Jenna Jones celebrates her fortieth birthday by getting divorced from her deadbeat artist husband Damien. Even better, the court awards him spousal support. What will she and her teenage daughter do?
When a letter arrives from Aunt Edie asking for Jenna to stay in Moonlight Harbor to help run the Driftwood Inn, it sounds like an answer to a prayer. That is until she and her daughter arrive and find the inn in need of major renovations there is no money to pay for. With determination and the help of friends, Jenna plans to give this second chance her best shot.
I've loved Roberts' books since I read On Strike for Christmas. With this new series, she continues her trademark of masterfully written dramatic women's fiction with a touch of humor and romance. Any wife or mother can relate to the issues Jenna is facing in this novel. This book pulls at the heartstrings, bringing with it moments of laughter and times of heartbreak as the reader witnesses Jenna's story unfold. Roberts also has a knack for great endings. This one was definitely worth reading every page.
I'm excited to see what the future holds in store for the residents of Moonlight Harbor.

Once-happily married Jenna Jones
is about to turn forty, and this year for her birthday – lucky her – she’s
getting a divorce. She’s barely able to support herself and her teenage
daughter, but now her deadbeat artist ex is hitting her up for spousal
support…and then spending it on his “other” woman.
Still, Jenna is determined to follow her mother’s philosophy – every storm brings a rainbow. And when she
gets a very unexpected gift from her great Aunt Edie, things seem to be taking
a turn for the better. Aging aunt Edie is finding it difficult to keep up her
business running The Driftwood Inn, so she invites Jenna to come live with her
and run the place. It looks like Jenna's financial problems are solved!
Or not. The town is a little
more run-down than Jenna remembered, but that's nothing compared to the
ramshackle state of The Driftwood Inn. Aunt Edie is confident they can return
it to its former glory, though Jenna feels like she’s jumped from the
proverbial frying pan into the beach fire.
But who knows? With the help of
her new friends and a couple of handsome citizens, perhaps that rainbow is on
the horizon after all. Because, no matter what, life is always good at the
beach.
