BEACH BRIDES SERIES (Rose)

Twelve friends from the online group, Romantic Hearts Book Club, decide to finally meet in person during a destination Caribbean vacation to beautiful Enchanted Island. While of different ages and stages in life, these ladies have two things in common: 1) they are die hard romantics, and 2) they’ve been let down by love. As a wildly silly dare during her last night on the island, each heroine decides to stuff a note in a bottle addressed to her “dream hero” and cast it out to sea!
A bottle found...


ROSE by Shanna Hatfield
When his mother discovers a message in a bottle washed up on a Florida beach, Tanner Thomas scoffs at her insistence he contact the person who penned the note. With a vague promise to think about it, Tanner promptly tucks the bottle away and goes on with his life. Two years later, he finds the bottle in the back of a closet and can't get the woman off his mind. Tormented by thoughts of the author of the sweet, romantic letter, Tanner finally reaches out to the old-fashioned girl, unprepared to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

My Thoughts:

                   Whenever I see that Shanna Hatfield has a new book, I can't wait to read it. This is a beautiful story of just the right time romance. Tanner opens the bottle just at the time in his life that he was willing to pursue and find the author of the message in the bottle. The description of the setting of this book makes you feel like your right there walking along the beach or in Rose's shop. I could vision Rose's wardrobe that covered all eras. I love how they connected through email and then a surprise meeting. I'm not going to tell you how. You'll just have to read the book. You won't be disappointed. I love the story behind how these books came about, How fun!! Shanna's books are always a great read!!!

Blessings,

USA Today Bestselling Author Shanna Hatfield writes character-driven romances with relatable heroes and heroines. 

Her historical westerns have been described as “reminiscent of the era captured by Bonanza and The Virginian” while her contemporary works have been called “laugh-out-loud funny, and a little heart-pumping sexy without being explicit in any way.”

Convinced everyone deserves a happy ending, this hopeless romantic is out to make it happen, one story at a time. When she isn’t writing or indulging in chocolate (dark and decadent, please), Shanna hangs out with her husband, lovingly known as Captain Cavedweller.
