The Shore House is the story about the Bennett family who have a house at the Jersey shore that hasn’t been used for three years since the father’s heart attack. Matriarch Kaye decides the time to reunite at the shore has come. Each family member brings emotional baggage and expectations. The author has created a well written, complex story about relationships, fears, expectations, and growth that should delight lovers of good women’s fiction. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

Perfect summer reading. A family go to their summer house for the season, but they all being their own problems, so it' doesn't go as well as expected to start with. Easy to pick up and put down.

With thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest review.
First time reading this Author and it didn't really do it for me as so much time was taken up with the mother and daughter scenario which took away anything else from the book.

I had high hopes for this book but I was underwhelmed. Everything about it was just okay. No memorable characters and a flat storyline. If you have a long list of beach reads this summer, this one does not belong near the top.

The Shore House is a perfect summer beach read. After a life changing event a woman wants her family to spend the summer at their beach house. They all have issues that they must work out. The people will make you believe that lives can change for the better with commutation and understanding.

The Shore House by Heidi Hostetter, published by Bookouture, is a stand-alone romance novel with a twist and the story made it difficult for me to rate it. An emotional and uplifting pageturner, promised in the blurb - and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a complex story, spans a family and all her members.
Meet Kaye Bennett, her husband Chase, their children Brad and Stacy, a sil and grandchildren. That's a lot of plottwists, believe me.
Kaye is the matriarch and she handles/rules her family with an velvet fist - annoying nearly everyone. And I wasn't her biggest fan too.
Only the secondary characters made her bearable to me. Stacy, Chase and the sil are great characters and I loved to connect with them.
The Shore House is a slow burn, with great writing and a captivating storyline. 4,5 stars.

The Bennett Family matriarch, Kaye, plans a family summer at their wonderful home at the beach. Things don't start out well, and there are secrets needing to be aired, wounds to be healed. And now I can't wait for Book Two!
