   Summary: Positively wonderful!!!!!
"Shore Lights" was another great book by Barbara Bretton. The story of Maddy and Hanna Bainbridge and her friend Aidan O'Malley and his daughter, Kelly. I really got into this book and could not put it down.

   Summary: My first Barbara Bretton
This book is my first Barbara Bretton book. It is a touching story, Rose is Maddy's Mom, her and her daughter to see eye to eye on things but one thing they know is the love they have for Maddy's daughter Hannah, she is having a hard time since her Dad remarried and her Mom moved in with her grandma's. Maddy sees this Old Russian Samovar on the auction web site and she wants that for Hannah since it reminds her the genie lamp for the movie Aladdin, she wants to get that for her for Christmas. Aidan is betting for the same one he wants it for his older daughter so that she can give it to her grandmother that is very sick in the hospital. This old Russian Samovar bring two familles closer together. It was a great read! I am looking forward on reading her other books.
Happy Reading Lisa

   Summary: Shore Lights----You won't be able to put it down!
I have read several of this authors books and find this to be the best. Not only do the characters grab your attention, and their plights and dilemna's tug at your heart, but there is reality intertwined with drama. From the beginning you could tell the author was writing from experience. The facts, the descriptions, the feelings, you knew the author experienced some of the angst and/or feelings her characters were portraying. The characters were carefully crafted, the situations real and the emotions deep. This was not your typical romance, this book will grasp your interest, hold you mesmerized and you will find yourself relating to the characters on a any level. I found character traits and idiosyncrasies I could relate to in many of the characters in this book. I did not want the book to end and when it did, I cried. After reading the authors note in the back of the book, I cried some more. This book will tug at your heartstrings.This is not your run of the mill romance. Its much more, has more depth, more characterizations, more of real life. You will enjoy it!

   Summary: A good tale that ended too soon
I read "Shore Lights" on the suggestion of a friend. The book sucked me in and held my attention right until the end ... and at that point I wondered what happened to the rest of the story. Throughout the book, Rose makes many references to all these ideas that she has to share with her daughter Maddy, and that just never comes to fruition. The book ends on a happy note, but I just felt it wasn't finished. The author alluded to much more. I was left wondering if there was a sequel (and hoping that there was because I liked the characters and the setting very much). I would recommend this book to other readers (it's great "beach reading"), but don't be surprised if you're not disappointed at the abrupt end.

   Summary: Great Women's Fiction
Sometimes an author takes a risk and it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Ms. Bretton took a risk with SHORE LIGHTS and came up with her best book yet. Don't be fooled by the word ROMANCE on the spine. Yes, there's a sweetly emotional love story between Maddy and Aidan but this is really a story about family, especially about mothers and daughters. Ms. Bretton doesn't write about perfect people in a perfect world. Her characters are so real they almost jump out of the book and sit down at the kitchen table with you and tell you their story. This is a comlex story about real human emotions and I can't sum it all up in 1000 words. But I do know that if you're looking to laugh (lots of witty dialog) and to cry (bring your tissues) and to feel better when you finish than you did when you started, SHORE LIGHTS is the book for you.
