The sequel toMiracle in the Mist, this book can be read without reading the first but is more enjoyable having read the first. I liked this story - there are 2 subplots that mirror each other somewhat. The main one revolves around Frank, a pediatric heart surgeon, and Carrie. Carrie has lost her memory and her stay in Renaissance involves the slow recovery of it and facing the demons that caused the loss of memory. A second plot revolves around two of the residents of Renaissance - Ellie, the healer, and Alvin, a Traveler. Alvin's story mirrors Frank's and Alvin is tasked with assisting Frank in his healing. I liked this story - it is sweet and uplifting. There is little cussing and just a bit of steaminess. It is not a 'deep' story but it is well written escapist fun.

This second volume of a duology returns to Brigadoon-type village that appears when needed, outside Tarrytown, New York. Three individuals are in need of the healing available in Renaissance.
The village of Renaissance has many mystical powers and each of these three people must learn to deal with the traumas, both real and perceived, that effect their happiness and peace-of-mind. Much of the book is rather comforting and feel-good activities. Romances blossom, the weather is usually perfect, the people are truly good, and flowers abound. But these traumas bring a level of discomfort that may be difficult for some, even though the story is uplifting as each individual finds their strengths before returning to their usual lives.
Although this is a sequel to the first volume, it's not really necessary to read it first. Some background might explain a little, but it's not necessary because much is explained as we go along.

A paranormal romance centered on Carrie, who suffers amnesia and finds herself entangled in a mysterious town called Renaissance. The romance with a wounded heart surgeon adds emotional depth amid a healing, mystical atmosphere. The book explores themes of trauma, memory, and trust, appealing to readers who like their love stories layered with supernatural mystery and redemption.

"Help, I need help, help me!"
It's late and there is no one out, no cars on the road and why is there blood on her hands? "Help me!!!" She spies a light and follows it. When she arrives the door opens and she is welcomed in, almost as though they had been waiting for her.
Carrie has no idea that she is in Tarrytown, New York on this cold snowy night and in fact, she doesn't even know her own name. She does know that she needs help. Fortunately for her, she has arrived at the door step of Irma, Meghan and Steve. They work with the community of 'Renaissance' to help those people who are in need of finding themselves.
Renaissance is a community that exists beyond the usual realm of time. It becomes visible to the outside world only when there is a person in need of their special services. Irma helps guide these lost souls to the gateway and Meghan and Steve act as gatekeepers.
This is the second book in the series, the first being Miracle in the Mist, though you can easily read this second book without having read the first. Author Elizabeth Sinclair has written an enjoyable though slightly predictable story. I found the first third of the book just a little to 'goody two shoes' for me. The story starts the day before Christmas eve in a picture perfect setting with four people sitting and waiting for the people in need. Too cute. I found the resolutions to some of the 'issues' to be too easy. The logic was presented, and boom, the person was over it. While we learn a lot about the issues surrounding the main characters, we don't really learn much about them as people. There wasn't much to make me want to care about them.
Into the Mist was fun to read, but it didn't leave me wanting to read more.

Interesting paranormal romance. No suspense -- the ending is fairly obvious from the beginning.

When I bought this I didn't realize it was actually a sequel so it took me awhile to get into it.
