Fiction Review: Windswept Way by Irene Hannon


Irene Hannon's Hope Harbor novels get better and better. "Windswept Way" was one of my favorite yet in this series, with endearing characters and relatable struggles. Despite pressure from her mother to choose a more stable career, Ashley Scott takes a financial risk in working with a secluded widow restore her historic home as an event venue and tourist attraction. While there, she meets Jonathan Gray, who, with her help, slowly learns to not let his physical scars impact his self-worth and confidence around others. The secluded widow's story makes for a sweet side journey, as she, too, begins to open up the world and share both her home and her talents. Hannon knows how to unfold these characters and their mysterious pasts in a way that keeps her readers hooked and invested. These are deeply realistic people, and every reader will wish she could know them in real life.
