Contemporary Romance

 

Amy has left her cheating boyfriend. And has also discovered she is pregnant. Now her refuge, her brother, has met with a terrible accident that has left him in a coma. It is up to Amy to save and refurbish the lighthouse, POINT SURRENDER, that is Brian and his fiancé’s dream, a lighthouse that is shrouded in secrets and mystery. Amy is just the snoopy sort to dig until she has uncovered every last one.  

Case limps his crippled sailboat into Newburg Harbor, California. When he meets Amy, he decides to stay and help her with her mission and the sparks fly between them. But will secrets and mysteries of their own come between then before they even get a chance at love? 

The lighthouse in POINT SURRENDER is patterned after an Oregon lighthouse, Heceta Head.  This reviewer, an Oregonian, has never been there but after reading POINT SURRENDER a road trip might just be in order. This reviewer was intrigued with author Anne Carter’s details and descriptions of this lighthouse. The characters in Ms Carter’s tale are equally fascinating and kept this reader turning the pages. The man she thought she loved has hurt Amy. Drew is a cheater who didn’t deserve her. Now she must get on with her life, just her and her baby. Case has been hurt as well and isn’t ready for a relationship, but something has drawn him to Amy. Case is a handsome and caring man, but one that this reader wanted to crawl through the pages and give a good shake  when he was upset at Amy for her secrets when he has kept some of his own.  

A great tale, very original and unique, POINT SURRENDER is a book that this reader is so glad she didn’t miss out on. The romance is rated PG and can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. A very recommended read so don’t miss out!
