About this listen

Pilgrim Cove - where love can be as powerful as the ocean next door.

On the surface, Pilgrim Cove seems like any other coastal town. Picturesque and peaceful with long stretches of unspoiled beach, fresh ocean breezes, and the sense of time passing slowly.

However, only in Pilgrim Cove live a group of friends called the ROMEOs, whose sole aim is to take care of the town. Only in Pilgrim Cove stands a unique house right on the beach, Sea View House. A very special place - some say magical - to the people who reside there each season. And only in Pilgrim Cove are strangers welcomed, while everyone else takes a front-row seat as a love story unfolds.

Pilgrim Cove native Rachel Goodman has come home for one good reason: to prove to the town and her family that she's not a loser. She'd graduated from high school - barely - and gone to college on a swimming scholarship. And now, the swimming jock is the new assistant principal for academic studies at Pilgrim Cove High. Her uphill battle to win over the teachers and improve test scores might have gone well except...

Marine biologist Jack Levine has a woman in every port and his boat, The Wanderer, is his most prized possession. When he winds up teaching science in Pilgrim Cove, he finds he likes the small town very much. So what if he doesn't follow the rules at school? So what if his boss finds him difficult to work with? As for being housemates at Sea View House? Well, that's nearly impossible. Except for the sparks that fly whenever they're together.

And then Jack and his boat go missing....

Reluctant Housemates is the third of the four-book Pilgrim Cove series.

Pilgrim Cove native Rachel Goodman has come home for one good reason: to prove to the town and her family that she’s not a loser. She’d graduated from high school—barely—and gone to college on a swimming scholarship. And now the swimming jock is the new assistant principal for academic studies at Pilgrim Cove High. Her uphill battle to win over the teachers and improve test scores might have gone well except….

Marine biologist Jack Levine has a woman in every port and his boat, The Wanderer, is his most prized possession. When he winds up teaching science in Pilgrim Cove, he finds that he likes the small town very much. So what if he doesn’t follow the rules at school? So what if his boss finds him difficult to work with? As for being housemates at Sea View House…? Well, that’s nearly impossible. Except for the sparks that fly whenever they’re together.

My comments:

I have really enjoyed this series so far, Seaview house is an amazing place and I love the Romeos Jack and Rachel were very funny characters. I really loved the way they clashed with each other a lot and how the relationship gradually developed between them. Really looking forward to the final book next month when my amazon Audible book renews and looking forward to Jason and Lila's story. This is a lovely easy series to read.

Looking forward to the final book.
