About this listen
After the death of their mother, six siblings are upset the beach house in South Port was left solely to their oldest brother, Trey Stone. He never wanted it, and he has no family, anyway. The decision to sell it quickly incites a family feud, and all the siblings can’t help but get involved.
As each sibling finds their way home to South Port and the Stone Family Inn, they will deal with past hurts, let forgiveness into their hearts, and have a second chance at love.
Trey Stone’s only goal was to get it sold and get back to doing what he’s always done: being a Navy SEAL.
Ava Jamison hasn’t been back to South Port since her father passed, but her recent divorce and wanting stability for her 16-year-old son, has given her a longing for home. She’s prepared to buy the old Stone Mansion, and she delights in turning it into an inn where other families can have the same good memories she’s always had.
When Trey puts a stop to the sell of the beach house and demands to know why she’s divorced, it starts a fire burning deep within her she hasn’t felt for a long, long time. Hopefully, the man will get out of her way before she does something really, really stupid like kiss him. Whoops, too late.
Eventually, Trey concedes to a partnership of sorts, and they find themselves working side by side to restore his family home.
When all of Trey and Ava’s old beach friends start popping up in town, Trey discovers South Port just might be his home, after all. And it doesn’t hurt that he might have a shot with the woman he’s never stopped loving.
As these six siblings find a way back to each other, they must learn to let go of what doesn’t matter and cling to the things their parents always wanted for them - family, love, and fun memories on the beach.

The narrator was really good with both the male and female voices, with maybe only slipping a couple of times during the whole book. He's certainly one of the fast ones, but that wasn't a problem since speed can be regulated. What did end up being an issue was the faint "popping" sound that would appear at the end of a sentence for entire paragraphs at the time. It doesn't happen throughout the whole book, but it was often enough that I noticed it, and it jarred me from the narration. Were it not for that, I definitely could have given a higher rating, since the narrator definitely brought all the characters to life (from teenagers to broody adult males, as well as little girls and old ladies). Also, he's the kind that performs not only different emotions and nuances but sounds as well (intakes of or blowing out a breath, sighs, etc).
Overall, this is a great first in series, sweet contemporary romance that deals with heavy topics (abuse, cheating spouse, loss of weight, loss of a loved one). Perfect for fans of the author, sweet romance with a dose of suspense, and/or those looking for community- or family-based stories. ~ 4 stars
Content: While there's mention of prayers, I wouldn't label this one Christian Fiction. There are also some passionate kisses, but while it never goes beyond that, there's a scene where Hero makes fun/doesn't take seriously the heroine's take on a certain situation not being "proper".
