She didn’t come home to find love, but it had been waiting there for her all along...

When Jenna returns to Sandover Island after her mother's death, her past and future intersect in ways she couldn’t imagine. Specifically with her high school nemesis, Jackson.

As much as she'd like to, Jenna can’t seem to avoid Jackson's smirking and frustratingly attractive face. She doesn’t know why he’s pulling this new, nice-guy act, but she isn’t buying.

And if it isn’t an act, Jenna might really be in trouble...

Jackson has loved Jenna for half his life, and he won't let her leave Sandover again without letting her know. Too bad she still sees him as the punk he was in high school.

Every kindness he tosses her way, she lobs back like a grenade. Jackson can see how high she’s built her walls to keep out the pain.

Good thing he’s prepared to scale them. No matter how long it takes...

Sandover Beach Memories is the first in a series of connected sweet romances with Christian themes. Each can be read as a standalone.

Get me book 2!!

I e said it before, I will say it again: Emma St. Clair is a fantastic writer!! This is the first “serious” book I’ve read of hers, but like her romantic comedies, it offers depth of her characters that make you feel like you know them personally.Love the reality of struggles and the growth of faith. It’s a great read!!

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book and I loved the characters . I am new to this author’s work. The way she tells stories really pulls you into another world. After reading the note at the end, I am glad she got rid of the love triangle. Steve would’ve been hard to like or when root for.I can’t wait to read Beau and Mercer’s story.

the gift of relationships

After her divorce and mother’s death, Jenna moves back to Sandover Island to clear her childhood home and decide what to do next. While there, the past catches up with her, some memories are being relived, bad as well as good ones. But some changes bring her more happiness than she thought possible…I found the story well written and the characters relatable. Especially how Jenna and Jackson view themselves. It is difficult to let the past go, accept that though we are not and never will be perfect, this past does not have to define our future. I think I am not the only person having to work on one’s self-image, to accept not only the bright sides of one’s character but the flaws as well. I enjoyed how God is described, waiting for the person to wake up and be willing to accept Him and His plan for us. The characters had strong friendships, the kind that anybody wishes to have.Have fun reading about Jenna and Jackson, how they find peace with who they are.

Going to the second book

This is a really good and light book. I liked the ambiance, a coast beach, the character and the development of the plot. I have read some others books from this author. Now I have this serie and happy to get it.

Very Enjoyable Christian Fiction

I thoroughly enjoyed this boxset. I have read her newer romantic comedies but these are in my view, much better.I have only one complaint: I wish I had read The Four Days of Christmas, Three Nights at New Year's and Cold Feet, Hot Summer BEFORE I read Sandover Beach Week. These three exclusive bonus novellas are a Prequel to Emily and Jimmy's romance, and I really enjoyed Santa and the Elf!
