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.

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.

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

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.

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!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine

A delightful lighthearted story that had immense depth in the characters. Wonderful believable storyline showing true to life characters doing just as you'd expect.

I enjoy a good push and pull between the leading characters and this book didn't disappoint! Amy writes clean romance with heart and soul behind it. She gives a story line that is more involved than a Halmark movie but will still give you those happy feelings at the end!

Everleigh inherits half of grandmother's inn, cade inherits the other half. she wants to sell but he doesn't. who will win? sweet story.

This was such a lovely, lighthearted, cosy read! Perfect for curling up with on a rainy day. I loved the Grumpy/Sunshine trope and think the author did a fantastic job with creating those characters in this story. It was clean, with no explicit scenes or language, so would be appropriate for younger readers who are more advanced too. Coral Cove and Sunshine Inn sound so idyllic that I finished the book feeling long overdue for a holiday!
Highly recommend.

I'd like to thank Amy Clipston, the publisher and NetGalley for the complimentary copy I received in return for my honest review.

This is a good read.
Emotions run high when a well respected member of town passes away. Her will is a surprise. She has left the inn she loves to two persons.
The main characters have major personal issues to sort through. There is a lot of back and forth as the future of the inn hangs in the balance.
All the main characters are passionate about really good ideas but is the time right?
I like the realist approach of the author. This isn’t just a feel good book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

We return to Coral Cove in Second Chance at Sunshine In. I enjoyed the small time flavor of books written in small town. I was instantly drawn to the storyline and the characters which were well developed. Everleigh learns she has inheirted half of the Sunshine Inn which was left to her by her beloved godmother, Alana. Alana is a traveling NICU nurse and enjoys her job. She is hoping to sell Sunshine Inn for a profit to establish a charity that she and her godmother dreamed of starting but her partner Cade Witherspoon does not want to sell. He eventually agrees and gives her a timeline to sell. They both agree that they don't want it to be sold by a developer. Will they each get what they want? There were some bumps along the way but I like how the story played out. Relationships were repaired and everyone got what they really in their heart wanted.

The Second Chance at Sunshine Inn by Amy Clipston is the perfect type of romance book for me. It was like a breath of fresh air to read. It had so much heart and love in it, nothing cheesy or corny. I absolutely loved it, and would recommend it to everyone!

What a lovely story. Everleigh and Cade are brought together at a sad time after the death of Alana. She left them equal share of her B&B.
Lots of back and forward, romance brewing, then not, trusting, then not trusting, and trying to find a way to keep the inn or go separate ways.
Really lovely, light story and would love to read moreon this couple and their family and friends.

Sweet, wholesome and relaxing. Second Chance at Sunshine Inn was a pure delight to read.

Everleigh is a travelling NICU nurse who returns home after the death of her Godmother Alana. Everleigh attends the reading of her Godmothers will. Enter Cade Witherspoon. Who should the inn Alana owned be left to, but both Everleigh and Cade, who have only just met at the lawyers office.

I loved all the characters, the small beach town of Coral Cove, the drama and clean romance. It's a tale as old as time, he's grumpy, she's full of sunshine - I wonder what will happen - that being said, I loved every minute of it and wouldn't have it any other way.

Finishing up the book, I felt like I had been on a holiday in the warm beachy sun, a sad juxtaposition to our current gloomy winter weather!

I will have to keep an eye out for more of Amy Clipston's books in the future!
