Book Description
Summer by the Sea is a beautiful, heart-warming summer read about sisters, first love and not always getting what we want – but sometimes ending up with exactly what we need. They say there’s always one summer that changes you. For Faith the one summer she can’t forget is when she fell in love as a teenager – only for her sister, Casey, to steal her man. Now, at the request of her beloved ninety-year-old Grandmother, Faith has agreed to a family holiday – at their childhood beach house, where it all began. Faith hasn’t seen her sister in years but is finally ready to forgive and forget, enjoy the sunshine and relive happy memories. What she’s not ready for is meeting Jake Buchanan – the owner of the beach house – or the long-forgotten feelings he ignites in her. Can Faith overcome the hurt of the past, rekindle the close bond she had with Casey and make this summer THE ONE to remember? What readers are saying about Jenny Hale… ‘Jenny Hale has done it again–written a great story about second chances at love with characters you really care about.’ Kim the Bookworm ‘A gorgeous novel with wonderful characters and such a meaningful plot, one which I think everyone can learn from.’ Reviewed the Book ‘a delightful read with a wonderful setting and cast of characters at its core; definitely recommended to chick lit fans!’ Spoonful of Happy Endings ‘This book is the epitome of everything I love about reading, about fiction and about romance. It was heart-warming, touching, upsetting, endearing, beautiful and one hundred other adjectives I could reel off… It’s an absolute must-read for any romance fan.’ Paris Baker’s Book Nook ‘A perfect romance read. Full of tension and heart wrenching feelings that have you biting your lower lip in either frustration or sadness. Have a lump in your throat, a tear in your eye or giggling like a schoolgirl.’ The Book Geek Wears Pajamas

Book Description
A successful restaurateur gets a second chance with her childhood sweetheart in this romance classic by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. With a little determination and a lot of charm, Rosa Capoletti took a run-down pizza joint and turned it into an award-winning restaurant, voted the “best place to propose” three years in a row. For Rosa, though, there has been no real romance since her teenaged love affair with Alexander Montgomery ended without explanation a decade ago. But guess who’s just come back to town? Reunited at the beach house where they first fell in love, Rosa and Alexander discover that the secrets of the past are not what they seem. Now, Rosa searches for happiness with the man who once broke her heart—and learns that in love, as in life, there are second chances. Originally published in 2004. “This is the perfect beach read.” —Debbie Macomber “Wiggs excels at portraying the delicate dynamics among lovers, friends and family members, and her keen awareness of sensory detail ensures that the scents and sounds of Rosa’s kitchen are just as palpable as the heady attraction between the protagonists.” —Publishers Weekly “A delightful summertime story of star-crossed lovers. . . .

Pages : 38
Book Description
I present to you my theory - Eli about the Sea Eye and the surrounding area. I cannot base it on any scientific facts or research, as none has been done to date. Perhaps even you, while walking through this forest, have not noticed the evidence of the existence of our ancestral homeland and the Sumerian culture.You don't have to travel to Egypt or other parts of the world, such as Easter Island,to do your research. Just make a trip to the Sea Eye in the Vihorlat forests. Into this theory I put my belief that Vinian Castle is built on top of a pyramid. Just look at this "hill" from a distance from any side of the world. In the case of this manifestation, I run the risk of complete ridicule of my work and also of my person. But these artifacts at the Sea Eye did not give me peace of mind for many years, until I had to sit down and work out this short theory. All else I leave to you. If you take a trip to this forest, you have the opportunity to judge everything for yourself.
