About the Book
Title: Home No Matter Where
Series: A Shell Collector Novel #3
Author: Nancy Naigle
Publisher: WaterBrook Press (Penguin Random House)
Release Date: May 5, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Sweet Romance/Women's Fiction
Three generations of women confront their pasts and discover it's never too late for new beginnings in this heartwarming novel of second chances and unconditional love—from the bestselling author of The Shell Collector.
“In Home No Matter Where we travel to beautiful Whelk’s Island, where a close-knit community puts us right at home. Along the way we meet compelling characters caught in realistic storms and learn faith-filled lessons about weathering them.” —Denise Hunter, bestselling author of More Than Friends
Nina is at her wit’s end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk’s Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother, Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in years. Amid the island’s charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life.
Kendra’s reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was lost. Still, change is never easy.
As the women navigate the tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn’t follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew.

Excerpt
Dilemma solved, she joined her freshly clothed boys outside where they were playing cornhole inthe shade-covered St. Augustine grass alongside the patio area. Grayson’s mood seemed muchimproved. And for that, she was thankful.“When are we gonna eat?” Her ever-hungry eldest looked her way.“Soon. Aunt Dee just texted that she’s on her way back.” She paused beside the wood-pellet grill.“But there are some carrots and hummus on the counter, if you need a snack.”“`Kay.” Grayson started toward the house.“Wait for me.” Bryce tossed his beanbag aside and chased after his brother.After making sure the hopper was full, Tessa ignited the grill.“I thought I heard voices back here.”She turned at Dirk’s comment while Nash trotted toward Molly, his tail wagging.Dirk’s hair was damp and combed back. He’d also traded his work clothes for a heather blue T-shirt and khaki shorts that revealed his prosthetic leg. Yet for as much as she didn’t want to, shefound herself staring.Shake it off, Tessa! He’s a normal guy.One she’d imagined to be a serial killer a few hours ago. Was that messed up or what?

Author: Jennifer Carr
Publisher: JCarr Writes
Release Date: February 1, 2024
Genre: Contemporary Clean Romance
Rachel never wanted to get in the way of Jordan’s dreams, but they were supposed to chase their dreams together. They made promises and swore to remain best friends through it all. But, just as all good things must come to an end, it would seem that applies to promises as well. When Rachel and Jordan end up on separate paths toward their own versions of success, they each learn the hard way that letting go is easier than it sounds. But when those paths bring them both home, all of those promises come flooding back and they have to decide whether it’s worth the risk to reopen the chapter they closed on their story so long ago.

My Thoughts
This story is a 3.5 for me. It took me some time to get into it as I felt like it was way too much background information. I mean we meet these characters when they start Kindergarten and see them through all the stages of development until we get to adulthood. While I thought that was a unique way to write a story with so many details I found that it slowed down the story for me.
Overall I thought it was a good story and I am looking forward to reading other books by her in the future.
I received a digital copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Excerpt
“Hello, you must be Zachary Johnson.” Her voice was bubbly and light.
He nodded. “Yes, we spoke over the phone. Thanks for allowing me to drop my daughter off and register her the same day.”
“Oh, it’s not a problem. I’m glad you called when you did, because we’re almost at capacity. Here is the paperwork for you to sign, and you have to complete the emergency contact information.”
“Thank you so much,” he said, taking the documents she offered. He noticed the other woman still clutched the little girl in her arms and seemed to be trying to get her to stay. He strained to focus on Sienna’s words, but his attention was on the little girl. He couldn’t see her face, but he knew that body, that frame, that hair. He knew it well.
“Mr. Johnson?”
He shook his head. “I’m sorry. I…” He pointed to where the woman stood. “Who is that?”
Sienna whipped her head to follow his finger. “That’s my best friend, Kelsey.” She gave him a suggestive smile. “She’s single, if that’s what you’re asking.”
He took a step back and held up a hand. “No, I’m not talking about her. I mean, who’s the little girl with her? She looks just like—”
The woman lost her smile. “Like who?” she asked with a drawl in her tone that suggested she was ready to get on the defensive.
He knew he must look dumbstruck, but Zach’s mind couldn’t process what he was seeing.
Zach rushed to explain. “Let me introduce you to my daughter. I think when you see her, you’ll understand.” He called out to Mia, and when his daughter ran over, Sienna’s eyes widened.
She sputtered. “This is your daughter?”
“Her name is Mia.”
“That can’t be,” she said, shaking her head. “This is Morgan.”
He splayed his hands. “Exactly.”
Sienna’s mouth hung open. “Oh, my.” She swung around and shouted, “Kelsey. Come over here. You’ve got to see this.”
The woman approached, and Zach’s breath caught. His mind had been so occupied with the child in her arms that he hadn’t seen her mother. But he was seeing her now. For sure. From her bronze-colored skin to her pouty lips and the purposeful sway in her stride, this woman emitted confidence.
Kelsey. The name suited her.
Zach looked away to compose himself. He had no right noticing her radiant beauty. He swallowed. Now that he had seen her, there was no unseeing her.
When she spotted Mia and he heard her harsh intake of breath, he said, “Our daughters have an uncanny resemblance.”
“There’s nothing uncanny about it,” Sienna chimed in. “You can tell they are twins just by looking at them.”
Twins. His insides twisted. No, it couldn’t be.
Kelsey lifted a hand to her mouth. “How? How? They are like carbon copies.”
A squeal and a scream quieted the entire room. The girls had discovered each other and had polar opposite reactions.
“She looks like me,” Mia said, clapping her hands. The other little girl wasn’t as delighted. In fact, to Zach, there was only one way to describe her face.
Terrified.
