Title:The Bright Spot

By: Jill Shalvis 

Pub Date: January 16, 2024


SYNOPSIS: 

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.


𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬:

I really enjoyed this book! I didn't realize that it was part of a series, I fell in love with the cover and the rest was history! The Bright Spot is book 5 of the Sunrise Cove Series by Jill Shalvis.  It definitely can be read as a stand-alone without feeling lost. 


I loved all of the characters in this book. It was so amazing how they all came together to work for the success of the farm! I was rooting for them all to succeed in their own mini stories within this book. My favorite character is Luna's grandma, Stella. She had me laughing throughout the book! All of the animals were great too! I loved all the creative names for them! 


The story is well written and I really felt as though I was there with them on the farm. There were a few things that thought were a little over the top…the financial situation with the balloon payment and Willow. 


I will be going back and reading the previous books. Can't wait to read more of Jill's books!
