Off-season at Emerald Isle ~ In-season for secrets of the heart

Frannie Denman has been waiting for her life to begin. After several false starts, and a couple of broken hearts, she ends up back with her mother, with whom she doesn’t get along, until her elderly uncle gets sick and Frannie goes to Emerald Isle to help manage his affairs while he’s recovering.

Her uncle’s oceanfront home, Captain’s Walk, is small and unpretentious, and even though Frannie isn’t a ‘beach person,’ she decides Captain’s Walk in winter is a great place to hide from her troubles. But Frannie doesn’t realize that winter is short in Emerald Isle and the beauty of the ocean and seashore can help heal anyone’s heart, especially when her uncle’s handyman is the handsome Brian Donovan.

Brian has troubles of his own. He sees himself and Frannie as two damaged people who aren’t likely to equal a happy ‘whole’ but he’s intrigued by this woman of contradictions.

Frannie’s mother wants her back home and Brian wants to meet the real Frannie, but Frannie wants to move forward with her life. To do that she needs questions answered. With the right information there’s a good chance Frannie will be able to affect not only a change in her life, but also a change of heart.

  2. One thing she’d learned was that until you accepted what must be done, rose above yourself, and moved forward to do it with a whole heart, you were stuck. It wasn’t enough to go through the motions; you had to be that new person. Until then, you couldn’t go anywhere, not even back. You were doomed to be stuck, blind, mired in your own misery and self-doubt.

Product description

Review

Romantic Times Book Review names BEACH WINDS a "TOP PICK" and states "Greene's follow up to Beach Rental is exquisitely written with lots of emotion and tugging on the heartstrings. Returning to Emerald Isle is like a warm reunion with an old friend and readers will be inspired by the captivating story where we get to meet new characters and reconnect with a few familiar faces, too. The author's perfect prose highlights family relationships which we may find similar to our own and will have you dreaming of strolling along the shore to rediscover yourself in no time at all. This novel will have one wondering about faith, hope and courage and you may be lucky enough to gain all three by the time Beach Winds last page is read." -RT Book Reviews 4.5 stars TOP PICK

Mystery and romance, beautiful scenery--a wonderful tale. Ms. Greene has woven a beautiful tapestry together to entertain us with a tale to capture our imagination and our hearts. This series of books are perfect if you want to be transported away to a vacation on the beach from your armchair or favorite reading spot. I put on a seaside sound recording and let Ms. Greene's vivid writing paint seaside sunsets and sunrises in my mind, while I indulge in lunches and tea parties with lovely friends and handsome heroes.

The larger print book was a pleasure to read, helped that the story was excellent too. I was able to order book 2 in Large Print but Book 3 in the series was not available in Large Print. Big Disappoint.

Beach Winds, the second novel in Grace Greene's Emerald Isle series, is a sweet story of a woman who, although appearing to have everything, has spent her young adulthood feeling awkward and out of place.

Frannie comes to Emerald Isle to look after her great-uncle's home while he recovers from a stroke. Completely out of her element, she tries to impose her sense of logic to the situation - stepping on a few toes along the way. Luckily, my favorite characters from Beach Rental, the first book of the series, show up to befriend Frannie and gently guide and support her as she begins to relax into a more authentic version of herself,  and finally learns the truth about her past.

A few other new characters are also introduced to the story - a couple good looking men with their own issues always make things more interesting - for this second volume ... and maybe the next?

As with Beach Rental, author Grace Greene paints beautiful word pictures of waves crashing on shore, sea birds sailing across the water at dawn, winter beach winds rattling windows and teeth - all the sights and sounds I miss from coastal living.

I appreciate and enjoy the themes of faith and forgiveness and value of friendship and family that have run strong through these first two books. I look forward to finding the same in the third and final book of the Emerald Isle series, Beach Wedding.
