Sunrise Cove Series: Book 5
Publication Date: January 16, 2024
New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a heartwarming story about the choices we make and the love we let into our lives…
Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn’t on the list. However, she’s a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story. Adopted at birth, with scant knowledge of her biological family, she’s created her own inner circle, a motley crew which includes her bestie Willow, to help her run the struggling but charming Apple Ridge Farm.
With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it’s the best home she’s ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes….and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets.
Now Luna’s carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she—along with some help from her friends—has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and family.
Luna Wright has poured all her energy into managing Apple Ridge Farms. The owner’s unexpected death reveals not only an important secret but also introduces a complication in the form of Jameson Hayes.
As part of the Sunrise Cove novels, The Bright Spot features a host of charming characters tucked in a wholesome community in the Sierra Mountains. Author Jill Shalvis delivers her trademark humor and heartfelt emotions in this delightful installment.
Even the animal characters contribute to an engaging storyline. Whether it’s the pesky goat or the emu, it’s clear that the farm plays a key role in delivering a home for all. Luna is passionate about the people, while Jameson is a numbers guy. Not only do the sparks fly because of their differing viewpoints, but there’s also a solid attraction.
To pay off a huge debt, everyone on the farm will have to come up with creative money-making ideas. It’s through that effort that Jameson sees the family Luna has created.
The Bright Spot delivers a heart-warming story packed with relatable characters.
