Title: A lovely place to go, without the characters - please!
Review: The setting on a barrier island off the Atlantic coast is realistic and well done. This is a place I'd love to go! (Feel the sand between your toes; hear the howl of the wind.) The story and the characters are not so imaginative, but fall into the trite category, particularly the "bodice ripper" type scenes. And I'm personally not fond of the main character and her cigarettes (smells like an ashtray). Ms. Roberts can write, but her character studies are shallow and not believable.
