SHADOWS ON THE SAND by Gayle Roper was an enjoyable read.
Carrie Carter owns a little café that Greg Barnes frequents every day. Carrie waits for him every morning, though he doesn’t seem to know she exists. Carrie sympathizes with the tragedy that’s darkened his world because of her own tragic upbringing. She just wishes he would look up from his breakfast one day and notice she is there.
Greg Barnes is intrigued by the upbeat Carrie Carter, but is afraid to feel again. He loved once and lost, and has no intentions of going through that pain a second time.
When a mysterious sequence of events draws Greg and Carrie together, neither of them can ignore the feelings they have for each other. But, Carrie feels if she shares her past life with Greg, he will see her as a person with too much baggage and run the other direction. As the danger that surrounds them thickens, they both realize their relationship will either strengthen or crumble.
This book exceeded my expectations. They I know Gayle is a great story teller, I thought this was going to be more of a cozy mystery, but it turned out to have more depth to it than that. Though at times the phrasing was a bit fluffy, I really enjoyed the twists, turns, secondary characters, and of course the hero and heroine. Good story, great setting. Sit back and enjoy the surf, sand, and romance.
