The sandcastle hurricane / Carolyn Brown.

Brown, Carolyn, 1948- (author.).

Summary:

"Cousins Tabby and Ellie Mae are due for a change. Running their aunt's beachfront bed-and-breakfast in Sandcastle, Texas, is just the thing to shake things up... though their lives spin out of control in more ways than one when a hurricane barrels into the coastline. It's a miracle it didn't carry them off to Kansas. Not so lucky are the assisted-living center and a small eclectic group of local folks who take shelter with the cousins. Two estranged sisters, rowdy as a circus, need a referee for a battle that goes back decades. And a pair of veterans, best friends for years, hash out bittersweet old times. There's also handyman Alex LaSalle and his business partner, Ricky, experts at repairing the hurricane's damage--and at making Tabby's and Ellie Mae's hearts beat a little faster. As unpredictable, crowded, and stormy as it gets, the Sandcastle B and B is still the perfect harbor for healing past wounds, finding romance, and making up for lost time. Add in Tabby's homemade pecan pie, and the Texas shore feels like a little slice of paradise." -- Provided by publisher.

Ellie Mae and Tabby are cousins who have inherited an old beachfront Victorian bed-and-breakfast in Texas, known as the Sandcastle. Both women come to the B&B grieving and hoping for a fresh start. That plan is up-ended when an approaching hurricane turns the Sandcastle into an evacuation site for, among others, four assisted-living residents, the handymen Alex and Ricky, other assorted locals, and a bevy of animals. The assisted-living residents (Cleo and Maude, who do nothing but bicker, and lifetime friends and war veterans Homer and Frank) add dimension, but it's the handymen who spark the romance. The unfolding events weren't what Ellie and Tabby imagined when they agreed to take over the B&B, but the situation turns out to offer them a chance at healing and a better future. This contemporary romance with a dash of humor is a light read that still doesn't shy away from heavier topics, such as grief and racism. VERDICT Both longtime fans of Brown (Riverbend Reunion), as well as new readers, will enjoy her latest.--Judy Garner
