La casa sulla scogliera è un romanzo rosa autoconclusivo con un pizzico di mistero. Mi dispiace solo che non sia stato pubblicato altro di quest'autrice in Italia.
La storia inizia quando ad Olivia, un'affermata arredatrice viene proposto di trasformare una vecchia dimora su un'isola misteriosa in un albergo di lusso a Savannah. Al suo arrivo, con sommo stupore, scopre che uno dei proprietari è proprio Joe, il suo ex marito.
Inizialmente Olivia non crede di poter riuscire ad ottenere l'incarico a causa della loro relazione passata, invece lo ottiene ed inizia a lavorare. Purtroppo qualcuno sembra non apprezzare la sua presenza e sembra non volersi fermare davanti a niente pur di mandarla via...
Mi piace molto lo stile di quest'autrice perché oltre ad essere scorrevole e lineare è anche coinvolgente. La storia è raccontata soprattutto dal punto di vista di Olivia, quattordici anni dopo il loro divorzio e per raccontare la loro vita passata l'autrice usa dei flashback. E' una di quelle storie d'amore in cui i due protagonisti hanno una seconda possibilità per far funzionare il loro rapporto. Come dicevo inizialmente la trama non ruota solo attorno alle vicende sentimentali di Olvia e Joe ma c'è anche un mistero legato alla casa che stanno cercando di trasformare.
Il libro inizialmente uscì in versione cartacea, solo qualche tempo fa è stato ripubblicato in versione ebook con una nuova cover.
Sinceramente mi piaceva di più quella del cartaceo (uguale alla versione originale e rendeva meglio il contenuto del libro).
Una lettura davvero piacevole.

carino :) é un harmony datato, credo che sia del 2004 e si trova solo in cartaceo, la copia digitale che ho credo che sia uno scanner (fatto bene cmq ). Mi è piaciuto, un romanzo romantico, con un pizzico di giallo e una spruzzata di fantasmi qua e la :D dai, una lettura da spiaggia in piena regola, scritto bene e scorrevole. Consigliato

Campy, cheesy, and slightly sappy romance/mystery that reminded me of the gothic romances I used to devour when I was a teenager. An extra star for the great book cover . . .

Alright. Somebody needs to poke me in the forehead if I don't stop reading this genre. Not only was there more cheese-o-rama, but (spoiler alert!) there wasn't even a real ghost! There was a total Scooby Doo ending - complete with the equivalents of Thelma & Daphne trapped in a cave - exclaiming: 'Look! It's Mr. Smith, the old guy who runs the amusement park! (OK, it was actually Bill, the carpenter, but still) using a hologram machine!' Someone slap the next one out of my hands. Please.

I love Ginna Gray and think she’s an amazing writer! But this book wasn’t as amazing as others she has written. The suspense is very good although I figured out the source of problems early on. The romance was a little lacking. I found the heroine to be rather cold.
Overall a great read!

While it's not great literature, it's an enjoyable read

Good idea, but the writing let it down a bit. It's also slightly dated with fax machines and the like.

Pale Moon Rising is about a "haunted" mansion being reconstructed by Joe and Olivia. Former spouses who have previously lost a child, they have spent years apart and have grown into more mature adults. As they find themselves drawn together for this project they are bombarded with family issues, sabotage, and a budding romance. It was somewhat interesting yet I thought it was somewhat wordy or awkward.

This was a quick one-day read. Love story/mystery with a bit of "gee I hope they get back together" mentality. A good read for anyone wanting something to read while awaiting MD appointment ... or enjoy with a glass of wine! This is a "no brainer" just want to relax type of read. Enjoy!

While I've only read an advance proof copy (which I found at a book sale) I enjoyed this story cheesy romance and all. I know people have compared the ghost portion of this to a scooby-do movie but if you've ever visited savannah you'll realize how important their ghost are to them.
