Summary: WHAT A GREAT READ!
Review: This is the best book I've read by far. I cannot wait to read Kiss River. Everytime I thought I knew where this book was going, I would get thrown for a loop time and again. It ended up as I had hoped, but the twists and turns it took to get there kept me hooked until the very last page. I could not put it down! I've read all of Diane Chamberlain's books, but she's outdone herself on this one. She is truly a gifted writer. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Summary: WHY I LIKE KEEPER OF THE LIGHT
Review: This story has you guessing at each turn for what will come next. It is amazing how all the characters become a part of the one original story. I felt like a stranger in these peoples lives but and also felt like their best friend, I cried and i cheered. The way Diane Chamberlain described the Outer Banks of North Carolina made me want to buy the Lighthouse sight unseen. It felt like home. It has been over 8 years since I read it and can't wait to do it again. What a wonderful movie it would make!

Summary: Unparalleled Emotional Intensity
Review: This was an amazing story that quite literally gave me a lump in my throat from the very beginning to the very end - and I am not even a fan of contemporary novels! It starts with an emotional and intense opening as a woman is rushed into a small coastal emergency room suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. It was Christmas Eve as Dr. Olivia Simon was waiting to end her shift and go home to her husband. Sizing up the situation quickly, Olivia realized that there was only one possibility of saving the patient and that was to operate and try to stabilize her then rather than airlift her to a trauma center - travel time that the patient would never survive. It would be later that Olivia would realize that her patient was Annie O'Neill, the woman whom her husband, Paul Macelli, was obsessed with. From the very first pages the author establishes and introduces you to a woman dubbed in her community as Saint Anne - paragon of virtue, kindness, and generosity of spirit. Annie O'Neill's death changed the course of so many lives, that night; Annie's husband Alec; her two children, Clay and Lacey; Dr. Olivia and her husband Paul. As they each become obsessed with the memory of this woman, they join together to save the lighthouse that she loved. As the months pass by, a complex triangle of passion, love, deceptions and lies begin to emerge into an explosive and emotional confrontation finally brought out into the open by the `keeper of the light'. The descriptive emotional intensity of the writing by this author is totally awesome. I sincerely hope that any who read this review accept my word that this is an author to put on your list as an automatic buy, and rush out to get a copy of this unparalleled read.
