"Edge of Your Seat Romantic Suspense"
Eighteen-year-old Samantha Kent has loved family friend
Kelly MacLaughlin her entire life. How can he marry someone
else? But Sam doesn't know that twenty-one year-old Kelly
loves her as much as she loves him. He's only marrying
because his girlfriend got pregnant deliberately.
Heartbroken, Sam confronts Kelly and is devastated when he
admits the truth. Kelly knows he should stay away but when he meets Sam in the
garden that night, he can't resist. Kelly takes her
virginity even as he knows that he will still marry Loretta.
Devastated by his later rejection of her, Sam avoids Kelly
as much as possible until the wedding. With Kelly married, Sam goes to college in San Diego and
stays away from Kelly for over five years. But when both Sam
and Kelly's families go to San Diego for Kelly's brother's
wedding, tragedy strikes. In the midst of overwhelming
grief, Sam and Kelly reach out to one another in passion,
even though Kelly is still unhappily married. Loretta, Kelly's wife, has been unfaithful for years, but
she doesn't want a divorce unless she's the wronged party
and receives lots of alimony. But what Kelly, Sam, and
Loretta don't know is that someone else sees the Kent and
MacLaughlin families as potential victims in his own
nefarious schemes. Every time Kelly and Sam start to make progress toward a
permanent relationship, yet another complication is thrown
into the works. I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout
CIRCLE IN THE SAND, wondering how it was going to turn out.
Provided you are willing to overlook some over-the-top
villains and situations, you should enjoy Ms. Snodgrass'
latest book. And I can guarantee that you'll never look at
pearls in quite the same way again. Sensuality: moderately explicit sex, adultery (majority of
the love scenes are adulterous in nature), masturbation,
oral sex; sexually explicit scenes: 13.
