About the series: Some say it's magic, some say it's love. Others credit the sea, sun and sand as the healing powers behind Sea View House. Does the truth really matter for the temporary residents of this special place? In the coastal town of Pilgrim Cove, strangers are welcomed, and everyone else takes a front row seat to watch a love story unfold.

The series begins with HER LONG WALK HOME: Rebecca Hart has her life together--great job, great friends and ready to run the Boston Marathon. Her life turns in an instant when she'd injured in the bombing. Single dad and veterinarian, Adam Fielding, intends to remain a bachelor after being "abandoned" twice. Once by the love of his life and once by a second-best girlfriend. When Rebecca arrives at Sea View House to recover, neither she not Adam is prepared to let the magic of the place affect them. Will these two open their hearts and run toward a new finish line together?

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational romance about the struggle overcoming a disabling injury
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020

Becca had it all going for her: Athletic, sociable, a career in health care. It vanished in an instant when she was in the wrong place at the wrong moment. It had been two months since she had lost her left leg from the knee up, a victim of the Boston bombing. She moves to the Sea View house in the village of Pilgrim Cove, a ferry ride from Boston, intent on solitude and getting her life back. Little did she know that the quirky and lovable residents of the community would not leave her alone! Especially handsome veterinarian Adam, along with his precocious 10 year old Sara. A widower still grieving and smarting after a recent failed romance, he is nevertheless instantly attracted to the Becca. Sick and tired of being hailed as a "hero" and being the object of pity, she still tries to keep everyone at arm's length. Dr. Adam also rescues greyhounds and that seems to be an opening for Adam and Becca. Sara craves the attention Becca offers and Adam gives her the companionship she doesn't think she needs. There are some laugh-out-loud moments with adorable Sara as she has no social filter regarding her Daddy's budding romance! This reader dearly loves a good romance featuring heroes and heroines that are less then physically perfect. Adam treats Becca with admiration without pitying her or patronizing her. It is bad enough for a guy to suffer an amputation but devastating to a woman of Becca's caliber. The author has done extensive research on prosthetics and rehabbing from a limb loss. There is so much more to this story. Inspirational, humorous, romantic and full of surprises. Give it a "go!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Awful but Not Great
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2016

This book is mostly pleasant to read. It interesting that a piece of reality comes into the book when we hear that Becca - the primary person in this book - loves to run, including in the Boston marathon. However, we learn almost immediately that when she was standing near lineup, the Boston bomber tossed his bomb. Her foot and part of her leg was "blown off". Shocked, she was immediately brought to a hospital and eventually for rehab. Generally a self-reliant, no-nonsense person, she approached her healing calmly, hoping that soon she might be able to shed her wheelchair and crutches. Consequently, she decided to stay in a small town close to the water and near enough to Boston for her continued rehab. Despite the initial drama, I found this book kind of slow, light, and superficial to me for at least ¼ of the book. It didn't really "grab" me. The pace seemed pretty slow to me for at least the first half. The book seems like ones I'd take for a quick read or when relaxing on a beach or elsewhere and not wanting anything "heavy".
Because the story was interesting enough I continued. Gradually we find out more about Becca and - to her surprise - a number of people on the island become friends of hers. The last half of the book picks up; it was no surprise that she and a special guy enjoy each other's company. Gradually they reveal more about themselves; we know they've each been burnt by past loves. I found the ending too predictable, but it felt more real than much of the book. The writing was fine - not great and not awful.

Linda Barrett just doesn't stop writing these winners! Her island Pilgrim Cove and the infamous Sea View House are back in another series. (And this reader couldn't have been happier to discover it!)

Sometimes when it comes to series the story line don't add up just exactly right. That is soooo NOT the case with both the Pilgrims Cove and Sea View House series. There so nothing but consistency in both series. The characters are the same, with exception of the main characters that stay at Sea View House. Those main characters then seamlessly flow into supporting characters in the next book.

Personally, this one is my favorite from both series. Doing animal rescue myself I related to Adam and his dream of opening a rescue. I absolutely loved that retired greyhounds were his main focus. Those gentle giants that lead such a hard life and deserve the opportunity to belong in a loving family.

I also enjoyed how Ms. Barrett incorporated the Boston bombing into this book. That was a huge event that impacted many people. Having Becca representing a victim of the bombing...Those victims are heroes. They might not have been overseas fighting terrorists, but they ultimately fought against terrorists by overcoming everything those cowards did when they set off that bomb. They didn't let the terrorists win.

So without any major spoiler alerts....this book is a winner. Overcoming obstacles. Defeating our own demons, real or imagined. A must read for lovers of love, animals, and overcoming problems!

This stand-alone is easy to follow. No editing errors, graphic violence or drag-you-down drama.

This storyline focuses on a Boston Marathon bombing victim and greyhound rescues. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and memorable dialogue.

“They have meds for the physical pain, Mr. Quinn. No tears there. As for the rest, well, as my mother taught me from the beginning: Life hurts. Deal with it.”

She adjusted her seat and got out of the car. “I hate the whole idea of using a handicapped spot. I could walk farther than this.” She pointed to the entrance of the place, taking in the wide wraparound porch, tables set outside in the warmer weather. She felt Josie’s arm around her, squeezing gently.
"It’s the car door, honey. You need a wide space to open it. You know that. And you can’t guarantee you’ll have enough space in a regular spot.”

No desire to re-read this story. I am always interested in works by this author.

This book was such a touching story on so many levels. The concept of the tragedy of the victims of the Boston Marathon from a victim response was nicely portrayed. The storyline of the unfortunate need for no kill rescue centres for neglected animals in the world was something that was wound throughout the book as well making the reader aware of this need. The doubt, guilt, & uncertainty felt by Adam to open his heart to Rebecca to love again was touching. Something that I think every widowed parent must go through when considering a new relationship. The HEA, even though you know it's coming was a pleasure to read. Thank so much for a beautiful book, Linda.
