Warm and Interesting

Barbara Bretton knows how to keep the reader entertained and engrossed into her stories. Not one is alike, and anyone reading her book will find themselves wishing they were actually there, because somehow, as you read, you will find yourself going along with the main character! I suggest her books to anyone who wants to read a good story without violence, nastiness, or hatred. I think many women will relate with one story or a character from age 20 to 80. Good reading.

wonderful book

I love books by Barbara Bretton. This was a great story, a follow up to Shore Lights. I only wish there was a sequel. Wonderful character development. I read a couple of books each week and this is close to the top of my list!

Didn't want it to end!

I loved reading Aidan and Maddy's story, as well as those of the other friends and family in the community. I didn't know it is a continuation of Shore Lights, but I'm ordering that book tonight. You won't be disappointed because you get to know and care about these people, and it's about what matters most, sacrifices made, and the love of family and friends.

Continuing Love Story

This is a continuation from Barbara Bretton's book Shore Lights. It follows the story of newly engaged couple Aiden O'Malley and Maddie Bainbridge along with their families. Their relationship has had its share of troubles (such as when Aiden fell and broke his leg right before they were going to concemate their relationship for the first time) but during their engagement Aiden and Maddie get thrown for several loops that threaten their relationship. Something is definitly going on with Maddies cousin Gina. She had been involved with Aiden's brother Billy years before his marriage to Clair Meehan, but there is a secret about Gina's son that threatens both of their families. Clair O'Malley is also one of the loops thrown in Aiden and Maddies relationship. She has been like a mother to Aiden's daughter Kelly and does not like the fact that Maddie is threating that relationship. Is also is not comforable when one perticular journalist comes to town looking for a scoop for the marriage between the descendents of two of the towns founding families because Clair had a relationship with him after leaving her husband. Aidens daughter Kelly also is a loop in Aiden and Maddie's relationship because the teenager is pregnant and does not know what to do.

Barbara does it again!!!

I love all of BB's books and this one is no exception. Maddy and Aidan prepare to walk down the aisle, but are sidestepped by Aidan's teenage daughter, Kelly. Great follow up to Shore Lights and can't wait for the next book!
