Sandcastle Inn by Irene Hannon

Vienna Price never planned on going to Oregon.  But her circumstances changed drastically when she lost her job.  Her mother wants her to share her home with her.  But they have never really saw eye to eye on things.  Matt Quinn never planned on going to Oregon. But a call from his sister sends him to her aid. Matt's sister has just purchased a very rundown B&B and wants his help restoring it.  Vienna's former job is to renovate hotels.  Hope Harbor does it again with two hurting souls.  I really enjoyed reading this book.

Secondary Target by Angela Carlisle

Someone wants Corina Roberts dead.  Twelve years ago her mother and brother were murdered.  Corina and her father moved to Kentucky to build a new life.  She is discovering there is more to the move than her Dad told her about. 

Bryce is recently returned from the service and has been in love with Corina for years.  They did not depart on good terms.  Corina turns to Bryce for help when her life is threatened.

I found parts of this book to be slow.  There was more telling than action.  There also wasn't much information given on Bryce's background.  I liked the premise of the story.  But as I stated earlier, it was just a little slow.  The ending was a complete surprise though.
