From the New York Times bestselling author of Castaway Cottage comes a novel as captivating as the moonlit sea.
Everything was in place for the perfect beachside gathering. Lace-wrapped jars hung from white chairs on the sand. Paper lanterns and tiki torches glimmered in the twilight evening. A rowboat draped with roses and vines waited in the wings. Love floated on the salt air.
Until the arrival of a mysterious guest named Shane Bradford, a lobsterman with a tangled past in this little New England beach town.
Like a sudden sea breeze, the special evening quickly turns. And the residents of Stony Point must tread the darker water Shane brings to their Night Beach.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
This story picks up immediately after the last story, Castaway Cottage
The author uses flashback moments to give us some history of these beloved characters and introduces us to Shane and his story. The story also shows the current times as Kyle and Lauren try to move forward after the turmoil left after their vow renewal falls apart. Their friends, especially Jason, do everything they can to get the couple back on track.
I have enjoyed every book by this author. These characters are like old friends and I am invested in seeing their journeys.
Ms. Demaio paints wonderful pictures with her words and they draw her readers in. I always feel like I am right there in Stony Point, on the beach getting a bird’s eye view of all the happenings. This time I could really feel Kyle’s pain but I see Shane’s side as well, I hope we get to know him better. It was heartwarming to see the lengths that Jason went to in trying to get Lauren and Kyle together. He exhaustion resonated with me at the end.
Readers again are left with a cliffhanger, so I am assuming The Little Beach Bungalow
These books should be read in order for maximum enjoyment.
