“Can Boone go to Deep Haven?”
When Rachel Russell came to me with this idea, my heart just exploded. How I love Boone. Broken-hearted, misunderstood, tough but sweet Boone from my PJ Sugar series. Yes, he was from Kellogg, MN, but why couldn’t he take a vacation in Deep Haven?
And maybe it could change his life.
As my readers know, I LOVE to cross series and pluck a character from one book and settle him/her into another—even a different world. I’ve been able to cross my Russian books with my SAR books, my Montana Books with my Alaska books, and my Deep Haven books into all of them…but the PJ Sugar series was feeling a little left out.
“Yes! Please!” I said.
Admittedly, I was a little worried about Boone and how he’d fare in Deep Haven.
But Rachel nailed it.
First, she loves Boone as much as I do, so she did him justice. Then, she created a character in Vivien who is the perfect match for our dear Boone (if he can just open his eyes and get over PJ enough to see it!).
In fact, Rachel might have written a better version of Boone than I did! Sexy, strong, wise, but still getting over PJ—Boone is right where he’s supposed to be in Deep Haven, and I’m so thrilled with his story.
And then there’s Vivien—you met her in the previous Deep Haven books, and in the Christiansen series, but she was waiting for the right man. Her humor and spunk are exactly what Boone needs…but is HE what SHE needs?
Rachel’s voice in this story is excellent. Funny, poignant, sweet—you’ll love the blend of North Shore/theater romance with a hint of mystery/suspense. The perfect summer read—enjoy as you read by the lake.
I know PJ would.
Thank you for reading the next book in the Deep Haven Collection!
Warmly,
