Set on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, Hatteras Girl revolves around a young journalist named Jackie Donovan who with her best friend Minnie, grew up dreaming of great romances, and one day owning a bed-and-breakfast like their beloved Bailey House. Real life however, isn’t made up of fairytales and dreams come true, as Jackie and Minnie grow to know all too well.
Now adults and living in a small duplex, Jackie and Minnie are leading very different lives from the ones they had imagined. Minnie, widowed mother of a precocious young boy, relies heavily on Jackie, who when not going on awkward blind dates, is babysitting Minnie’s son. Yet when Jackie’s interview of a local real estate mogul turns romantic, and her dream of owning the Bailey House becomes a real possibility, Jackie begins to believe her luck might just be turning around.
A tale of the true power of family and friendship, Hatteras Girl is an undemanding and ultimately satisfying read. A bit predictable, the final chapter ends in typical soap opera style which feels a bit over the top, but true romance enthusiasts may enjoy that (even if unrealistic).
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
