Hi, my name is Sophie and I am a hopeless romantic. Whether it’s in books, television or movies, give me a man who’s a little flawed and a strong woman and I will sit back and enjoy the romance. Television shows such as Days of Our Lives, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Remington Steele, Lois and Clark, Buffy, Lucifer, Bones, Timeless, A Discovery of Witches and Once Upon a Time had/have couples that make me swoon.

I’m a married mother of four with 1 dog and 1 cat. After years of running a very busy household, I've set out on a new journey.

My muse really stirred to life a few years ago when I watched a lost girl fall for a lost boy. I started honing my skill with fanfiction, and from there began creating my own fictional world. And in a small town like Swan Harbor, there are a lot of residents and a lot of stories that need to be told.

For me, a good story is a journey that begins with an inspiration. So, grab a chair and join me in Swan Harbor, Maine. There's a lot for you to learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFULLY WRITTEN SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE

From Darkness into Love by Sophie, Bartow seized me from page one and wouldn’t let me go. In small towns, everyone knows each other, but do they really? Someone is determined to cause devastation between the two of the lovers. The story is so filled with suspense and action, plus an amazing romance between the two protagonists, Cameron and Jessica. There is so much chemistry between the two of them, but will they be able to overcome whoever is bent on destroying their relationship?

I loved the drama, twists and turns in this book, as well as the fact that it drew out of me every emotion I had. I loved this second chance romance.

An interesting second chance romantic mystery in a small town – told in the present with flashbacks to the past so I was able to understand the what and why of it all. Cameron and Jessie’s story – a story filled with emotions, suspense, romance, drama, and twists. Great epilogue at end.

This is definitely a five star romance with many great characters. The author does a super job in writing the story of Cameron and Jessie. She describes things from the past, the start of the connection between Cameron and Jessie, how their love grew and the misunderstandings that caused some doubt. The story was filled with romance, suspense, and mystery. The small town of Swan Harbor series is definitely one to read as it grabbed my attention from the start. I know you will enjoy this book and the characters as much as I have. I cannot wait to read more about the characters in Swan Harbor.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really, really liked this story, but in the first part of the book, there were a lot of flashbacks to previous years. It was confusing for me to keep track of which year I was reading about. There were also some other confusing sections. If that is not problem for you, I would encourage you to read this story.

Jessie and Cam were always made for each other. But they had to go through the darkness to find their love again. Literally. Sophie Barstow has a unique style and storytelling. I love the way she gives you the dates and times. How she weaves the story from the past to tell the present. Can’t wait to read more in this series.

From Darkness into Love was a good read. Cam and Jessie fell I when they were teenagers. But forces unknown to them tore them apart. I enjoyed reading this book by a new author to me. If you like small town romance with some drama this is the book for you. This book is part of a series.

Jessica is the youngest child in her family and the only girl between her parents and their best friends the Hunters. Jessica is called Princess by both families and is treated the same. Then tragedy strikes and her life is changed forever.

What happens to Jessi? How does the tragedy affect and effect her and those around her. Does living in a small town help or hinder Jessi?

Swan Harbor is a place you'll want to retreat to when your real life is a little down. The characters are real. I love their words and inner dialog feel like something I would think and say. The friendships feel true and real.

The "mystery" was a tad weak and rushed in this one but everything else made up for it. I loved the jumping back/forward so we could see how Jessie progressed and her love grew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2023

This book captured my interest right from the start. The story is set in a small coastal town where everyone knows everyone, but do they really?? Someone seems bent on causing havoc and harm to some of the residents. The timeline of this book switches between present day and then flashes back to events in the past which the Author does seamlessly and as the story progresses it keeps you guessing as to the who is behind it all. This is the first book I have read by this Author but not the first book she's wrote but because I enjoyed it so much I am going to get her previous books to read and I also look forward to reading the next ones in this series!!

I loved the mystery that was weaved through this story as well as the romance. At some points I wanted to bang their heads together and tell them to get a move on. The epilogue was great introducing the new character! Very much looking forward to the next book.

What a waste of my time. The book had this epic lead up to this supposed bombshell only for it to not lead anywhere.
If you’re into cheating and a storyline that just falls flat, give it a go.
