During my marathon reading/writing time this summer, I was introduced to another series that I love, Colleen Coble’s Sunset Cove Novels.
The Inn At Ocean’s Edge was book one, released in April of 2015. I’m currently reading book two, Mermaid Moon. Book three, Twilight at Blueberry Barrens, is patiently waiting underneath it to be picked up as soon as book two is finished!
Can we just stop and say “too many books, too little time?”
My Take:
I’ve never been to Maine, but now I feel as though I have been to a beautiful “downeast” seaside town where the scenery is beautiful, the secrets are well-kept, and the local law enforcement officers are to die for.
The Inn at Ocean’s Edge was one of those books that kept me reading into the night, and the second installment is no different. Book three promises to bring more to light about a character introduced in book one, and I can’t wait!
Here’s the back-cover copy for book one, The Inn at Ocean’s Edge:
Claire’s visit to a luxury hotel in Maine awakens repressed memories and threatens all she holds dear.
In 1989, Claire Dellamare disappeared from her own fourth birthday party at the Hotel Tourmaline on the island of Folly Shoals, Maine. She showed up a year later at the same hotel, with a note pinned to her dress but no explanation. Nobody knows where Claire spent that year—and until now, Claire didn’t even know she had ever been missing.
But when Claire returns to the Hotel Tourmaline for a business meeting with her CEO father, disturbing memories begin to surface . . . despite her parents’ best efforts to keep them forgotten.
Luke Rocco lost his mother under equally mysterious circumstances—at the same time Claire disappeared. After a chance encounter reveals the unlikely link between them, Claire and Luke set out together to uncover the truth about what happened that fateful year.
With flashbacks swimming just beneath her consciousness and a murderer threatening her safety, Claire’s very life depends on unscrambling her past . . . even if her family refuses to acknowledge it. Someone—maybe everyone—is hiding something from Claire Dellamare, and it will cost her everything to drag the truth out into the light.
If you’re looking for a great romantic suspense read, this one will fill the bill.
Happy Reading!
P.S. I bought The Inn At Ocean’s Edge when it was on sale on Kindle, but checked the other two out from the library! I think I have a lot of catching up to do!
