vkemp 's review for:

Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
5.0

Annie Hewitt runs to Peregrine Island off the coast of Maine to recover from her mother's death and a bout of pneumonia. She doesn't realize Theo Harp is in residence at Harp House. She hasn't see him since she was 16 and her mother was married to his father. Theo and his twin, Regan, spent the summer with Annie and another island girl, Jaycie. Now, Regan is dead, along with Theo's wife, and Theo is locked in his turret trying to write a new novel and Jaycie is his housekeeper. Annie shows up with the puppets she uses in shows, trying to put her life back together. This was an utterly charming book as Annie and Theo resolve their issues and grow to trust and love each other. A departure from SEP's usual romances and it is better for it.
