When Newport Calls You Home is such a heartfelt and beautifully written second chance romance. I loved the way Theo and Lilia’s shared history, unresolved feelings, and very different visions for Newport brought them back into each other’s lives. Their relationship felt emotional and genuine, with plenty of moments that made me want to keep reading.

– Jennifer Marwick — Goodreads

When Newport Calls You Home- The Newport setting added so much warmth and charm. I could easily imagine the beautiful coastal views, the harbor, and the welcoming close-knit community. I also loved the themes of family, forgiveness, finding your way back home, and realizing that moving forward doesn’t always mean leaving your past behind. Overall, it’s a heartfelt romance with relatable characters and an emotional story about love, second chances, and coming home.
