For today’s blog post, I’ve asked Celeste Jones of The Summer Retreat by Sheila Roberts to tell us how she deals with breakups. She had a lot to say. Without further ado, take it away Celeste…
When the Going Gets Tough…
The not so tough go to the beach. To hang out with family. And forget
the cheating rat who broke her heart. My name is Celeste Jones, and that is
exactly what I did. You see, I thought (once again) that I’d found the perfect
man, my soul mate, Mr. Happily Ever After, my prince. Instead I found a frog, a
Jenna is my hero. She survived a broken heart and came to the beach to
hit restart on her life. And what a great restart she’s made! She now has two
great men who are both crazy about her, she’s remodeled and is making a success
out of running a vintage motel, and she’s made some great new friends. She went
from victim to victorious and I figured she could help me find a way to do the
same.
I didn’t plan on meeting the perfect man when I came to Moonlight
Harbor. (Although I’m always hoping.) But I did. He’s a pastor, and they have
to have their lives together, right? At least Paul Welch seems to. He’s a great
guy. I think I’m in love.
Except, there’s this other man. No, no, no. Not the right man at all.
He’s creepy. Not my type. Paul’s the one.
I don’t think all the women at his church think so though. In fact, I’m
sure they’re out to get me, especially one who’d hoped he’d fall for her.
Well, sorry Hyacinth. I can’t help it if Paul likes me better. Now, if I
could just get him to like my dog. One step at a time. Right?
As for the killer in Room Twelve… no, not even going there.
I don’t know how my story is going to turn out, but one thing I know for
sure, life’s good at the beach. Especially this one!

BOOK BLURB:
Celeste Jones has plans for a perfect summer with her
boyfriend (and hopefully soon-to-be fiancé)—until he dumps her to be with the
woman he’s had on the side for months. Heartbroken and furious, Celeste
resolves to move on. When the going gets tough, the tough…okay, the
not-so-tough go to the beach.
As soon as school lets out for the summer, she waves goodbye to her first-graders, packs up her bikini and heads for Moonlight Harbor, where she knows her big sister, Jenna, will receive her with open arms. Jenna could probably use some help at the Driftwood Inn, and Celeste is happy to do chores around the place in exchange for a relaxing summer escape. She just needs something—or someone—to distract her from her troubles.
Finding The One can be tricky, and Jenna is determined to make sure Celeste gets it right this time around. Not that Jenna’s an expert. She’s still trying to sort out her own love life. But if both sisters listen to their hearts, eventually they’re bound to discover that life—and love—is good at the beach.
