I enjoyed reading Carolina Mist. In fact, it was the first Mariah Stewart book that I had read. From there I have been hooked. The characters, especially the grandmother was totally unique. Romance with a little bit of mystery, laughter, and a friendly ghost! What more could you ask for! The book is about the building of a special relationship between neighboring children while spending summer vacations together. Both continued on with their lives yet neither was complete. The story also centered around personal growth. Everyone should stop once in a while and take stock of what is actually going on in their life. M. Stewart has consistently been able to produce interesting yet above standard Romance books.

I have never been one to like romance books much but I made an exception and read this due to reading some of her more suspense books. Wow! Her characters are so detailed and interesting on every level. She writes slow and easy but you get brought into the fine characters and their lives instantly. Her descriptions of the area and the house, land, etc. are just excellent. I totally enjoyed this book and bought all in the series. I can even say, I love these books far more than her suspense/mystery series. Due to this excellent example of how good a romance book can be, I am now exploring more of this type of book.

I read for enjoyment and mostly because I love the people in the book and this was a winner for me.

This was the second book by the author that I have read and i wasnt let down at all. She has an amazing ability to write all types of relationships and she develops all her characters so thoroughly that you really feel that you get to know and like them. She builds a beautiful relationship between the main leads in this book, one that I think everyone can relate to. And not only that but she does such a wonderful job describing the town you feel that you are really there. This book can be a little slow at time, but its so enjoyable to read and so relaxing that I would recommend it to anyone who has some time on their hands and wants to unwind!!

This is obviously one of Mariah Stewart's first efforts. Like all her books, it is well written. It's a gentle, little romance. Not my usual type of reading at all, but not bad for the genre.

There was nothing at all about this book I didn't like. It was a lovely story, that really held my interest.

The setting for the story was great, however, there wasn't enough of a plot to keep my interest for long. I did read the entire book, but it got really boring; too much about the old days and family heirlooms etc. and not enough interaction with the characters. I guessed the end way before the book was finished. All in all, not as great as the author's Mercy series. They kept my interest all the way to the end.

You can always count on Mariah Stewart to give you a good read. She creates characters who seem so real that you know that you have met them somewhere. I always look for her new books, and happily re-read her old ones.
