Absolutely horribly written, with cringe worthy dialogue - save your money and your time, give this a hard pass

Salty Kisses is the third book in the Sanderling Cove Series by Judith Keim. I was fortunate to have been given ARCs for the first two instalments as well so have read the entire series thus far.

Three cousins meet up at their grandparents Inn for the summer. Charlotte, Brooke and Olivia each have their own personal issues to sort out and to determine their future paths. A summer helping to refresh and restore their grandparents Inn while they travel and a chance to reconnect with the other Cove kids. Grandchildren to the other Cove families, the three girls have fond memories of spending summers with the Cove kids and are so pleased for a chance to reconnect.

Book three focuses on Olivia (Livy) Winters. While you still get glimpses of Charlotte and Brooke’s stored throughout the main plot revolves around Olivia. The resident baker and chef bringing a much needed refresh to the menus and offerings of the Inn. While her two cousins have found love this summer, Livy knows that it’s not in her future. She’s happy for her cousins but doesn’t have the same expectation for herself.

Austin Ensley was Livy’s Cove crush when they were kids. A successful computer programmer, he’s come back to the Cove for the summer like many of them. Olivia and Austin reconnect and decide to pretend they are dating so they can keep the pressure from their families off of them.

Soon though, their feelings are stronger than pretend. Before Olivia can fully commit to Austin, she has some past issues she needs to work out.

This is a clean romance with a beautiful beach setting and a happy ending. All three books were great and I enjoyed reading each of the cousins stories. This is a 4 star read for me!

Great finish to a beautiful story line! For me the sad part is I want to continue to know more eg. how the new owners will move forward with the inn, how Gram and John stay involved? When I read Ms Keim’s books her character’s become so real I don’t want it to end.

Review in progress and to come.

Livy Winters is trying to figure out what's next for her after leaving a toxic relationship and taking some much-needed time at Sanderling Cove. Livy and her cousins agree to take care of their grandparents' inn while they take a European vacation. Once I got past the unrealistic nature of the local grandmothers' plot to have their children ENGAGED by the end of the summer, I could get into Livy and Austin's romance.

Austin allows Livy to open up about her past relationship, which helps her learn to trust him. The two work through new drama and become even stronger as a couple.

Predictably, all three cousins find romance and happily-ever-afters as they work together to make the inn an inviting location for both locals and visitors alike.

With another sweet story in this series, this time it’s Ellie’s turn to face the past and find love. What a fun time, with the three cousins taking care of the small beachside inn for their grandparents! An easy and cozy read!

Loved this series of the 3 cousins who took over the Inn for their Granny and John and how they got a life of their own while they were traveling 3 pairs of Cove Kids together. It is decided at the end that the Inn will be sold and you will have to guess who buys it. John and Ellie will stay on in their house and the girls will help the new owners. I am hoping there will be another book catching us up to date on the sisters, John, Ellie and the new Inn owners, A VERY GOOD READ.

I love all of Judith Keim’s books and this book #3 of the Sanderling Cove Inn series is no exception. Ellie, owner of the inn, requested her 3 granddaughters come together and manage the inn while Ellie and her husband John take a much needed extended vacation. The women have come together and made many updates to the inn and it is now a successful business. However changes are inevitable and the women will be moving on with their individual lives. The author does a fabulous job of describing the Sanderling Cove area, and helps us see right into the minds of the characters. I recommend this series to anyone who likes women’s fiction.

Thank you NetGalley, Judith Keim and BookBuzz.net for the ARC of
Salty Kisses. This is my personal review.
This book is centered around Livy’s story. The story is about being together with Charlotte and Brooke, her two cousins, for the summer. They are together at Sanderling Cove to run the inn for their grandmother so she can go on a honeymoon with her new husband.
There is romance, friendship, hidden secrets and so much more in this book. This is a book that I will read over again along with the other books in the series.

Salty Kisses is the first book of this series I have read, but even though it is book 3, I didn't have any trouble keeping up. The story is sweet and heartfelt. Three cousins return to their grandmother's inn to manage it for the summer while their grandmother and husband go on a European tour; I love the characters and setting on the Gulf Coast. The problems are believable and show how strong each woman is individually and together.
I'm looking forward to reading the first two books in the series!

This is book number 3 in the series. The three granddaughters are continuing running the inn, making changes, both at the inn and in their lives. Their grandparents come back home from their trip, and things are up in the air, whether their grandparents will like the changes, how things will work now, and some unexpected things happen. You know how life is, and this is their life.
Judith Keim, writes stories with such deep connections, that they stay with you. When they come back together, and go visit the places that they have been to in the past, it feels like it was yesterday they were there.
