Harbour by Penelope Louleas

Harbour Manning's life wasn't going to plan.

After finding her boyfriend, Derek, between the thighs of another woman, she was forced to re evaluate her life. When an offer to uproot and move to New York is presented to her, she grabs it with both hands and runs with it.

Lincoln Whitmore's engagement to model Rachael started with fireworks, but soon the love they shared diminished. On his final night in the city before a much-needed escape, Lincoln meets a gorgeous and funny woman, a woman so refreshing he is torn between wanting to stay and wanting to run.

A chance meeting has Harbour unable to forget the mystery man who captivated her instantly, and she once again finds herself thrust into his world.

What would you do if you found the one? How long would it take you to realize you couldn't live without them? And what happens when someone from your miserable past comes back with a reason for you to let go of your happy future?

When all the odds seem against her, will she stay and fight or go running back home?

Life doesn't always go to plan, but that doesn't mean you're heading in the wrong direction.

I was lucky enough to have read the arc for this book in exchange for an honest review, and honestly...this book is incredible! I usually go an and on about the main guy in a story, but, it is our heroine, 'Harbour' that shines right through this book. I loved all her characteristics, from her ability to stand up for herself when she needed to, to her courage, but, most definitely her wit. This girl is hilarious. She had me laughing out loud on several occasions, as she has no filter, Harbour just blurts out what she wants to say, and it is fantastic! The male character 'Lincoln Whitmore' is most definitely swoon worthy, and very easy to fall in love with. In fact, all the characters were so well written, I felt like part of the Whitmore family while reading, and I hope Penelope writes more stories with these characters involved.

The part I especially liked about this story, is there is no bad family history for the characters, (apart from Harbour and Lincoln's ex partners) which was nice to read for a change. Their families are both around, and they were both brought up in families full of love and support , which is rare to read in books lately.

I loved the roller coaster ride the author took me on, especially towards the end of the book. I wasn't sure how it was all going to work out, she kept me guessing right to the end.

I highly recommend 'Harbour' to anyone that likes a good love story, with a heroine that will have you cheering for her all through the book.
Loved it!
