Das Haus In Saltwater Bay (Westcott 1)

The cozy coastal vibe really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on a place she knows or imagined. Did the setting influence the story's emotional beats?

The blend of small-town secrets and love stories kept me guessing and made the characters' relationships feel more layered. Was this balance intentional from the start?

There were moments when I felt the romance moved a little slow compared to the mystery, but it also made the characters' connections feel more genuine. Was that a deliberate choice?
