"Entertaining contemporary romance"
After losing her financial job, expert Aurora Jenkins
returns home to Coastal Carolina to care for her father
and sister, both suffering injuries. Rory has volunteered
to put together a budget proposal for her island town to
request a grant to purchase land for conversion to a
park. However, Rory learns she needs to work with
software genius and all around hermit Thomas MacCloud
whose program will identify the land owners. As Rory and Thomas squabble, they learn that the
politicians and big business have gotten together with a
plan that will over develop and ultimately destroy the
beauty of the island. The duo works together seeking a
solution to boost the local economy yet keep the island's
natural beauty even as they fall in love. However, though
both are ready to battle the big shots, neither is ready
for a relationship. CAROLINA GIRL is an entertaining contemporary romance that
focuses on the issue of development vs. environment
especially through the eyes of the strong support cast.
The lead couple is fun to follow as they battle, argue,
and squabble. Though the final resolution seems too easy,
fans will enjoy the teaming up of the Amazon Princess and
the software game developer against superheavyweights used
to getting their way. Harriet Klausner
