About the Book
Amy came
to Rosemary Cottage to grieve, to heal, maybe even find love. But there’s a
deadly undertow of secrets around Hope Island….
The
charming Rosemary Cottage on the beach offers Amy Lange respite she needs to
mourn her brother, Ben. She’s even thinking of moving her midwife practice to
the Outer Banks community. It’s always been a refuge for her and her family.
She also wants to investigate Ben’s disappearance at sea. Everyone blames a
surfing accident, but Amy has reason to wonder.
Coast
Guard officer Curtis Ireland has lost a sibling too. His sister, Gina, was run
down by a boat, leaving him to raise her infant daughter. If anyone knew who
little Raine’s father was, Curtis could lose his beloved niece. Yet he can’t
help being drawn to Hope Beach’s new midwife, Amy. He even agrees to help her
investigate what happened to both Ben and Gina.
Can
two grieving people with secrets find healing on beautiful Hope Island? Or will
their quest for truth set them at odds with each other…and with those who will
go to any length to keep hidden things hidden?
My Thoughts
I'm a huge fan of Colleen Coble's romantic suspense novels, and Rosemary Cottage did not disappoint! I liked Amy and Curtis right away—even if they didn't like each other! Both of them were struggling to deal with the deaths of their siblings, which added a deeper dimension to both of them. There was so much chemistry between the two of them as well. It seemed that every time they talked, they alternated between intense attraction and heated arguments. Of course, their fierce loyalty to their respective siblings didn't help in the midst of those arguments!
My enjoyment of the novel was probably enhanced a little as I read about half of it during a power outage due to a thunderstorm. Nothing makes a suspense novel more suspenseful than reading it in a dark room, by flashlight, with a storm raging outside. Feel free to re-create this scenario when you read Rosemary Cottage! :)
If you enjoy suspense novels, you are sure to love Rosemary Cottage! I highly recommend! [4.5 stars]
