    In the top 25 of favorite books - the books that spoke to me
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2017*

I have always been a reader of mysteries and suspense books, although I always made time for good novels.  At 65, I became increasingly disabled and knew my days of walking on the beach - heck, even being capable of riding long enough to get to the beach - were over. For me, losing that ability and the ability to swim are the most painful things about being disabled. I read about this book and decided to get it out of the library. I figured if I couldn't go to the Beach, I'd bring the beach to me.I've read all the books in the Beach House series but this is my favorite, having read it 3 times. I will download it to my Kindle Fire instead of getting it at the Library, because it's a book I can pick up at any time and enjoy it.The main character of the book is Olivia, who is the matriarch of all the rest of this series. Monroe is a master at describing her characters without you even realizing that's what she's doing.  She captures the mystique of the sea the same way. By describing her characters' reaction to their settings, she manages to capture Olivia's love of the Isle of Palms, an Island in the Outer Banks of South Carolina, but also what it looks like. I knew she loved the sea because they are the only ones who relish the scent of "Pluff Mud," or "Sea Turn," as we call it in New England. :)Additionally, this book examines the role Southern women were expected to play in a marriage in 1974.  It was far different from that of Northern women and that plays a huge role in the book. Olivia had already broken out of the mould by becoming ensconced in saving the Loggerhead Turtles' nests and babies and is known on the island as The Turtle Lady. Her greatest desire is to interest her daughter, Cara, in them but she fears she never will.The book is based on Olivia's love of her children, the sea, and what she sees as her duty as a Southern wife.  It educates the reader about the importance of conservation and the role the Loggerheads play in it.  It has romance, education, humor, and made this lady who is so homesick for the ocean, happy.I have gone on to read all of Mary Alice Monroe's books that take place on the Isles of Palms and others that take place elsewhere.  I love that I learn more about conservation, a cause that is dear to my heart, Southern life and culture. Her books never fail to capture me.I would give this book ten stars, if I could, because it spoke to me in a way no book has, in a very long time.  Obviously, I strongly recommend it to women of all ages, teens and up!

    Teaching Lessons to be Had from The Beach House Series
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017*

For this summer's reading, I was thankful that I found Mary Alice Monroe's four-book series "The Beach House" to relax and enjoy.  I have been extremely anxious and nervous about our country and world affairs, and her books took me to a relaxing and restful place.  I fell in love with all of her characters - especially Lovie Rutledge.  All of her characters exhibit strength, honesty, compassion, strong work ethic, and love - all the things I see in our country and world that are lacking.  I flew through all four books at record speed, and I felt very sad when I finished the last book.  These books were not your typical summer romance novels - they taught you the meaning of what being a truly good person was all about.  I highly recommend them for people who believe in decency, honor, trust, and love.

    The past memories of summer love
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018*

This was a very pleasant summer beach read.  If you read "The Beach House" or watched the Hallmark movie of the book, this book visits Luvie's young abusive marriage, her affair with Russell, the commitment to the turtles.  It is a loving and tender story, a woman who cannot escape her rich husband and his threats; the beach cottage is the only place that is really hers.  She has to decide if leaving her marriage and her husband's wealth and power to take away her children is worth being with her true love, Russell.Sadly, even today, women are faced with much of the safe predicament regarding how much one must lose in order to find some independence, happiness, or love.  The #Metoo movement and women empowerment still hasn't changed the difficulties  financial and emotional involved in  abusive divorces.
