Crushed, furious, and through with men after being cheated on by the slimeball she thought she would marry, Celeste Jones heads for the Washington State coast and Moonlight Harbor to spend the summer with her sister Jenna, who runs the Driftwood Inn. She ends up dating the local pastor, who's exactly the decent, dependable kind of man she believes she needs. Still, why can't she stop thinking about sarcastic, opinionated, serial-killer-fiction writer Henry Gilbert, a man who annoys her to no end? Small-town politics, meddling townsfolk, and gossip with a mean-girl vibe keep the things upbeat in an irresistible story that will have readers wondering until the conclusion. VERDICT Lighthearted and full of colorful, quirky characters and surf-side warmth, this latest foray into Roberts's picturesque coastal world is sheer delight and will appeal to romance and women's fiction fans alike. Roberts (Winter at the Beach) lives in Bremerton, WA.
