review 1: I love Ciji Ware, so when I saw this was a stand alone sequel to Cottage By the Sea, I bought it immediately. Throughout the book, I kept waiting and expecting, in Ciji Ware style, something supernatural to occur. A dream, a slip back into time, ghost appearances, something! I was a little disappointed. Once I finished the book, I realized even though I was disappointed in the lack of her weaving historical events into the lives of the main characters, I really enjoyed the book for what it was. A great book about love and deep family connection.
review 2: I absolutely loved A Cottage by the Sea. When I saw that this was a "sort of" sequel to that book, I was excited to read it. While I enjoyed "catching up" with Blythe Barton-Teague and her family, and meeting ... moreher Wyoming cousin and her niece, the product of her ex-husband's affair with her sister, I was disappointed in the book. I prefer Ware's time-slip novels and historical fiction to this contemporary novel. This one read a bit too much like a bodice-ripping romance. It lacked depth. Parts of it seemed rushed. I didn't get a real sense of the area the way I did in A Cottage by the Sea. It was a bit predictable, too, although I was happy to see she didn't include the usual "heroine befalling some major disaster, requiring the hero to come to her rescue" scene. It wasn't a bad book, just not great, and in some ways, forgettable. less
