Champion swimmer and Olympic hopeful, Dawn Beaumont has been injured in a car crash she caused. Haunted by guilt over the death of a passenger, her career in ruins, her body damaged and scarred, she flees to Moon Island. Scientist Grace Ramsay welcomes her cute new neighbor, imaging Dawn could be a pleasant diversion from her secret mission to evaluate Moon Island for corporate purchase by a chemicals giant looking for a waste dump far from civilization. But Dawn won't play ball, in fact she denies she is even a lesbian. Beset by troubling nightmares rooted in the past, and increasing ambivalence over her job, Grace sets out to prove otherwise. Meanwhile Annabel Worth, the owner of the island, is determined not to sell her home to a chemicals conglomerate. But then her plane goes down in the Pacific in suspicious circumstances.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The 2004 edition of Saving Grace is a revised and expanded second edition. Yellow Rose Books has also released the first Moon Island romance, Passion Bay, in an expanded second edition. And for the many readers who have written to me over the past ten years requesting a sequel, there are two brand new Moon Island novels: The Sacred Shore and A Guarded Heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, Fun, and interesting, December 23, 1998

This review is from: Saving Grace (Paperback)

Saving Grace, the second book featuring the heavenly Moon Island and it's owners, truly lived up to its predecessor. I can't wait, and hope that it is not the last to feature Annabel and Cody, or Grace and Dawn. The characters are easy to like and care about, and you find yourself unable to put the book down, until you find out how everything ends. Jennifer, can we beg you to write another!?

4.0 out of 5 stars Fulton Saves More Than Grace, March 8, 2005

This review is from: Saving Grace (Paperback)

Characters Cody and Annabelle from the first Moon Island book 'Passion Bay' are back, but play minor roles in a wonderful new story from Jennifer Fulton. In this book, American Grace Ramsey (a former lover of Annabelle and player of the field) is doing covert research about Moon Island for her company. This company is desperate to buy the land and will stop at nothing to make that happen. Also on the island is homophobic and seemingly-straight Australian Dawn Beaumont. Dawn is taking a respite from her world that was shattered when she caused a tragic auto accident.

Thirty-something Grace wagers with herself about getting Dawn into bed quickly. Dawn, 22, wrestles with new and confusing feelings. They both do a lot of growing up.

Fulton mixes romance in with a little drama and mystery. The reader can't help but fall for the charismatic characters, and feel their pain and confusion. This reader even yelled at the book ("kiss the girl, already") much like some movie-goers in tense scenes.

Highly recommended for an enjoyable summer evening at home on the deck with pina coladas and pretzels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sequel that does not disappoint, December 10, 2004

This review is from: Saving Grace (Moon Island, Book 2) (Paperback)

I enjoyed the first book in the Moon Island series so much that I was ready for this one to be a letdown. Instead it was wonderful. It tells the story of Dawn, a young swimming star whose Olympic hopes and dreams are dashed in a tragic road accident that she caused. Readers of Passion Bay will remember Dawn as the immature, pain in the ass guest who made Cody crazy during the big hurricane. She is on the island taking stock of her life and growing up. She soon meets one of the best characters I've read in a lesbian romance - the sexy and seductive scientist Grace Ramsay. Grace is a player who decides to seduce Dawn, who's only just coming out. Grace is also up to no good, scoping out the island to be turned into a toxic chemicals dump by big business. She is in for a shock when her feelings get involved and she has to confront a secret locked inside herself. There's a lot more to the story than that, but I don't want to spoil it for you.
I could not put this book down. It is a very rewarding love story with plenty of adventure and some larger than life minor characters thrown in. I love this author's dry sense of humor and her sharp writing. As for the love scenes, wow. I can hardly wait for the next romance in this series. Keep'em coming Ms. Fulton!
