This book was recommended to me by a friend, and I simply loved it. The writing is polished, poetic, and I often found myself pausing to reread passages that bordered on brilliant. A pleasant surprise in a romatic suspense! The story centers around Abbey, a woman determined to solve the mystery that she believes led to her mother's untimely death. Her quest leads her to a fantastically quirky little island off the coast of Maine, peopled by an imaginative and engaging cast of characters. Most notable among them is Luke Brannigan, a handsome local who takes an instant dislike to Abbey, and who Abbey, of course, is destined to fall in love with. While this was somewhat predictable, the history that devides them and which they must overcome is fascinating and seems, at times, insurmountable. Together, they unravel the intricate mystery that surrounds her mother's short and legendary stay on the island, finally coming face to face with the disturbing antagonist who calls himself The Lover. The mystery is well thought out and original, as it the way Abbey and Luke solve it. I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
