review 1: I love this kind of novel, the kind set in a lovely location, featuring a bit of mystery, a lot of romance, and all twined together with beautiful prose. I also like discovering appealing female leads, and this was one of the most winsome I've seen in recent novels. In Lane Kramer, the author has walked the fine line between giving her main character enough problems to lend a growth edge, while also imbuing her with enough goodness to make her extremely likable. I think it's the combination of her vulnerability and kindness that makes her so winning.Less appealing to me was the character of Lane's mother. Intentionally so, as you will find when you read The Wishing Tide, but as I lived alongside this rather narrow-minded and overbearing woman, I felt I'd seen her before. S... morehe didn't possess the freshness of character that Lane (or Michael or Mary) did.But that wasn't enough to detract from my enjoyment of this story--especially as I reached its sweetly satisfying conclusion.Thanks to New American Library/Penguin for providing me a free copy to review. All opinions are mine.
review 2: This is one book I wish I could give more than 5 stars. It is a wonderful written story of flawed people coming together and finding their way back to life. It is a book that takes you on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns and the ending is one I didn't see coming. I certainly recommend this book for anyone the enjoys a good combination of romance and mystery and characters that tug at your heart. less
