Barbara Bretton's novels are to be relished!

I truly enjoyed this follow-up novel to A Soft Place To Fall! It's a heartwarming story about small-town life in coastal Maine, written in brilliantly realistic detailed characterizations and relationship dynamics (not just romantic relationships, but also friendships and family-life). The author's style easily draws the reader into the town so that you feel a part of this lively community and its people become your friends.

A 1st Class Book

I am so happy to have stumbled upon Barbara Bretton. Her writing, storylines, characters and settings are all very believable and absorbing. The title of this book is a bit weak and I felt it didn't really describe the book but, aside from that, it was a wonderful book. I think women of all ages would enjoy this book and its characters. The characters were rich and complex, Bretton was able to make me laugh and tear up at various points, and the story was full and highly believable. Bretton even delicately touched upon 9/11 through one of her characters and I thought it was tastefully done and very realistic. This is only my 2nd Bretton book, but I will be reading all her books from now on. Highly recommended. 5 Stars!!

One of the best books I've ever read!

"Girls of Summer" was my first Barbara Bretton book. I really, really fell in love with her style of writing and her characters. I just loved Ellen, Deirdre and Hall...and of course Stanley! I can't say enough about this book...except that I really look forward to read the pre-quel to this, as well as all of her other books. Way to go Barbara, you have a winner here!

Held My Interest - A Great Story!

I read A LOT of romance novels and even some suspense, but there are very few contemporary romances that I could get into, although I'm not sure why.This is the 2nd book I've read from Barbara Bretton. The other was Shore Lights which I like alot, but I'd have to say that "Girls of Summer" was better. It hooked my interested right away and held it the whole way through. I know it's a good book when I'm really sad when I get to the end.I'm now looking for another book to read & I looked at "A Soft Place to Fall", but it's kind of hard since I started with the second in the series... I hate when I do that!I will definitely be looking at other Barbara Bretton books in the future.

Terrific women's fiction with a great romance

Barbara Bretton returns to Shelter Rock Cove, scene of A SOFT PLACE TO FALL, and finally gives Hall Talbot a love story of his own. After being the "family friend" in A SOFT PLACE TO FALL, the good guy in love with the woman he can't have, Hall finally finds love -- and more family entanglements than anyone imagined. Ellen O'Brien Markowitz has spent her adult life trying to reconcile the disparate parts of her background with no luck. In her heart she will always be Dr. Markowitz's daughter, even if her DNA tells a different story. Her birth father, the feckless and charming Irish tenor Billy O'Brien, appeared in her life the year she turned fourteen and nothing has been the same since. When her half-sister Deirdre, a failed musician, comes to town with a one hundred pound dog, a broken-down car, and a bucket of problems, Ellen begins to discover that love and family are both worth fighting for. I just loved this book and highly recommend it.
