The Bright Spot: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a heartwarming story about the choices we make and the love we let into our lives...
Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn't on the list. However, she's a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story. Adopted at birth, with scant knowledge of her biological family, she's created her own inner circle, a motley crew which includes her bestie Willow, to help her run the struggling but charming Apple Ridge Farm.
With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it's the best home she's ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes....and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets.
Now Luna's carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she—along with some help from her friends—has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and family.

Starred review from November 6, 2023
Bestseller Shalvis hits a home run with this emotionally nuanced contemporary, the fifth in her Sunrise Cove series (after The Sweetheart List). Luna Wright devotes herself to Apple Ridge Farm, a haven for rescue animals and quirky humans. When her boss, Silas Wittman, dies suddenly, she’s shocked to discover that he has left 50% of the farm to his investment manager Jameson Hayes—and the other 50% to her. Luna, who was adopted at birth, learns after inheriting her share that Wittman was actually her biological grandfather and that the farm is deeply in the red. Unless she and Jameson can come up with a balloon payment, it will be lost to the bank. As the two work together to save Apple Ridge, their chemistry sparks—but when Luna finds out Jameson has been keeping a few (well-meaning) secrets, her abandonment issues threaten to derail their budding romance. Shalvis augments the love story with a spectacular supporting cast, including Luna’s palm-reading, free-spirited adoptive grandmother, Stella, and gay ex-boyfriend, Chef. The hilariously named rescue animals and their antics add humor and charm, especially a baby goat named Dammit Ziggy who takes a powerful shine to Jameson. There’s a ton of heart here. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

- content: Andi Arndt provides the narration for the romance between Luna Wright and Jameson Hayes. Luna manages Apple Ridge Farm. When the farm's owner dies, Hayes arrives to help bring the struggling operation back into the black. Making it easy to follow the story, Arndt provides unique voices for the large cast of characters ranging from Luna's grandmother to a baby goat named "Damn It, Ziggy." Luna is stressed at the thought of losing the farm, and Arndt's performance aptly reflects that. When Jameson arrives, he is a prim and proper number-cruncher type. But as he spends more time on the farm, he mellows, and Arndt expresses this well. Arndt's skillful handling all of the characters makes this listening experience enjoyable.
