Another excellent book from Gayle Roper

This book was so enjoyable and definitely gave the reader things to think about long after it was finished. Gayle has a real gift for letting us see the hearts of her characters and walk with them on their journey. This is a good read and one that will leave the reader with issues to ponder.
Hooked from beginning to end.

Roper has the unique ability to meld romance, comedy, suspense, and a powerful Christian message into one book. In the summer beach side setting, Abby Patterson is able to overcome the shadows of her past and present disability to discover and fulfill God's wish for her life. As Abby's story unfolds so does the novel's theme- God is our strength when we are weak.
Two Seasons down, two to go
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
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!
Summer Shadows a Spectaular Summer Romance!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
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!
Summer Shadows makes for sunny summer reading!

An action/mystery/romance book with a Christian foundation. It is not only entertaining reading,but you learn something as well. Gayle Roper takes you through the mine field of relationships and shows how to resolve conflict in a mature manner. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to get away for awhile and grow personally at the same time. It is fun reading,but definately not all fluff.
