shadows from Frank's past catch up with him, Isabel finds herself caught in the crossfire, forcing them both to make impossible choices.

Bookstore on the Bay

Bookstore on the Bay was a sweet romantic story about Isabel and Frank. I wasn't sure how the story would end, after Frank and his grandson were taken to a safe house.
Isabel had three lifelong, wonderful and supportive friends.
The ending had a happy ending for all three of them.

SUSPENSEFUL AT TIMES!

Sweet and simple story that I enjoyed. A reviewer didn't care that the grandson was perfect, I didn't even think of that when reading. Obviously, I found him enchanting!

I was surprised how it wasn't just a story of people in their 60's finding love again, but there is suspense, drama, violence that I was expecting. I liked how the H (and author) didn't go down the rabbit hole in keeping things to himself.

This is a clean story with interesting main and secondary characters. Is it to perfect how things play out, maybe, but every now and then that is what I want in a story.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, nice set up for the next story, HEA, romantic and clean. I can't improve on the blurb, just giving you extra tidbits to decide whether to purchase. (ljb)

Exciting

I enjoyed the intriguing corporate lawyer whistle blower and mystery unfolding along with the romance of two grandparents. Great story!

Enjoyable story

Enjoyable story about good friends & new beginnings. A few things bumped me, but were necessary I suppose to keep the story moving. Home closings don’t happen that fast 🤔. I enjoyed the fact that women are in their ‘60’s.

Best book!

I've read several of Leeanna Morgan's books and I feel that this book has made me want to keep reading until I got to the end more than any other!

The characters are so vivid and the story kept my attention to the very end!

Love this book!❤️
