Island Breeze (Palisades Pure Romance) [Paperback]

Lynn Bulock (Author)

Book Description

Series: Palisades Pure Romance | Publication Date: February 1, 1999

Cody North is a busy man. An ex-cop, he has a full life as proprietor of Island Breeze condos and as the father of a teenage boy. Bree Trehearn is on the run, wanting to get as far from rural Indiana as possible. It doesn't take long for Cody to wish that Bree, her cat Gabriel, and her car full of computer parts had stayed back in Indiana instead of coming to rest on his beach. When Bree complicates matters by "modernizing" his business, he's sure it's all a nightmare waiting to happen. Then Bree disappears, and it takes all of Cody's police skills and his newfound faith to find her. Nothing in his life before Bree could prepare him for his role as her rescuer-but nothing after she "breezes" into it seems right without her!

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Running is Bree Trehearn's only hope if she is to escape from a man who wants her dead after she found incriminating information on his hard drive while fixing his computer. When she arrives on Sanibel Island in Florida, Bree meets ex-cop Cody North and moves into his vacation condo complex. The two soon bond, and Bree's heartfelt religious beliefs make Cody rethink his own lack of faith. When Bree disappears, Cody's feelings for her compel him to find her no matter what it costs. More of a romance than a thriller, Bulock's (Dalton's Dilemma, Multnomah, 1998) entertaining story is a light, quick read, making it a perfect beach book.

This review is from: Island Breeze (Palisades Pure Romance) (Paperback)

Pure Romance on romantic Sanibel Island. I have vacationed on this beautiful island on Florida's west coast. This story is about a young woman (Bree) who's love for God and love of life revitalize Sanibel Island and Cody (an ex-cop from Tampa) finds the love that he lost when his police partner died. If you love romance and God, you'll love this story.

Bree Trehearn is running for her life. She runs right into Cody North's life. As in all romance novels - they fight, they misunderstand, they keep secrets and of course they fall in love despite themselves. What is different about this novel is that the author doesn't find it necessary to pepper the story with sex scenes and I, for one, appreciate this.

Ms. Bulock has created a wonderfully sweet, yet suspenseful novel. Her characters are well developed and they actually seem real and believable. She kept me interested throughout.

A very good book. I recommend it without a doubt!

This review is from: Island Breeze (Palisades Pure Romance) (Paperback)

Seems lately with my reading, I've found that books move so much faster than older books. This book is no exception, but, timing isn't everything. I felt this Bree and Cody romance came out of THIN AIR! I didn't even know they had strong feelings for each other.

Bree is running from a man she stole information from. His illegal information on his computer was found and she stole it. She finds herself with Cody, the manager of Island Breeze, a vacation spot. I felt the relationship was a little fast, but it was over all well written.
