Over the course of one year, in a charming cottage by the sea, eight people will discover love and remembrance, reconciliation and reunion, beginnings and endings in this unforgettable sequel to Georgia Bockoven's The Beach House and Another Summer.
Alison arrives at the beach house in June to spend a month with her restless grandson before he leaves for his first year of college. More than a decade earlier, Alison lost her beloved husband, and has faced life alone ever since. Now she discovers a new life and a possible new love.
August brings together four college friends facing a milestone. During summer's final days, they share laughter, tears, and love—revealing long-held secrets and creating new and even more powerful bonds.
World-class wildlife photographer Matthew and award-winning war photographer Lindsey arrive at the beach house in January, each harboring the very real fear that it will mark the end of their decade-long love affair. Alone in the house's warm peace, they are forced to truly look at who they are and what they want, discovering surprising truths that will change their lives forever.
My thoughts about Return to the Beach House ~~
I just love reading beach stories so when I saw this book, I knew I had to read it. I had no idea it was book #3 of a series. But you know what, it doesn't matter that I didn't read the first 2 books. I enjoyed the stories and my trip to the beach house anyway. It just made me want to go back and read the first books.
Return to the Beach House is really 3 stories involving 8 people during the span of one year. The owner of the beach house rents it out and we get to peek in on the various people who come to spend time at the beach. I love the way the stories are interconnected and how the previous owners are integrated into the story-line.
Georgia writes very well and I felt like I was living at the beach and was totally immersed in everyone's lives. As soon as I was done reading this book, I immediately ordered the first 2 books so that I can go back and really learn the back-story of the beach house and to better understand the characters in this one.
I look forward to any future stories about the beach house that Georgia may write. I would love to go back for a visit with the new tenets who decide to vacation there.
