A New Year in the Keys

Coconut Key, Book 8

By: Hope Holloway

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Come back to Coconut Key as the New Year brings surprises, secrets, and second chances… and one shocking new arrival!

For Beck and her mother, Lovely, the serene island life they've carefully built is about to be upended. Plans for a quiet holiday with no guests at their popular Coquina House Bed & Breakfast are disrupted when they agree to host a trio of last-minute guests. These unexpected arrivals stir up more than just the peaceful waters of Coconut Key, leading to revelations that will transform the family forever.

At seventy-five, Lovely is thriving—healthy, happy, and finally spending her life with Beck, the daughter she never had a chance to raise. But when a figure from the past steps into her home—and heart—in a way she never dreamed possible, Lovely faces the daunting task of reimagining her entire life.

Meanwhile, Beck is standing at her own crossroads. Her newfound love, Oliver, is torn between his native Australia and their idyllic life in Coconut Key. When an opportunity arises that could give Oliver everything he wants, Beck must make a difficult choice: pursue her own dreams of happiness or sacrifice everything for the man she loves.

As a new year dawns on Coconut Key, there's a wedding on the horizon and babies on the way, so celebration should be in the air. But will the changes, choices, and challenges ahead bring an end to this family's hard-won happiness?

The Coconut Key Series celebrates older heroines, second-chance romance, entangled families, and lifelong friendships. With a cast of unforgettable characters and stories that touch every woman's heart, you'll be binging your way through the Keys!

I loved the stories and mixed and twinned lives. Their gnarled tree it about as gnarled as my own. Love it!

No dislikes at all. I just wish there was more to read. I want to know how Lovely and Eddie’s story ends

Pure joy!

I love that a book can be written and show love and romance without being vulgar.

Add to film

This would make a great Netflix series. Would love to see all the views on the screen

Positive family engagement,

I enjoyed this book specially that it was written in The Keys also I can identify with the positive family togetherness.

The characters were great!

I loved that all family members were left with solution for their lives, while the younger characters were left with possibilities.
