I love to read when at the airport and onboard the plane. When I leave for my journey I always have a new travel companion, a lovely new book, something to bond with during the hours cruising the clouds.
During my most recent journey I had in my hot little hand, Kathryn's Beach by Nadine Laman.
I am not very good at writing book reviews, but I will try my best to portray what this book did for me.
Having run away from her life, Kathryn is still haunted by the court rulings in one of the child abuse cases she is involved with, five years later she returns, only to find that her nightmare will not go away until she solves the mystery of a letter.
The book captured me, the story flowed and the characters were believable. Each person I met throughout the book came alive. I could visualise each one as they entered a scene. I felt comfortable in their presence, they relaxed me, drew me into the book. There were no fireworks, no raunchy sex scenes, just a great read.
Kathryn returns to memories, new beginnings, nightmares from the past and emotionally draining daily events. Uplifting new meetings and realisations, serene moments and positive actions made me realise this is real life in book form.
I have now ordered High Tide and Storm Surge by the same author, I wanted to go further into Kathryn's world, I had walked her beach and wanted to learn more, to follow her return and these two books will allow me to do so.
Nadine Laman has a new fan and she also has a great blog ~First Draft.

I'll put it on my list. Thanks for the review.
It sounds a terrific book Glynis. I think I'll give it a try.
Goodness, Glynis...you write terrific reviews. You made me blush. Thank you so much for the pic and the review. You are a darling.
I'm so glad you enjoyed KB. She sure gets herself into messes, doesn't she? Just wait until Sister Theresa get her cornered in High Tide.
Ohh I can't wait to read more Nadine, thanks for dropping by and commenting.
Thanks for all dropping by.
