    About this audiobook

    Once childhood friends, Samantha and Landon are now separated by distance and secrets. Will Samantha's return to Nantucket bring her the peace she longs for?

    Samantha Owens's estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in Nantucket-a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As a single mom, Samantha can't afford to pass up a financial windfall like ocean-front property. So she travels home to fix up the house and sell it . . . never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two doors down.

    As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again, Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the first place-a secret that could tear them apart.

    Is Landon's love really as unconditional as he claims? And will Samantha finally realize that the God she found all those years ago never abandoned her?

      This is a great book, and the author reads it really well also!
    • 4/5
      Samantha's guilt and fear has kept her separated from those she truly loves. When she comes home and realizes how much she still loves her childhood friend, Landon, it is a tug of war between trust and keeping herself emotionally safe. I'd like to meet the man that could wait patiently through all her emotional storms!
    • 5/5
      If you are looking for a good romance novel with a strong faith message, look no farther than Surrender Bay by Denise Hunter. Set on Nantucket Island, it is also a great book for your summer getaway, even if it is just the backyard or porch. Samantha Owens returns to her childhood home with her eleven year old daughter to clean out her step-father’s house. The proceeds from the sale of the cottage will allow Samantha to pay off bills and giver her daughter all she needs to have a good life. But the memories of abandonment and bad choices become all too real as Samantha struggles to keep her heart untouched and her goals in place.I found myself thinking about the story of Hosea and Gomer while turning the pages of Surrender Bay. While the situations are different, this is a story of unconditional love — a gift we just have to accept, not work to deserve. And while God is not mentioned by the characters, His fingerprints are all over the story. I think this would be a great book for those who don’t know or understand the love God has for us. It is a great book to open that discussion. My book club will be discussing Surrender Bay on Friday evening, and I anticipate some wonderful conversations concerning the story line, the characters and God’s nature. If you have read Surrender Bay, please leave me a comment I can share with my group. And if you have not read it, click HERE to see how you can win a copy of the book.Highly Recommended.

      The story was in itself a good one. I got sick of her over and over anxieties over the same thing of not trusting the people around her. She seemed like such a head case.
    • 3/5
      Samantha Owens is like a lot of single moms, struggling to make ends meet yet hoping to provide for a better future for her daughter, Caden. So when she recieves word that her stepfather has died and left her his seaside cottage she takes a leave of absence so that she and her daughter can go fix it up and sell it. Returning to her childhood home means facing a lot of disturbing memories, but what she doesn't bank on is that her childhood sweetheart, Landon, will also be just two doors down. This romance is also a powerful allegory of the way God loves us and woos us unconditionally. Not all readers may get this, and while the depth of Landon's love touched my heart, I wondered if other readers would get that it was a godly love or just think it was a wordly romance.
