As a principal dancer with a prestigious New York ballet company, Devyn Lee is far from her hometown of Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast. But when a family emergency compels her to return, her visit turns into an extended stay after complications arise.
Widowed millworker Aaron Steele pays no attention to the buzz in Hope Harbor about the famous dancer in town. Until his grieving ten-year-old daughter takes a fancy to Devyn after she agrees to help with a fundraising show for a local charity in which the young girl is performing. As the show--and Devyn--begin to lift his daughter's spirits, his own life is brightened by the beautiful ballerina as she slowly but surely captures his heart.
But what are the odds that such an accomplished, polished woman from the city could ever fall for a small-town lumberman with two left feet?
Bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon once again transports readers to the irresistible beauty and romance of the beloved coastal small town of Hope Harbor.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Famed ballerina Devyn Lee is called back to her hometown after her sister is seriously injured, but this temporary visit may be more than she bargained for. After years of estrangement, will she be able to repair her strained relationship with her sister Lauren? Devyn also encounters a hunky mill worker, and the saying "opposites attract" has never been truer! They may inhabit different worlds, but who wouldn't love a widower dedicated to caring for his grieving little girl and his grandfather? I loved the amazing chemistry between Devyn and Aaron, their reluctance and denial, and eventually, their acceptance of fate. Or should I say, God's Plan, with a little help from a charming matchmaker named Gramps?
What could be better than going home, seeing old friends, and replenishing my faith? I experience this joy each time I read one of Irene Hannon's Hope Harbor novels, and this book is no exception. Harbor Pointe is realistic, heartwarming, and inspiring! I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian fiction, and I can't wait for the next visit to this Oregon coastal town!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my thoughts alone.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
