Eclipse Bay has grown and flourished on the rugged Oregon coast, where the shore can be rocky and forbidding, full of sharp cliffs and hidden coves. But this small town is also filled with secrets as treacherous as the landscape - and rivalries as fierce as an ocean storm... Their grandfathers hated each other. Their fathers hated each other. And as the next generation of Hartes and Madisons, Hannah and Rafe are expected to hate each other too. But Hannah Harte - a successful wedding consultant with a skeptical view of marriage - remembers the long-ago night on the beach that revealed Rafe as much more than just "that disreputable Madison boy." And Rafe remembers the heroic gesture that proved Hannah's fierce spirit was stronger than any feud - and saved him from near - certain imprisonment. Now - reunited by a surprising inheritance after years of living their separate lives - Rafe and Hannah return to Eclipse Bay, and the hostilities that still divide, and bind, their families. And they are discovering something that is at once delightful and deeply disturbing... They don't hate each other. Not at all...

Hannah Harte returns to Eclipse Bay eight years after saving Rafe Madison from impending imprisonment. She comes back to the small community when Rafe refuses to discuss selling his half of Dreamscape, Isabel Harte's legacy to them both. While they attempt to agree on a business partnership as well as a co-existing personal relationship, they must find out what went on that night eight years ago before the truth threatens to destroy them.In expressing my opinion of this book to a friend, I couldn't really put my finger on what made this particular Krentz title so great whereas her others have simply been good. It came to my mind however as I recommended it to her. Eclipse Bay is set away from the city and requires, due to a somewhat small community, a different tone, if not style. I enjoyed the atmosphere of Eclipse Bay in terms of location as well. It seemed so refreshing compared to Krentz's Seattle setting. While I enjoy the city, there is something very personal about Eclipse Bay and Krentz illustrates this by taking us through it narratively and describing the origin of certain landmarks. These personal touches brought the place to life for me in a way the impersonal Seattle settings didn't. In addition to that, there is a scene in the novel which involves practically the entire town and comically illustrates the negative side to small town existence. Then there is Winston, Hannah's loyal and protective dog who adds another dimension of humor to the novel.Krentz has written a story that is fresh in tone though her characters remain true to what her readers have come to associate with her writing. Rafe and Hannah are strongly drawn characters despite the characteristics Krentz uses to associate them with their respective families.
