About this ebook

Sometimes, wishes do come true…

Brooke Weatherby is tired of being the dependable one, the boring one of everyone at Sanderling Cove. She agreed to come to the cove for the summer unaware her two cousins, Charlotte “Charlie” Bradford and Olivia “Livy” Winters, would also be there to help manage The Sanderling Cove Inn while her grandparents take a long road trip in Europe. More than anything, she wishes for independence from her role as a sometime caretaker of her mother, so she’s free to find true love.

Unknown to her and her cousins, the five grandmothers at Sanderling Cove have invited their beloved grandchildren to spend as much time as possible this summer at the cove, hoping that romance might flourish among them.

One grandson, Dylan Hendrix, is a well-known artist who decides to take a break from Santa Fe and experiment with different kinds of paintings inspired by the scenic Gulf Coast of Florida. As he and Brooke get to know each other, he encourages her to discover her own artistic talent. Brooke’s world opens to colors and possibilities she never dreamed of as her life begins to change.  

Grandmothers can be very determined when it comes to seeing their grandchildren happy. A family saga full of love. Be sure to read all the books in the series – Waves of Hope, Sandy Wishes, Salty Kisses.

It was great to see Ellie and John Rizzo from the Sanderling Cove Inn series on the cruise ship Tropical Magic. A sweet romance with an unsuspecting pair being helped along by a secret matchmaking scheme. Ellie the matchmaker has competition. Read Waves of Hope first. 5

Sweet Florida Beach Romance This book is the second in a series that should be read in its proper sequence. The story involves a group of young adults who grew up together in a small beach town. Their grandmothers lure them back in hopes that romance will ensue. Part of the deal is that three cousins are running a small inn while their grandparents are vacationing in Europe. It gets pretty interesting. It is a fun story that will have you invested in the characters from the first chapter on.

The Sanderling Cove grandmothers are quietly matchmaking; bringing the Cove kids back together in hopes they will find their true love and settle nearby. At the Inn, Livy, Charlie, and Brooke bring new marketing, menus, and events hoping they can keep it from being sold outside the family. It isn’t long before old friendships are renewed and new possibilities arise. Judith Keim’s writing brings the scenes to life with relatable characters and believable interactions. I always enjoy her books!
