Between the Sound and the Sea is a Beautiful Dual-Time Love Story



If you have been living under a rock and haven't read any of Christy-award winning author Amanda Cox's books you are in for a treat. Her books have become automatic pre-order for me, and I had the joy and privilege of receiving an ARC copy of her newest release Between the Sount and Sea. 

Josephina "Joey" Harris' muddied reputation damages her event planning career in her hometown. Her best friend convinces to apply for a job restoring a decommissioned lighthouse restoration project in North Carolina.  And this is where the story gets interesting.

Hero Finnegan "Finn" O'Hare isn't initially impressed with Joey when he meets her and thinks his grandfather Walt's vision for restoring the lighthouse is not a wise financial move. When Walt takes a liking to Joey, he reluctantly hires her to appease his grandfather asking her to keep an eye on his grandfather's health and report back to him. Once Finn and Joey overcome their initial incorrect impressions of one another, a friendship forms between the two. 

The quirky side characters and charming town add another layer of richness to this story that makes it a hard book to put down.  

As a reader I'm starting to notice a trend in all Amanda Cox books, and she grabs at your heartstrings with beautiful stories that have the perfect blend of family, faith, restoration and second chances. And inevitably I am going to cry at least once if not twice. So, keep a box of Kleenex within reach while reading her books. 

If you love dual-time romance stories with depth you need to add Between the Sound and the Sea at the top of your TBR pile. Having read all of Amanada Cox's other books I think Between the Soud and the Sea might just be her most romantic story yet.
