Second Chance at Sunshine Inn by Amy Clipston is about two people inheriting a Inn and the things you discover about yourself as you try to work together. Everleigh inherited the Sunshine Inn from her Godmother and she has fixed ideas about what she wants to do with it. Cade inherited the other half of Sunshine Inn and he has his own ideas. I usually love these kind of stories but unfortunately, I did not like Everleigh at all and this made it hard to enjoy the overall story. I thought this book was well written.

Another great book from this author. It’s different from her normal genre but I did enjoyed it.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for my honest opinion

Everleigh es enfermera viajera (no estoy segura si así se dice en español) y tuvo que regresar a su pueblo natal para asistir al funeral de Alana, quien era como una tía para ella. En la lectura del testamento, se entera de que heredó la mitad de la posada junto con Cade, un trabajador del lugar. Everleigh se siente feliz porque ve en eso una oportunidad para poner en marcha la organización sin fines de lucro que ella y Alana habían soñado. Para hacerlo, planea vender la posada, pero Cade no está de acuerdo, ya que quiere respetar el deseo de Alana de expandir la posada. Como ambos tienen ideas completamente diferentes, llegan a un acuerdo: Everleigh tendrá dos meses para encontrar compradores con ciertas características y, si no lo logra antes del Día de Acción de Gracias, Cade se quedará a cargo y ella se irá.

Durante esos dos meses, ambos deberán convivir, ayudarse y conocerse, lo que les llevará a cuestionar si realmente están en lo correcto con sus ideas. ¿Al final prevalecerá el amor o cada uno seguirá su propio camino?

Estuvo entretenido, aunque me molestó que Everleigh fuera tan entrometida y no se diera cuenta de que se estaba metiendo en asuntos que no le incumbían.




Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I never hesitate to recommend a book by Amy Clipson. They are always sweet, clean stories with characters that are not soon forgotten. This book is no exception.
In Second Chance at Sunshine Inn, we meet Everleigh, a travel NICU nurse who returns home for the reading of her beloved Godmother’s will. To her surprise, she learns that she is the sole family member named to inherit half of all the assets, including the seaside bed-and-breakfast that belonged to Aunt Alena, who is also her Godmother. The other beneficiary is Cade Witherspoon, who is set to receive the remaining half of the assets, including the B&B. Cade has worked as a handyman for Everleigh's Godmother during the last couple of years, providing care and support during Alena's final days.
Everleigh and Alena had once discussed establishing a non-profit organization to assist parents with expenses related to their newborns’ extended stays in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Everleigh is determined to sell the B&B to fund this initiative, while Cade has a different vision: he believes he can make the B&B even more successful with his own business plan.
Cade, occasionally grumpy and navigating the aftermath of a recent breakup and the loss of his restaurant, complicates matters. Although a friendship begins to form between Everleigh and Cade, their differing goals lead to clashes. The story also delves into the familial challenges each character faces. Everleigh longs for a deeper relationship with her older sister yet struggles to connect with her. In contrast, Cade, who was raised as an only child and always wanted a sibling, finds his world turned upside down when an unknown half-brother appears unexpectedly.
The characters in this heartwarming, compelling story are relatable and endearing. From the very first page, the narrative captured my heart, and I found myself reading it straight through.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all comments and opinions are my own.

Second chance at Sunshine Inn is a sweet romance with relationship conflicts and second chances. Everleigh and Cade inherit a B & B, and do not see eye to eye on what to do with it. We watch them deal with grief and goals, while also finding love along the way.

Thank you netgalley and Thomas Nelson for an arc

I want to check in at Sunshine Inn and visit Coral Cove! I love books set in beach towns, they are so relaxing to me.

This book was filled with all of the things that I enjoy--romance, drama, family relationships, etc.

Alana reminded me of my grandma. Alana loved those around her deeply and was such an encouragement to those that were in her life.

I loved the juxtaposition between Cade and Everleigh. He was kind of grumpy and rough around the edges and she was filled with sunshine. Yet he was filled with so much compassion for others.

The family relationships added a little bit of drama to the story and made me yearn for restoration.

Another great story by this author!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

this is a contemporary romance with the enemies to lovers trope. And this will be a happily ever after--everything comes together and everyone is smiling at the end book. So if you'd rather one that is more...realistic, this won't be it. but if you just need a feel good story, this is your jam.

Although it's part of the Christian fiction genre, it's there because of the author and because it's just a clean story. There isn't any scripture or God other than mentioning going to church. So don't expect any faith aspects.

This is an opposites-attract trope too.

the story was sweet, though you wanted to smack the lead female a few times for her naivety and cluelessness.

I'm just going to give it 3 stars because it's predictable and didn't have the character buildup I like, nor did it have the faith elements I need in Christian fiction.

*Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for my ARC of this book. All opinions are 100% my own.

I fell in love with the characters from this book. I just loved their story and the setting of this book: wonderfully done! A must TBR for your 2025 lists.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Cade and Everleigh were thrown together after both inheriting a B&B but their hearts were not on the same page. Everleigh had her own idea of what she wanted to do with the Inn and Cade wanted the total opposite.

This books delves into grief and moving on from grief. Everleigh really wanted to honor her Godmothers wishes but sometimes time and a heart change can make the most stubborn hearts turn to sunshine.

SECOND CHANCE AT SUNSHINE INN by AMY CLIPSTON is a most enjoyable romance novel with interesting characters. It is a story about second chances, relationships, forgiveness and family dynamics, set in Coral Cove where Everleigh Hartne,t, who is devastated at the death of her beloved godmother and aunt, Alana, is horrified to find that she has to share Sunshine Inn with Cade Witherspoon, who has been running the place with Alana and who also looked after her when she was ill. They start off on the wrong foot with Everleigh wanting to sell and use her share of the money to run a non-profit to help parents with medical care for their very sick babies, .feeling Alana wanted her to do this.. Cade,, on the other hand,, who has been badly hurt, does not want to sell or move from Sunshine Inn…………..
Cade and Everleigh are complete opposites, with Everleigh’s sunny and trusting nature, and Cade being bitter and grumpy. Will their shaky start turn into friendship and maybe something more, or are they both too busy guarding their hearts?………
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Just finished this sweet love story and this book is properly named!
It’s a sweet love story that I enjoyed very much and hated to see it end.
It’s also about 2nd chances (of course) and forgiveness which to me is the hardest and best part.
This beautiful story is full of love and family which is my absolute favorite in a book. Secrets that keep you turning the pages to see what happens will keep you rooting for the characters in their journey of life.
It will make you cry and laugh like it did me.
I love that Clipston can make her readers feel her character’s emotions and make friends with them.
Cade’s mom really made made mad but yet tore my heart out at the same time. That was terrible what her parents made her do! Wow! Not a great decision at all!
This is wonderful story and will be my favorite by her.
“An angel always finds its way to you, even in your darkest moments.”
Yes they do! Never forget that And God is always with us as well.
5 stars for a wonderful read. I highly recommend!
