About this listen
After a life of wrong turns and lost hope, can true love be more than a bittersweet fantasy? Melinda Andrews arrives on the Oregon coast with a dream of running the Sea Glass Inn. Still reeling after an unexpected divorce, Mel believes she has missed her chance to find love. All she wants is to make her business a success and regain her independence. She locates the artist who inspired her move so she can commission more paintings for her new inn. Pamela Whitford runs a gallery in a small seaside town, planning events and supporting other artists while neglecting her own talent. Since being deserted by the love she thought was forever, she refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her again. But Pam can't resist the struggling new innkeeper, and she agrees to paint for her even though it means opening herself up to creativity and the vulnerability that goes with it. Can they learn to trust again and discover a second chance at love?

Narrator Teri Clark Linden has a slight huskiness to her voice that lends an additional layer of angst to this moody romance. Fragile Mel has just survived an unexpected divorce, leaving her skittish and wary of love. She restarts her life by buying a bed-and-breakfast on the Oregon coast called the Sea Glass Inn and finds Pamela Whitford, the artist who inspired her move in order to commission artwork for her new business. Pam has neglected her talent for years, fearful of the vulnerability that accompanies creativity, but something about Mel loosens the chains around her heart. The beautiful images Linden creates with her voice will linger in listeners' minds like Pam's paintings.
one of the finest romances

And with that you do get something that is a bit different to the other stories of a similar ilk.
The performance by the narrator wasn't too bad, but could have been slightly better at times when distinguishing between characters.
Am I happy to keep this in my audible collection? Yes, because although it doesn't stretch you story wise, it is alright to use on a day when you don't want to think about anything too hard.
Pretty bog standard

So this book is kinda like that. It wasn't horrendously written or anything. Granted, the two main characters were very similar, like the author was writing aspects of herself for both rather than imagining two very different characters. I would guess that this is the authors first novel, and for that it is OK, but really she has a way to go in terms of surprising her audience. It was very, very predictable, and badly needs a dose of tension or intrigue.
Unambitious and distinctly average

If you like sharp narrative, well defined characters that pull you into a romance within an actual story, this will bore you.
I kept listening in hope that at some point a story would evolve, as each chapter went by I lost hope, disappointed that it was never to be. It ended as predictably as it set the pace to be.
I usually reach the end of the end of a book desperately wanting another chapter or even a sequel. Not this book.
I don't know how I made it to the end, curiosity I suppose, with just disappointment at the end. It had potential.
But that's just my opinion, it might be perfect for those that likes this type of book. Just not me
It's a matter of preference really...
