Surrender Bay

A Nantucket Love Story, Book 1

De: Denise Hunter

Narrado por: Kathryn Lynhurst

Once childhood friends, Samantha and Landon are now separated by distance and secrets. Will Samantha's return to Nantucket bring her the peace for which she longs?

Samantha Owens' estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in Nantucket - a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As a single mom, Samantha can't afford to pass up a financial windfall like oceanfront property. So she travels home to fix up the house and sell it...never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two doors down.

As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again, Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the first place - a secret that could tear them apart.

Is Landon's love really as unconditional as he claims? And will Samantha finally realize the God she found all those years ago never abandoned her?

Perfect illustration of God's love

There were times when Sam was unlikeable. Her actions infuriating and obviously wrong. This us why this book is so good. This book perfectly illustrates how God loves us no matter the mistakes we make.

Great Christian Book

I loved how it showed God’s unconditional love! We need to open our heart and accept Christ’s forgiveness and work on the cross to save us from our sins!

Very frustrating main character

Lots of people have suffered abuse and abandonment. This character was one of them but she clearly needed Jesus and intensive counseling before a nice Christian guy would have the go-ahead to proceed with pursuing a relationship with her.

Frustrating main character.

Sam was a hard character to like. I understand that she had a hard past, but the way she treated people was no excuse for that. Her behavior was real though. People that come from trauma can make repeated mistakes. God loved her through it all, but it was still hard to attach to the character because of her actions.

Too much detail.

Too sappy for me. Very predictable. Not my favorite. Couldn’t wait to finish. Reader did well though.

simply moving

a mild touch to faith, refreshing the soul and makes you look at life lighter and more hopeful

Good story line. Decent clean book.

Liked it all. Held your interest without being boring. Love all of her books , Look forward to next read.

The scriptures

The book had scripture but was somewhat real Life. The book had value and was very sweet. It was a good listen. I loved that the book was pure.

The lead! Ugg

Gosh, she made me so mad. And it didn’t turn around until the last 5 minutes! We need an epilogue if you’re going to put us through that much frustration…

Beautiful romance

I listened to this book on my long commute to and from work . This book kept me captivated the whole time
