"Welcome to Pilgrim Cove. Population: Winter-5000. Summer-Lots Higher."

With the follow-up to her successful launch book The House on the Beach Linda Barrett has hit her stride. Second of four books in Harlequin Superromance Pilgrim Cove series, No Ordinary Summer is the work of an author who has taken great writing talent and honed it to excellence.

No Ordinary Summer is the story of kindergarten teacher Shelley Anderson and her two adorable children. Newly divorced, Shelley hopes a summer at Sea View house in Pilgrim Cove will heal the pain from the rift in the family. Thanks to the well-intentioned Bart Quinn, owner of Quinn Real Estate, Daniel Stone is leasing the top floor of Sea View house. A Harvard law professor, Daniel grieves the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child. Leave it to the ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out) and the rest of the locals of Pilgrim Cove to play matchmaker for Shelley and Daniel.

Everything is going great-Shelley and Daniel are coaching little league together and taking walks on the beach-until Shelley's ex-husband shows up. He's running for congress and needs to improve his image. He'll do almost anything to get Shelley back, including trying to take the kids from her.

With an endearing cast of supporting characters and a hero and heroine readers will love, Linda Barrett has penned another winner. Why not take a trip to Pilgrim Cove this summer? This reader can't wait to visit again.

What can I add to the reviews above but to say that this was
more exciting than the first. It makes you closer to the
people and life in Pilgrim Cove. Sea View House was full. Both
up stairs, refered to as the Crow's Nest and down stairs where
Shelly and her two children would be staying. Daniel Stone and
his dog will live in the Crow's Nest. Wonderful, natural wording in her writing draws you to the lively people of the town and
the care they have for each other. Shelly become interested in
Daniel and together they work for the best interest of the
children. You will love his dog Jess.

I hope you enjoy the working relationships of life in this
book as I did.
Pilgrim Cove.

This review is from: No Ordinary Summer: Pilgrim Cove (Harlequin Superromance No. 1218) (Mass Market Paperback)

Bart Quinn, the realty agent of the beach town known as Pilgrim Cove, only rented "Sea View House" out to special people in need. The house has a long history of bringing people together. He does not rent it out to just anybody. Oh, no. Somehow, Bart just knows the perfect people when he speaks with them.

This summer, the second floor rents out to Daniel Stone, a professor who just accepted a job at Harvard, and his golden retriever, Jessie. Daniel is trying to get on with his life without his wife who died in an accident. The first floor is promised to Shelley Anderson and her two kids, Josh and Emily. They are trying to recover from a painful divorce and learn how to live as a family again. Shelley is timid and still hurting over Carl's adultery.

Even though Daniel and Shelley intended to stay out of each other's way, Fate brings them together. Shelley believes she may even have a second chance at love. Enter Carl who has his eye on an open congressional seat. Carl will look better if he seems to be a devoted family man. If Shelley refuses to come back to him, he intends to take the children away from her. What Carl does not understand, though, is that Shelley is now not only a stronger woman than before, but she has Daniel and the entire town of Pilgrim Cove on her side.

***** Another winner by author Linda Barrett! Readers will find themselves never wanting to leave Pilgrim Cove and the people who live there. The secondary town characters always have something going on. You simply could not wish for a more witty and fantastic bunch of people. Don't pass up on this incredible read! *****
