Bulls Island by Dorothea Benton Frank

Bulls Island is the latest installment of Dorothea Benton Frank's books about life off the coast of the Carolinas. Every one of them has made me want to move to the islands she writes about. She grew up there and does a fabulous job of bringing the scenery and culture to life. This one is about a girl named Betts who flees her home in Charleston and her new fiancee after a tragic turn of events and ends up in New York as a very successful businesswoman. Twenty years after leaving, she ends up back in Charleston working with her former fiancee on a business deal involving Bulls Island, a formerly protected island off the coast of South Carolina. She still loves her former fiancee J.D., who unfortunately is now married to someone else. All in all this is a great story written by a fabulous author who has quickly become one of my favorites. The only thing I missed in this story is that she usually finds a way to weave in characters from her previous novels and I didn't spot any of that in this one. Other than that, no complaints. I'll definitely be re-reading this one at the beach sometime!
