"A magical romance"
Pilgrim Cove Realtor Bartolomew Quinn rents Sea View House
to people in relational need as the abode has somehow
magically brought people together. Bart is as enchanted as
the house and he knows who the right people are for Sea
View to weave its spell on. Bart leased the upper floor
rents to Harvard Law Professor widower Daniel Stone and his
dog, Jessie. The first floor belongs to divorcee Boston
schoolteacher Shelley Anderson and her two kids, Josh and
Emily. While Shelley remains emotionally battered from her former
spouse's philandering and a nasty divorce, Daniel still
mourns the accidental death of his wife. Although this
couple has no reason to relate, an attraction springs up
from the moment they meet. As they heal each other and her
hurting children over the summer of love, her odious ex-
husband Carl needs his old wife and children back to run
for Congress on a family values platform. He blackmails
Shelley with the threat of taking her to court over custody
of the kids he ignored since their marriage dissolved. Only
this time she has Daniel, her kids, a magical house and the
Pilgrim Cove locals to help her do battle. NO ORDINARY SUMMER is an entertaining second chance at love
paranormal (or perhaps just Bart's instinctive skills)
romance. The lead couple is a fine pairing of two souls
deserving of a lot of love. The support cast to include Sea
View adds eccentricity, nurturing, and a wonderful mystic
spin to the fine tale. Though Carl is an obnoxious
opportunist oaf, the latest Pilgrim Cove tale is a fabulous
read. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
