Publisher's summary

Ford Maddox was running from his past when he came back to Blueberry Cove, Maine, where he'd tasted both heartache and comfort. With feisty Delia O'Reilly there to cheer him on, he couldn't have picked a better place to start over - even if he's determined to do it alone in his island tree house, working to save endangered seabirds...and himself. But when he finds Delia fighting to hold on to her local diner, and all that's best about their little seaside town, Ford has to lend a hand. Suddenly two fiercely independent people are building something sweeter than they ever imagined...together.

DIY is so much better with two....

Wrong Order

Let me start out by saying the book is wonderful. It has just the right amount of romance, the character development is excellent, and there is even some intrigue.

My problem is that it didn't seem to fit as Book 3 in the series. The first two were definitely connected. The characters were pretty much the same, the location was the same for most purposes, and they were both read by the same person. with two sisters married, I thoroughly expected this one to be about the next sister.

Along comes book 3. Different voice, completely different characters except for a few minor parts, and by reading the first two you knew what was going to happen to the diner. Personally, I think it would be better as the first or second in the series, not the third.

Now I'm going to see if there is a fourth in the series. I sure hope so!

Sandpiper Island

Donna Kauffman has put together another excellent book/audiobook in this series. It’s about trust and love and leaning on another person for strength. The narrator was very good. You were able to stay interested in the book the whole way through.

Worse one of the series

The story line was good but the Voice for Delia was terrible. The series is worth listening to.

Good story

Overall, good. The narrator never quite got Delia’s voice right. Sometime Delia sounded like an old lady and sometimes like a pre teen. Get that her voice would change when crying or excited or other emotions, but the changes took place when other female voices were in the same scene so Delia had an old lady’s voice when others had the more youthful voice, but she has a youthful voice when a male character was in the scene.
