Review
After several years, Jillian Westworth is returning to Seascape Inn with her son Pete and later, her fiancée, Reynold Johnstone will join them with the Nelson's for a business vacation. As a young girl, Jillian had spent her summers in Maine, and during her last two summers there, she fell in love with Brad Pierce, who wanted to become a doctor, and he did at the expense of their love, which resulted in Pete. Jillian wanted to marry Brad when she found out she was pregnant, but Brad had told Jillian that he was not capable of providing for her or a family, so he broke off their relationship. Brad was told he'd won a weeks vacation at Seascape Inn, and he arrives the day after Jillian and Pete. Fearful that Brad will discover Pete's parentage, Jillian tries to keep the two apart, while Pete and Tony, the ghost of Seascape Inn, conspire to get Brad and Jillian alone so they can clear up the past and admit their feelings for each other. Reynold and the Nelsons arrive and Reynold practically ignores Pete while Brad and Pete become fast friends. Jillian realizes she must tell Brad the truth before Pete's birthday party, but the decision is taken out of her hands when Mrs. Nelson remarks on how much they look 'like father and son.' Brad asks Pete how old he is going to be, does some quick math and bolts from the room with Pete and Jillian running after him. Jillian finds Brad, but Pete is lost and a storm is brewing. They have to find Pete, if they can, before they can come to terms with the past. Is their love for Pete, and each other, strong enough to bridge the gap of the last seven years and unite them as a family? *This is the fourth in the Seascape Series by Victoria Barrett and Rosalyn Alsobrook. I reviewed the first book in this series, Beyond The Misty Shore which I thought inspiring and delightful. This book did not seem quite as enchanting, mystic or 'spiritual,' but still, a good read.Charming and romantic, For the Love of Pete will capture your heart! Well developed characters - you'll cheer for Brad, Jillian and Pete, and you'll love to hate Reynold, the dastardly villian!Gloria Miller -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

Awesome Book,

This review is from: For the Love of Pete (Seascape (St. Martins)) (Mass Market Paperback)
I grew up in Maine, and its wonderful to read a book that is set near "home". The storyline is very heartwarming and enjoyable! An excellent read.
