Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
When fashion designer Paige Brockway heads for a Maine seaside resort and reluctantly takes on the thankless task of turning the teenage daughter of her former high school idol into a "lady," she gets more than she bargained for?including love?in this sixth and final book in the magical "Seascape" series. The setting is homey and charming, the inn's meddling ghosts play their accustomed roles, and the bratty, troubled teenager is appropriately irritating and intriguing; unfortunately, these plusses may not be enough to counteract the thin plot, occasionally unappealing characters, and lack of motivation of this over-long romance. However, libraries that own the earlier books in the series may find this of interest. Alsobrook (For the Love of Pete, St. Martin's, 1997) lives in Gilmer, Tex.

Damon Adams is a man with a mission. His best friend, Blair convinces him, to scare Blair's sister into moving back to New York City. Damon is to accomplish this by turning his unruly, tomboy of a daughter, Jerina, loose on Paige Brockway. If Paige sees how unpleasant children can be, she'll give up her ideas on moving to Texas, finding a husband, and starting a family. Paige Brockway, former successful fashion designer, agreed to do her sister a favor before moving to Texas. She will try to help young Jerina Adams become more ladylike. Problems abound from the beginning. Jerina wants nothing to do with Paige and is jealous of any attention Damon focuses on her. Paige also has to deal with her old feelings of infatuation for Damon, which have not gone away. With the help of the Seascape Inn's resident ghost, all problems are resolved for a satisfying ending. This is one book in a series created by Rosalyn Alsobrook and Victoria Barrett, set at the Seascape Inn in Maine. The premise in the series is that the friendly spirits of the inn help couples find true love. Ms. Alsobrook has a warm style of writing and a wonderful way of making the reader empathize with her characters. This is an endearing story, without all the heavy love scenes, which seem to be prevalent in stories today. I very much enjoyed the tale and look forward to the continuation of this series.Tomorrow's Treasures is a pearl of a story! Rosalyn Alsobrook's stories are treasures to be hoarded close to the heart! Ms. Alsobrook weaves an extraordinary tale!Gloria Lower -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.

This review is from: Tomorrow's Treasures (A Seascape Romance) (Paperback)
We return to Seascape Inn where a resident ghost helps people to fall in love. Paige Brockway has decided to dump her career.All she wants is to move to her childhood town, get married, have kids, and a simple life. No more stress. Her sister though, plans to make Paige regret the decision and come back to New York and her career. Damon Adams agreed to help convince Paige to return to New York. In return, the sister would put in a good word for him so Damon would get a certain contract. If he does not get the contract, his father's business dies. Damon's tomboy daughter is twelve years old and very jealous of her father. She constantly runs off any woman who shows the slightest interest in her or her father. Distrust comes easily to her and she definately distrusts Paige. Paige sister asks her "as a favor" to go to Seascape Inn and help Damon teach his tomboy daughter the finer points of being a female. Feeling guilty about the move, Paige agrees never knowing the awful plans the young lady would think up to run her off.
