This was the first book that I read by this author, but definitely not the last. I still think it is her best; I was completely taken into the story. When I need a book that provides a good visit with old friends, I pick up this book again.

I've read five of Chamberlain's books that sealed the deal for me being a fan (Secret Lives, Summer's Child, The Courage Tree, Cypress Point and especially Breaking the Silence). Private Relations missed her mark and is sub-par of her skill. I'll skip the story line - Amazon supplies that - and recommend Diane Chamberlain as an author, but only die-hard, going-to-read-all-of-her-books fans should spend their time on this novel. Don't judge her by this one.

Can't say anything negative about this author. She can't write books fast enough for me, cause All her books are fantastic. Amazon.com always gets them to me in a timely manner.

I don't know how this book got on my shelf, but it did not interest me to continue reading after the first chapter. It is a 'saga'. It doesn't seem like a 'bad' book, just not one I am interested in.

Back Cover:

They agreed to share their lives...but what about their hearts?

To Kit Sheridan, Chapel House is a haven. A Jersey Shore mansion overlooking the ocean, it is inhabitied by a group of close friends and seems the perfect spot to recover from her divorce.

When Cole Perelle, a young doctor, arrives at the beach house, he and Kit immediately strike up a special, close friendship.

It is a friendship so valuable that neither is willing to risk it by acting on the intense attraction that develops between them. Their intertwined lives begin to echo the rhythms of the waves on the beach as they come together, pull away and come together again. But like a forceful wave, Kit and Cole's passions inevitably crash, forcing them to choose between certainty and doubt...between love and all else.
