Seaside Letters by Denise Hunter was fabulous. You know, I never really thought I was a romance reader until this book. Now I’m hooked. It is the third in a series named Nantucket Love Story. Driftwood Lane, the fourth in the series, released in July.
Here’s the back cover copy for Seaside Letters : Sabrina never intended to fall in love with Tucker McCabe, the man she serves coffee to every morning at a Nantucket cafe–especially since he’s unwittingly tied to a past she deeply regrets. But she’s fallen hard, though she’s kept her feelings a secret.
When Tucker learns Sabrina is the research assistant for a local mystery writer, he asks Sabrina to help him with a little sleuthing of his own…locating an elusive woman he’s fallen for online.
If Sabrina accepts the job, she’ll spend her evenings in close proximity to a man who can never be hers. If she turns him down, he’ll hire someone else–and that would be a disaster. Because if someone else sifts through all those letters and finds out the truth, Tucker will discover her secret…
That the person he’s trying to find is her.
I could smell the ocean and feel the laziness of an island during summer break. The characters were attracted to one another before the novel opened, but I love how Samantha has several reasons for not allowing herself to fall in love with Tucker. I found the writing fresh. No sagging middle in this novel – I was captivated from the first page until the last.
