Eight years after she had last seen him — and loved him — Lyn met Joel Morgan again, and it seemed she now had a second chance when this time he asked her to marry him.

But what was the use, when she knew he still did not love her, and that if she accepted, her marriage would be forever haunted by the ghost of his lovely dead wife, Sabrina?

Overall the story was very romantic in it's ways. I was pretty impressed by this novel but I usually am with the older M&B or HP's. I loved the heroine and how she stuck by her guns to the very end. The hero though, bothered me. I wanted more response from him towards the heroine.

I didn't believe in the heros love for the heroine. She was second best in my eyes. She could have done much better.

loved this story of two people who have known each other since childhood because they spent their summers on Morgan's Island off the coast of Maine, they meet years later, do they remember one another and do they even like each other?

I see why I had forgotten this story - it really is just only okay. Nothing more.

Enjoyed the story. Did find the solution of his step-daughter with autism finding her natural father a bit pat for the hero and heroine.
