Book Review: "Pelican Point" by Irene Hannon



About the Book A crumbling lighthouse is not part of the inheritance Army doctor Ben Garrison expects to claim when he journeys to Hope Harbor. Fresh out of the service, he wants only to unload the tower of bricks, decompress from years of treating battlefield trauma, and prepare to launch his civilian career.

Hope Harbor Herald editor Marci Weber has other ideas. She may not be a Hope Harbor native, but the small Oregon seaside town has become home--and she's determined to save the Pelican Point landmark.

Sparks fly as the two go head to head over the fate of the lighthouse. But when they start to cooperate, a different kind of fire ignites. And as they work together, might Hope Harbor heal the hearts of these two romance-wary souls?


My Thoughts "Pelican Point" is the fourth Hope Harbor Novel. They can be read alone, but one of the main characters is always introduced in the previous book and events from previous books are mentioned in subsequent books, so I would recommend reading them in order to get the fullest picture. I like how there are constant features throughout the books like Charley, the taco stand man; Gladys and Floyd, the seagull couple that hangs out near Charley's stand; the interactions between Father Murphy and Reverend Baker. The book follows the point of view of the main characters, Marci Weber and Ben Garrison, as well as secondary characters, Rachel and Greg Clark. The book was well written and I liked the twists that I didn't expect. The characters grew in their relationships with each other and with God. I look forward to reading more Hope Harbor novels.
