Summary: SuMmEr'S sHaDoW's
Comment: Overall, this was a decent book. Summer Shadows deals with family issues, overcoming health problems, religion, and even has a nice romantic twist (or two) intertwined in it. Characters are well developed so that, when reading about different problems that certain characters are faced with, the reader can almost see the whole situation in their mind thus, giving a better appreciation for scenes whether they are meant to be heart-wrenching or entertaining. There are also many different types of characters in this story. The selection ranges from a stubborn, independent woman to grouchy neighbors to overprotective parents (etc, etc, etc!!!) and each part is played very well.
The main character of the story is Abby. She is in the process of breaking free of the chains (her parents) that have held her in bondage quite long enough, in her opinion. Her overly protective parents feel that Abby cannot survive at all without them there, guiding her every step of the way. These two opinions, being as opposite as they are, clash to a very strong degree when Abby moves to Seaside and in the end, does get her freedom, which she fights so hard for. While living in Seaside, Abby is the witness to a hit and run accident but afterwards suffers from some sort of amnesia and cannot remember the driver of the involved vehicle. The little girl that was hit brings back painful memories from Abby's past, which causes her even more grief over not remembering what has happened. As time goes on, Abby grows an interest in her landlord, Marsh, which cannot be ignored. Why ignore it though, when Marsh has the same feelings for her? These two very different people fall in love and help each other in many ways.
The plot of this story is great, and the ending is almost as great, aside from that the revealing of a villain who should have been discovered at the end was given away too early in the story, thus leaving no big surprise at the end because the reader already knows who is to blame. Aside from that, the book has a strong, interesting ending that will keep readers intrigued up to the very last word.
The epilogue is also enjoyable because it lets the reader know about everything that happens after the end. Leaving on a good note, readers are excited for the next book to be released.

Summary: Two Seasons down, two to go
Comment: I figured Gayle couldn't possibly top Spring Rain, but boy, was I wrong! Summer Seasons kept me reading from the time I opened it until there was nothing left to read, and then left me upset that Fall and Winter aren't written yet!
I thoroughly enjoyed Abby's quest for freedom, Marsh's quest for peace and quiet and Rick's quest for something real. I also enjoyed the fact that the "mystery villain" actually WAS a mystery for quite a bit of the book, and that I was surprised to learn who it was. And I'm still laughing at the concept of a cat named Puppy!
This book is a good entertaining read, but it's also full to the brim with useful, edifying subject matter, a perfect blend of romance, intrigue and good, solid Christian faith. In other words, you'll enjoy reading this, but be careful- you just might learn something!

Summary: Summer Shadows a Spectaular Summer Romance!
Comment: This second book in Gayle Roper's Seaside Series is as entrancing and enjoyable as the first. I love the "obscure" women the heroine quotes as motivation for herself and also the idea of the hero having a "dual personality" - as did the villian! I was hooked from the first pages and couldn't put it down. I empathized with Abby's problems with her mother and Marsh's with his dad - all of us had troubled times occasionally growing up. Abby is endearing not only to adults, but obviously cares for kids and pets, too - and kids and pets always know who the good guys are. The relationship with Rick and Celia was a great parallel romance. A highly recommended, great read!
