Synopsis

A rapturous story of second chances, self-discovery, and long-held dreams that just won’t let go, from the international bestselling author of the California-set Miramar Bay novels.

A man adrift …

Noah Hearst is leaving a life he’s spent twelve years building. Professionally, a losing battle for his job after a hostile takeover. Personally, signing away his marriage in a split that was a long time coming. Now, the difficult part: deciding who he is, what he wants, and where to go next. Maybe it’s time to realize a
dream that’s carried him through hard times: owning a boat. Traveling the ocean, exploring new ports, embracing the endless horizon. Blissful. Impractical.

Impossible? For now, the dream alone gives Noah the strength to move forward …

An unexpected lifeline …

Jenna Greaves is an end-of-life nurse, devoted till her charges’ final breath. She’s been called a confidante, a surrogate daughter, and a best friend. She is all those to Dino Vicenza, a secretive millionaire who refuses to even speak with his greedy and impatient family. Gradually Jenna becomes Dino’s only confidante,
and something far more out of the ordinary; she shares the old man’s passion for sailing the open seas. With his passing comes an unexpected bequest: a luxury yacht that invites Jenna to break free of old chains, if only she might find someone to help steer her toward new horizons.

One twist of fate and Noah and Jenna are brought together in the most unexpected way to navigate their future—and discover more about life, each other, and themselves than they ever imagined.

Shell Beach is the first book I’ve read by Davis Bunn. It reminded me somewhat of a Nicholas Sparks book as it centers around a romance. The location was beautiful and the characters were all the kind of people you’d want as family and friends. It’s the story of Noah Hearst and Jenna Greaves. They c......more

Goodreads review by Anne on January 02, 2023

I have read this authors other books and loved them, and I will read future books of his as well… But this one just didn’t do it for me. I couldn’t really get emotionally connected to either of the main characters and all the information about the boat just seemed to bog down the emotional narrative......more
