A hero who has been accused of murder, a seemingly free-spirited heroine with a few secrets of her own, an old family house complete with secret passages and maybe even buried treasure, a small coastal community, and a supportive family add up to make this just about a perfect beach read or something to curl up with on a rainy afternoon. It brought tears to my eyes and left me feeling happy.

Like most Nora Roberts books, I didn't want this one to end. After plowing through 700 pages in no time at all, I found myself slowing down and trying to make the last fifty-some pages last longer as I'm always completely in love with her characters by then.
This one has it all: mystery, history, humor, suspense, and, of course, romance...
After finishing it, I found myself thanking God in my prayers for Nora Roberts. What would a book lovers' world be without her?
Enjoy!

Somewhat formulistic but successfully done. This time a distressed hero instead of heroine in the huge old house on the shore. Good plot twists and turns with villains and a quirky and gorgeous gal as well as the hero seeks to clear his name of a murder charge and rebuild his life. Roberts is top notch and comes through with a thoroughly challenging who dunnit along, with a tense and satisfying denoument. A good read all around.
First off ... I enjoyed this book.
That said, it follows Nora Roberts' usual formula of boy meets girl and together, they get a dog, collect a passel of amusing friends, and catch a killer. Dispite this formulaic plot device, Mz Roberts manages to infuse character, humor, a missing treasure hunt, menacing (if obvious) intruders, and an sympathetic detective (or two) into a story that was a quick feel-good afternoon read.
I have read most of her boks from her start in category romances. This one is in keeping with that original line. But, I think I like the books with undertones of a larger conspiracy and her Death series better.

GOOD FAST READ. REALLY WOULD LIKE TO LIVE AT BLUFF HOUSE
Enjoyed this book. It is classic Nora Roberts - romance and suspense. The characters are likeable, and it is tough to put down during the last third of the book!
More mystery than romance, this novel centers on a man falsely accused of his wife's murder, exonerated in court but still under suspicion, as he tries to build a new life only to find that violence continues to follow him. The heroine is a bit over-the-top, but other than that, it's a pretty good read.
This is one that I hated to finish and believe that it is one of her best yet. A really good read about interesting people in a fascinating location.
I always read Nora Roberts and enjoy every one. This one was a little slow at times and not as good as The Witness, but all in all, I liked it.
A typical Nora Roberts. I enjoyed it!!! A little slow in the beginning but got better as the book went along. Last few chapters were the best as the murderer is reveiled.
Once again, Nora Roberts at her best
Really liked this book. Towards the end could not put it down till I finished it.
Enjoy the book...typical Nora Roberts but good.
