Stranger on the Shore

by Carol Duncan Perry

HE'D COME LOOKING FOR HER ...

Sarah Wilson knew that her special gift set her apart and made her easy prey for the morbidly curious, the skeptical. So when the stranger breezed into town, she figured he was just another thrill seeker. She certainly didn't expect him to be a ruggedly attractive man who stole her heart with a single kiss.

To roving journalist Jordan Matthias, home was wherever he found the best story. But that was before he met the flaxen-haired enchantress with eyes the color of the sea. In Sarah's arms his long journey had finally ended.

Then the attempts on Sarah's life began, and outsider Jordan became the leading suspect. Yet he still couldn't reveal his true identity and risk losing her forever ...

[Laurie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. It had a warmth to it. Set in Arkansas where everyone is 'kin' in one form or another, it is the story of Sarah, a young woman with 'the gift.' At a young age she came to realize she could see things. Because of her gift she found herself on the receiving end of disbelievers and people not understanding, especially those people not from her hometown. She returns home to be away from the spotlight.
Jordan, a newsman, originally went to investigate Sarah and to write an article proving that she was a fraud. But quickly he comes to care for her realizing that she truly did have a gift. A gift of sight and a gift to make him feel like he is home.
Throw in romance, small town charm, suspense and you have a entertaining story.

The characters arent the hunky alpha male and sassy strongwilled female you usually read about. Even with softer characters and less "fire" between them, it was an enjoyable story.

I have a pet-peeve about authors that write about "psychics" but then dont include that in the storyline. Sarah's abilities played little to no role overall, and ended up being more of just a random mention.

A smoldering romance with a mystery twist. OK, but nothing really appealing.

This was a fairly tame story with more romance than suspense. Even the psychic aspect was played down. Sarah was a bit of a whiner trying to assert her claims that she wasn't in danger and the male characters were the opposite being he-man protectors. The Ozark Mountain farm background balanced it out so the book ended up being okay.

I couldn't get into this book. Half way through, I decided to try something that held my interest better.

I liked it mainly because of the setting. The story takes place in an area close to me, one that I have been to before and know the history of, so it caught my attention quickly.
