Book Description:
The San Juan Islands in Washington State come alive in That Summer Place, an anthology set on fictional Spruce Island.

In "Old Things" by Jill Barnett, California divorcee Catherine Winslow seeks to recreate the magic of her childhood with her two daughters on the island where her family spent many happy summers. She has no idea that she is about to revive a teenage romance as well.

In Debbie Macomber's "Private Paradise," widow Beth Graham is invited to stay on an island with friends. But when a last-minute accident keeps her friends from the island, Beth and her son end up sharing quarters with a handsome single father, John Livingstone, and his teenage daughter. Close quarters cause tempers to flare, but Beth and John just may manage to find love before the trip is over.

"Island Time" by Susan Wiggs finds workaholic Mitch Rutherford and Dr. Rosalinda Galvez busily conducting an environmental impact study of the island, although Mitch wonders if he will ever get anything done with the beautiful doctor around.

This was a fun book to read. There are 3 different stories within the book by 3 different authors, but the setting in all of the stories is the same. Quick, easy read.

3 separate romances all tied to the same Inn on one of the Islands in the Puget Sound. A curl up and dream book.

Collection of 3 stories about a "summer place" on a secluded island where the sky is blue, the water is clean and clear, and love is in the air.
