Search - Summer's Child (Summer's Child, Bk 1)

Summer Child is my first book by Luanne Rice. Really good, reminds me a little of Nora Roberts, who I love. A little mystery, a little romance. I was able to guess at some of the mystery part but wasen't really sure till the end. The ending was a little "cut off" for me, I felt it should've ended with more detail.

The book starts slow, but picks up speed and is an absolute page turner!

This is a great story with mystery, love, and the power of friendship. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the second book in this series.

Great story! 1st book in 2 book series. Goes with Summers Roses
