Pathway Home

Yesterday's Love #4

by Michele Ashman Bell

After just one year of a blissful marriage, Cami Gardner is alone, mourning the loss of her departed husband. She's struggling to continue down the pathway of life, searching for a reason to feel alive again.

But on a seemingly ordinary summer night, a group of mysterious strangers checks into the Sea Rose Bed and Breakfast that she tends with her grandfather. One is a handsome man with eyes that hold a glimpse of pain . . . something Cami recognizes from her own heart. The others speak of a lost treasure, the legend of Spanish gold buried somewhere along the nearby coastline.

For Cami, the future holds an adventure more exhiliarating and perilous than anything she's ever imagined. And, with tensions nearing their breaking points, she'll be forced to make a choice that may cost her her very life. She's also about to take the most perilous journey of all-- inviting someone else onto the pathway she's walked alone for so long . . . and her heart may never be the same.

About the author

I grew up in St. George, Utah, where a lot of my family still lives, but now reside with my husband and family in the Salt Lake City area. My favorite thing to do is support my kids in their many interests. Between basketball, ballet and piano lessons we squeeze a lot into a week, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Reviews

[Rosemary Cantrell]

This is the 4th book in a series, although I have not read the others. The story seems to work just fine, though, without the other books for background.

In this story, Cami is a young widow struggling to keep going. She runs a bed and breakfast that has been in the family for generations. She has several mysterious guests over a period of time, all leading to the big mystery about a treasure chest of gold having been lost on the coast years before.

One of the guests is a man who seems as full of pain as Cami herself. Of course, their relationship will eventually bloom into love. At least, the progression of the relationship is more believable than many of these "clean" romance novels.

There is some adventure, some unexpected events, some tension, and lots of happiness in the end.

It was not a bad book.

[Shae Burton]

This is a sweet story about loss and love, mostly about love. Cami is in more than one of her books if I recall correctly and is a delight to read about. Her setting, her story, her growth is something most of us can relate to in one way or another. If have never read one of Michele's books this is as good a place to start as any. If you already read one or more, then just keep reading. She never disappoints!

Picked this up at the DI, started reading it and realized it went along with "Love Lights the Way" which I got at the DI a few months ago. This was Cami's story and it was pretty good. I enjoyed the mystery of the treasure thrown in. Although I think her falling in love again after being widowed was a little too easy.

[Brooke]

I didn't dislike this book and mostly I did like it, but just not a lot, a lot. I don't feel as though I truly wasted my time, but it ook a long time to read. There was a good ending, there was mystery and intrigue, there was love... so all in all it had a lot of great elements. It wasn't super cheese filled, but it had it's moments. Some of the descriptions of mundane things felt over done.

[Megan Swanson]

This was a good book, I knew bits and pieces of the story, although I'm not sure if it was because of my mother telling me about almost every book that she has, or if I've read it before. It was so good that I had a hard time putting it down despite the fact that I knew those bits of the story.

[Jessica Liza]

I've read this but it was a long time ago. In my recollection, I don't remember liking it as much as the others. Especially since this "perfect" relationship between Cami and Dallin has been built up and then is ruined. But I will have to read it again to give it an honest review.
