Seashell Island #4
Moving to Seashell Island
Sophia Moretti
I've been abused by my husband, Lazzaro, for nearly the entire time of our twenty-five years of marriage. When my eighteen-year-old daughter, Isabella, saw my most recent injuries, she suggested we both leave my abusive husband while I was still able. She feared I wouldn't survive the next beating.
After deciding on a location that was nothing more than a speck on the map, we packed up as much as our car would hold and left Nebraska for Seashell Island. I knew starting over wouldn't be easy, but maybe island life could offer some peace and tranquility we both desperately needed.
When we arrived on the island, it was everything I dreamed of and everything I needed. But I didn't expect to meet a man who had the potential to change my life.
Tony Romano
Since my wife died of cancer several years ago, I've spent every day mourning her and the loss of the life we had. Since then I've focused my time and energy on my business, my son and his wife, and my two granddaughters. But there was still something missing. I was still missing my beloved Maria.
But when I saw a battered woman and her daughter at the church, I knew I wanted to help them. I didn't know for sure what caused her injuries, but my age and wisdom told me someone was responsible.
The more I got to know Sophia, the more my attraction for her grew.
The only problems were that I couldn't let go of my deceased wife and Sophia's husband wasn't ready to let go of her.

Her stories are based on the relationships that define our lives - compassionate, emotionally gripping, and uplifting novels with true to life characters, that stay with her readers long after the last page is turned.

I want to live on Seashell Island!
Another awesome story from Seashell Island! I am in love with Tony Romano! I'm so glad these two wonderful ladies picked this lovely place to start over! Although the reason is very sad, they could not have picked a better place! I love getting to catch up on the other residents too! But Tony cracks me up! Some of his off the cuff remarks had me cracking up! I can't wait for the next book!

Wow! Another amazing book in this series. I could not put it down. I absolutely love how Brenda can write a book without alot of sex details and foul language. Her books have romance and suspense too! I don't want this series to ever end. These characters will become your friends that you love to visit and catch up on!

OMG talk about a good read!! All jokes aside I’ve loved the last few Brenda Kennedy books more than I liked the first series and I really enjoyed that one. From the first few words in I knew it was going to be heart pulsingly good (not sure that’s a word lol) I’ve waited to read Tony’s story since we first met him. He’s an amazing character and needed a woman who would be just as great for it to be a good love story . After the years of abuse Sophia endured she needed a true knight in shining armor to show her what real love is all about . I was nervous at first that Tony was never going to be able to get over Maria but he came through! Stupid Lazzaro got everything he deserved in the end and than some. I can’t go into more details without giving things away, BUT read this book! I give it a five star review because it was more than what I expected it to be !! I’ll impatiently await the next book in the series so happy writing Brenda 👍🏾😘❤️
