Nantucket Homes

Nantucket Beach Plum Cove Inn, Book 8

By: Pamela M. Kelley

Narrated by: Leslie Howard

It's Fall on Nantucket—and change is in the air! There's a new arrival to the island. Kay Johnson, a widow, was a friend of Lisa's mother and is like an aunt to Lisa. Kay is excited to relax and enjoy Nantucket—she’s already signed up for a Needlepoint class. She’s not at all looking for romance, but she is happy to make a new friend in neighbor Walter Sturgess, a widower.

When the story begins, Walter's son Travis, CEO of a tech company he founded in Silicon Valley, and his four-year-old daughter, Sophie, are living with Walter until Travis's new home is ready for them to move in.

That new home is being built by Chase Hodges, Lisa's son, and is located on the ocean, next to the home where Victoria grew up—and is now living temporarily with her parents, since she and Sean—her long-term boyfriend and fiancé, broke up.

When she sees Travis for the first time in many years, Victoria realizes he is in a similar place, since his divorce. She didn't even recognize Travis at first. He had to remind her that they'd once dated in high school, before she dumped him for Sean, the star quarterback. Travis is all grown-up now, but even if she was interested in dating, Victoria has never been anxious to have children, let alone take on someone else's.

Meanwhile, Lisa's online food business was growing steadily until recently when she discovered several competitors making copycat lobster quiches and it is affecting her sales. Marley, her marketing advisor, studies the situation and advises what Lisa thinks is a questionable suggestion—but she's willing to give it a try.

Chase and Beth are also dealing with some unwelcome competition, when Chase discovers that he's losing new business bids to an upstart construction company—that is underbidding by such an amount that Chase can't imagine how they are making a profit.

And speaking of babies, Victoria isn't the only one who isn't sure she wants to have children. Now that she and Tyler are married, Kristen has been thinking a lot about that as well.

Come back to Nantucket and see what all of your old friends are up to. If you like romantic women's fiction and family focused stories you might find yourself addicted to this series. Be sure to start with book one, The Nantucket Inn.

Great series!

I have really enjoyed listening to the Nantucket series. Can't wait for the next one.

Just want to keep reading

I love Pamela Kelley and I always look forward to her next book in the Nantucket Series!!

Another wonderful story!

I really enjoyed this story very much. Especially how Victoria’s personality changed, and the introduction of Kay and Walter.

Don't read this book if you're on a diet.

As usual, there is a lot of food "porn" in this book. Reader beware. But, of course, very enjoyable read.

Nantucket dreaming

These books have made me long to go to Nantucket. I feel like each character is a someone I’d like to know. I think Pam should put a cookbook out of all the wonderful recipes mentioned in this series. I hope there will be a book 9.

love this series!

I absolutely love this series and all of the truly relatable characters. The stories are sweet and appropriate, without all the senseless graphic descriptions of intimate scenes.

PK has aneasy-reading writing style. She must really love food because all of her stories have very detailed descriptions of food and beverages...

Narration is perfect!

Last book of the a great series!

This entire series was wonderful and well written. Highly recommend! You will feel like you are in Nantucket by the 2nd chapter!

Nantucket Homes

Loved it. great ending to the beach plum cove series. loved how everyone ended up.

Love Pamela Kelley!

Always enjoy her stories + the characters! Never too heavy + always an easy read. Bonus - the food references are divine + always leave me yearning for summer.

Love this series

I have truly enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book to come. The narrator has a lovely tone, very calming. There are several sections that need editing such as the mixing up of the character Victoria. She is called Vanessa in several sections and in the next few sentences by the correct name. There are several other edits that should have been addressed but overall I enjoyed the story.
