Season Of Strangers

By KAT MARTIN

Dedicated, driven real estate agent Julie Ferris is enjoying a day at the beach with her sister Laura when a strange, almost undetectable charge fills the air. Then, under the hot Malibu sun, time stops altogether. Neither sister can explain their "lost day"––nor the blinding headaches and horrific nightmares that follow––but Julie chalks it up to the stress she's been under since her boss's son took over Donovan Real Estate. Patrick Donovan would be a real catch if not for his notorious playboy lifestyle and matching attitude. But when a cocaine–fueled heart attack nearly kills him Patrick makes an astonishingly fast––and peculiar––recovery. Julie barely recognizes the newly sober Patrick as the same man she once struggled to resist. Maybe it's the strange beach experience fueling her paranoia but she can't help sensing something just isn't...right. As Julie's feelings for Patrick intensify she's about to discover how that day at the beach links her newfound happiness with her wildest suspicions....

KAT MARTIN

For New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin, a career in real estate led her down the road to romance. Through real estate, Kat found her own perfect match — her husband, Western author Larry Jay Martin. "We were on opposing sides of a transaction — I represented the seller and he represented the buyer," Kat recalls. A short time after the two became acquainted, Larry asked her to read an unpublished manuscript of an historical western he'd written. Kat fell in love with both the book and the author! "It was quite a romantic story," she admits. "I'd still like to see it get published." Then, after doing some editing for her future husband, she thought she'd try her own hand at writing. Kat moved on to become the bestselling author of over thirty historical and contemporary romance novels. To date, 10 million copies of her books are in print, and she's been published around the globe, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea, Bulgaria, Russia, England, South Africa, Italy, Spain, Argentina and Greece. When she's not writing, Kat also enjoys skiing and traveling, particularly to Europe. Currently, she's busy writing her next book. Kat loves to hear from readers via her email: [e-mail]

Reviews for Season Of Strangers

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This one is a bit strange. Two sisters have a strange day at the beach where they lose all sense of time and afterwards have blinding headaches and terrible nightmares. Julie Ferris is a dedicated estate agent and her sister Laura have to try to come to terms with this and have no idea what's going on in their lives.Pstrick Donovan is Julie's boss but is somewhat out of control. After an cpcaine-induced heart attack almost kills him he changes his life, and he's almost unrecognisable as his former self.I guessed from fairly early on what the twist in the tale was, and was somewhat underwhelmed by the whole thing. Not that it was a bad read but it just felt a bit strained and overdone.

Very good, and very different. I enjoyed this supernatural love story
