I have mixed feelings about this book. I really enjoyed the plot. A 4 year old girl goes missing during her birthday party. A year later she's found in the same location with a note pinned to her dress. Years later the girl returns as an adult to the same inn with no idea that she had disappeared as a child. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me guessing and kept me interested in the book. There is some romance as well as some violence and murder.
The writing wasn't amazing but I was able to overlook that because the story kept me interested.

"A vacation to Sunset Cove was her way of celebrating and thanking her parents. After all, Claire Dellamore's childhood was like a fairytale. But with the help of Luke Elwell, Claire discovers that fairytale was really an elaborate lie...The minute she steps inside the grand Inn at Ocean's Edge, Claire Dellamare knows something terrible happened there. She feels it in her bones. Her ensuing panic attack causes a scene, upsetting her parents. Claire attempts to quiet her nerves with a walk on the beach, to no avail. She's at too great a distance to make out details, but she believes she witnesses a murder on a nearby cliff. When local police find no evidence of foul play, they quickly write off the "nervous" woman's testimony as less than credible. But Luke Elwell, home on leave from the Coast Guard, has reason to believe Claire. Years ago when his mother went missing, Luke's father suspected she'd been murdered. He died never having convinced the police to investigate. So when an employee of the grand hotel doesn't show up for work, Luke steps in to help Claire track down the missing woman. As Claire and Luke put together the pieces of a decades-old mystery, they discover that some family secrets refuse to stay buried. And some passions are worth killing for"--

I enjoyed this. I did find it hard to keep track of the characters. I was surprised by the ending.
