From the back cover:
"... a tender story of hope and joy, of sacrifice and forgiveness - a moving reminder that love is possible at any age, at any time, and often comes when we least expect it."

Reeling with heartache after her husband abandons her for a younger woman, Adrienne Willis flees to the small coastal town of Rodanthe, North Carolina, to tend a friend's inn. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink her life. But almost as soon as she gets there, a major storm is forecast and a guest named Dr. Paul Flanner arrives. At fifty-four, Paul has just sold his medical practice and is trying to escape his own shattered past. Now, with a fierce nor'easter closing in, two wounded people will turn to each other for comfort - and in one weekend set in motion feelings that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

This book will be part of the reading bundle which I'll give to my colleague for the summer holidays. She enjoyed "The Guardian", so I hope that she'll like this one, too.

It's back with me (for the moment) - my colleague didn't read it.

Another nice, light Nicholas Sparks novel - with all the usual ingredients, nicely mixed to give you a nice reading night: Love, passion, daughter-son-conflicts,...
Paul's decision to change his life to that point was very impressive!
Of course it was very sad at a point, too.

But why do they always have to eat steaks the first time they cook a meal together? (Or am I confusing it with some of his other novels?)

I don't know yet what to do with it next - anyone interested?

Since yesterday the book is on its way to KrazyBlonde in New Zealand who had it on her wishlist. Enjoy it!

I am so excited to receive this book and it's in wonderful condition too. Thank you so much ((((((Deesse)))))))) Adding to TBR.

This was a fast, light read for me. I enjoyed the fact the book was about older lovers. All the romance books these days seem to be about young people, as if they are the only people who can have exciting, head-over-heels love.
I will pass this book on to a friend. Not sure who yet. Thanks again deesse.

Sending on to the wonderful Pinkagirl as part of her birthday package. I remember you mentioning you've never read a Nicholas Sparks book so I hope you enjoy this one. Happy Birthday babes!!!

This book arrived on my actual birthday...yay!
But I was out and had to collect it today.

My wonderful friend KB sent this to me,as a birthday gift alongside another book and a beautiful card. Thanks a lot babes. I look forward to reading them both soon.

You are a star!

I really enjoyed this one, thanks for sending this one to me KB. Definately had a 'Message in a bottle' touch to it! I look forward to find more of Nichlolas Sparks books to read!

Thanks again babes. I will pass this one on soon. x

RELEASED IN A BOX OF BOOKS VIA FREECYCLE

Hello, thank you for being curious enough to visit Bookcrossing!

Even if this isn't your kind of book and you don't intend to read it I'd appreciate it if you would make a journal entry of some sort. Maybe you could say where you found it (they don't always stay where they were originally left!) or what you think of the idea of travelling books.

Then, leave it for someone else to find. And don't forget, if you make release notes (to say where you've left it, and when) next time it's journalled you'll hear from it too!
