Book 5, Hoping for Love: Gansett Island Series

Marie Force can really develop a fun story with people who seem real. Enjoy the continuing characters from book to book plus all the new characters inserted with each new book. What will they do next?

I truly believe these books have run their course. The author seems to have run out of story lines and the only thing left to write about is abundant and redundant sex. I enjoyed the first book and the second but after that, I started feeling as though I was reading the same book over and over with just more sex scenes included to add length to pallid and predictable stories.

The characters and the situations are so unrealistic, one has to completely suspend belief to be able to finish these books. Very few people in real life are either this good or this evil all the time! I find it interesting, too, how none of these exceptionally beautiful people ever seem to have to actually work more than an hour or two a week, if that. And the fact that everyone (including the parents) knows about and freely discusses, each others' never-ending sex lives also seems a bit unrealistic to me.

I've given up on the series and in fact, feel as though I carried on at least two books longer than I should have.

Another McCarthy brother bites the bullet and falls in love. A fast paced, fun filled story about life and love on Gansett Island. Can't wait to read more about Owen and Laura, and Tiffany and Blaine!

This series is very addictive. I love every new adventure and hearing about all the members of the McCarthy family that were in the previous books. I can keep reading thses books and still want more.

I just finished reading book 5 and downloaded book 6. I am only sad that I will only have one more. I hope to see more from this awesome group of family and friends!! This series is my first read my Maria Force. Great writer that really knows how to describe each one of the character so you know just what they look like!!

The whole series is absolutely wonderful! I accidentially started with Book 7 and then hasd to go back and read 1-6 and now I am finishing 7 again to get the whole picture! Marie Force is a fantastice writer!

I was introduced to this series at the RWNZ conference and am finding I cannot read them quick enough! I absolutely love the heartwarming nature and passion they exude - Marie Force is an inspiration in her style of writing.

I like books with seashore settings and interesting characters. The McCarthy series has this, however, in some of her books in this series, I feel the author is trying to compete with "50 Shades of Gray". We all like romance...romance!

They just keep getting better. In this book, Force manages to intertwine the love stories of various characters in different places in their relationships. From a couple happily married for
40 years to a young couple just starting out, falling for love captures the heart of its readers.
