Newport of the West – Book Two

Adventure girl, Maureen Quinn, isn’t yet sure of her life’s direction, but she knows she isn’t cut out to be a bookkeeper for the town’s undertaker. Wearing her stylish new bloomers, she suffers a bicycle accident in the middle of downtown and her long-time crush and fellow childhood mischief maker, Preston Stevens, comes to her rescue. He’s back in the area and he couldn’t have shown up at a better time. It isn’t long before they become inseparable and she’s sure he’s the man God has for her.

Unlike his older brothers who are shackled to desk jobs at their father’s financial services company, Preston yearns to see the world. What better person to do that with than Maureen? But after being expelled from Yale, because of a prank that brought embarrassment to the family, his dad has issued an ultimatum: Enlist in the military or join his brothers in the family business. He signs up with the U.S. Life Saving Service, a division of the Coast Guard, reasoning the time spent on the shores of Lake Michigan, keeping people safe, is far better than being stuck in a landlocked encampment. After his two-year stint, he intends to live out his dream of world travel before settling in Lake Geneva. But it isn’t long before life-altering events occur affecting both his and Maureen’s lives forever.

Returning to historic Lake Geneva for Book Two in the Newport of the West series, the Hartwell family saga continues through the life of Maureen Quinn, the daughter of Rory and Anna Quinn from Safe Refuge. Set mainly in beautiful Lake Geneva, Shelter Bay also carries the reader to the northern shore of Michigan and to the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, also known as the Columbian Exposition.

About the Author

As a child, Pamela S. Meyers began creating stories, using her paper dolls, but didn't realize her calling to write fiction until much later in life when she signed up to take a creative writing class, thinking it might be fun. She wrote a short story based on her grandmother's diary from 1900, and, although nothing came of it after receiving her grade, it sparked a love of writing fiction that still burns today. Pam's novels include Thyme For Love, Surprised by Love in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (a reissue of Love Finds You in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin), a 1933 historical romance set in her hometown, and Second Chance Love, a contemporary romance set at a rodeo in rural Illinois. Her novella, If These Walls Could Talk, was published in 2017, in a collection called Coming Home: A Tiny House Collection. Pam is very excited to have her newest release coming from Mantle Rock Publishing, also set in Lake Geneva. Safe Refuge begins when the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 forced many of the wealthy industrialists and bankers to move their families north to Wisconsin. They settled on the shores of Geneva Lake and over the decades, their large homes and mansions became legend. Safe Refuge is about Anna Hopewell, whose wealthy family becomes displaced and moves Lake Geneva. Raised by a loveless mother and an often-absent father, Anna has had everything wealth can provide except love until the fire changes her life forever. Pam's latest books in the Newport of the West series are Shelter Bay (May 2019) and Tranquility Point (May 2020). Rose Harbor is scheduled to release in 2021. Pam is a long-time member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and is involved with her local ACFW chapter. She is a monthly contributor to the Heroes, Heroines, and History blog. Pam currently lives an hour south of Lake Geneva in northern Illinois with her two rescue cats. When she is not busy writing, she is involved with her church in several capacities and enjoys knitting and crocheting, reading, and trying out new recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed buying this book :-)

Loved this book, as I loved the first book in the series also, (Safe Refuge). Such wonderful characters you grow to love and cheer for. The story is rich in human nature and there are some tough issues tackled that can, and often do, break the reader's heart. Not a fluff story; this book has a lot of meat and yes, sweet sweet romance that keeps you guessing for a long time. I highly recommend it for a good read, but do get Safe Refuge that first book also because you learn how this area of Lake Geneva WI evolved from an horrific tragedy in the early 1870's. Despite living not terribly far from there, I was never aware of its origin. This writer does her homework on the time period, the history and the ways of the era. I love the deep points of view of the characters and their strong faith. Highly recommend so curl up and start reading!

This book has the perfect blend of sweetness and hardheaded female characters. I might even have enjoyed it more than the first. The author takes you back in time so you can see the way things were, but carries over themes and struggles still relevant today--especially dealing with a pandemic. Beautiful love story.

Anything written with Lake Geneva WI as a setting is a favorite with me so I grabbed this book right away. I loved Book 1 in the Newport of the West series, Safe Refuge, and book 2 did not dissappoint. (Can be a stand alone book.). There were surprises around every corner, no redundant themes, but reality and depth in characters. I became immersed in their lives. Many interesting points in history, some I did not know. Read in a few days and passed on to a friend. I am a very picky reader and am not afraid to set a book aside, but I am looking forward to book 3 in this series.
