Walking on Sea Glass: a faith based romance with realism and emotion

Walking on Sea Glass by Julie Carobini is the first book in the Sea Glass Inn series. Liddy Buckle comes to work at a seaside resort after her marriage falls apart. The dream of starting fresh is set back by a sudden health issue. As she struggles to grapple with her diagnosis, she finds herself drawn to Beau Quinn. Beau has a wounded heart himself as he is still dealing with the death of his wife and the urging of his community to move on. As their relationship grows, Liddy struggles to trust herself and a man again and Beau must decide if he is ready to commit to a woman who faces a challenging diagnosis. While they struggle with their challenges, there is something going on behind the scenes at the Sea Glass Inn with late night deliveries and secret meetings. Will Liddy and Beau find the courage and faith to face the challenges in their paths? 

Walking on Sea Glass is my first book by Julie Carobini and is described as a book that “weaves a romantic story of courage, faith, and the power of true love.” I loved the faith aspect of this story as it is real, gritty, emotional and yet filled with hope. While Liddy was not my favorite character, I enjoyed the romance between Liddy and Beau as they are drawn together and yet not quite trusting their connection as their own wounds still run deep. That being said, there is a lot happening in this story that I felt bogged down the flow. From the after hours activities at the inn to the hit and miss attempts at other relationships, I feel a lot of it was not necessary to the central story of Liddy and Beau. Overall, I enjoyed Walking on Sea Glass. If you enjoy faith based romance with realism and emotion, I recommend Walking on Sea Glass.
