Beautiful and touching

My favorite book of the Fairborne series, SUNRISE is about brother Daniel. After the death of his wife he retreats to lonely Nantucket Island to live. Giving up on being a Captain and becomes a smith, he lives his days lonely with only his dog for company. That is until a shipwreck washes ashore a beautiful young woman. Juliette Lacroix has no memory of her life, except for her name. Determined to help the young, beautiful woman Daniel keeps her at his cabin to recooperate, but the two fall hopelessly in love. Can their love survive after Juliette's memory returns? Miranda Jarrett has written a tender, touching love story the will bring a smile to the reader's face. Daniel is a wonderful, caring man. Juliette is beautiful. Highly recommended.

An all-nighter

Sunrise by Miranda Jarrett is a beautiful, stay-up-all-night- magic historical which set on Nantucket in the early 18th century. The love between the heroine, Juliette, who was washed up on the beach and rescued by the hero, Daniel Fairbourne, is exquisitely tender and beautiful. Their lives and growing passion are complicated by rumors of French smuggling, Juliette, unaware of who she is and where she came from, and suspicious townspeople who are ready to judge and condemn. Though Juliette and Daniel struggle to learn about who they are, in the process, they also learn about who and why they love. This book is simply wonderful.

An enjoyable novel that captures old-time Nantucket

Because I keep a summer place on Nantucket Island, a friend of mine recently gave me two new novels set there. One was AHAB'S WIFE, a big, expensive, pretentious hardback and the other was this little softcover book SUNRISE, and guess which one I like the better? This book captured old-time Nantucket for me, all sandy and windy, with a dandy love story and a shipwreck to boot. Even mentions the Indians that used to run the island before the tourists took over! If you're looking for an enjoyable novel that will keep you turning pages, then forget Ahab, buy SUNRISE, and save yourself money in the deal.

Gloriously written romance!

In SUNRISE, Miranda Jarrett has blessed us with another wonderful story in the Lacroix saga. The beautiful surroundings of Nantucket come to life as never imagined before among these gloriously written pages. The characters will touch your heart as you follow them through their struggles with the townspeople and their inner selves. Page after breathtaking page will make you wish the last one would never come. Jarrett has clearly opened our hearts to a world of precious romance, leaving us craving more. This divine tale is a must read and a winning sequel.--RENDEZVOUS, December 1999
