The
Daughter He Never Knew, A Pilgrim Cove novel, Harlequin Superromance,
July 2005
A Perfect 10!
THE DAUGHTER HE NEVER KNEW is a story that grabs your heart from the
beginning and doesn't let go. With well-developed characters that have you
experiencing their emotions and realistic dialogue---a Perfect 10. The
secondary characters add warmth and humor. This is the fourth book in the
Pilgrim Cove series and can stand on its own, but readers will want to enjoy
the other wonderful stories of Pilgrim Cove that Linda Barrett has created.
For an emotion driven story that is hard to put down, I highly recommend THE
DAUGHTER HE NEVER KNEW.

"Once again, Sea View House in Pilgrim Cove is working its magic. The tale of Lila and Jason...was worth the wait! This is the most intense, most joyful and most emotional episode of the series thus far. Every book in the "Pilgrim Cove" series sits on my "Keeper" shelf, never to be loaned out. Mine! Mine! Mine! And Linda Barrett...don't stop writing about this town and its residents...."

Linda Barrett does a great job building emotional tension in The Daughter
He Never Knew. Her characters are so real in their uncertainty, that she leaves the reader
rooting for a happy ending between Jason and Lila.

"I absolutely could not put this book down even to find a much needed hanky as I read about the characters I have grown to know so well. Linda Barrett truly knows how to create an
impassioned story that touches the heart and soul of her readers.... If you have not yet read any of Ms. Barrett's books, do yourself a favor and begin her Pilgrim Cove series today."

"It is with sadness I say goodbye to my friends at Pilgrim Cove, for after having read all four books in this series, the residents really have become my friends. Linda Barrett has done an excellent job in creating a place of love, laughter and family... I highly recommend the Pilgrim Cove series to anyone who enjoys a well written contemporary romance that will also tug at the heart strings.
Linda Barrett's novels are ones I proudly display on my keeper shelf, and I eagerly look forward to the next offering from this talented author."

Reluctant
Housemates, A Pilgrim Cove novel, Harlequin
Superromance, February 2005
5 ***** Stars --
RELUCTANT HOUSEMATES is a breathtaking page turner that will scoop you right
up and carry you to a most pleasing ending. It is a brilliant stand-alone
read, but if you haven't read any of the other books in the Pilgrim Cove
series, then you must get them also because you are in for a treat.

5 ***** Stars --
Linda Barrett is an astonishing contemporary author!...I could easily
believe the town and all its inhabitants were real. I came to feel I was
part of this close knit town. This accomplishment is something all authors
strive for, but few actually achieve. Linda Barrett is one of those few!
Do NOT miss out on Pilgrim Cove!

Reviewers Choice Award from The Road to Romance
"Linda Barrett has an obvious talent for capturing emotions that come with
life's tragedies and triumphs. Even more remarkable...the reader feels the
emotions from the adult and child point of view. Ms. Barrett shows us how love and trust can heal. This beautifully written story will stay with me
for a very long time.

"Talented Linda Barrett has superbly written another exceptionally
gratifying story, NO ORDINARY SUMMER. After the first book, THE HOUSE ON
THE BEACH, I was hooked and couldn't wait to return to Pilgrim
Cove ... Daniel is one of my all time favorite heroes because he is intelligent, intuitive
and intriguing ... Shelley is a formidable woman with a mind of her
own ... I lost myself in the story...NO ORDINARY SUMMER is no ordinary summer read and
I am happily adding this book to my 'to be read again and again' shelf."

"Once again, Linda Barrett makes Pilgrim Cove come alive in the second book
of the series. Although ... many characters from the first book (are back),
NO ORDINARY SUMMER can stand on its own ... For a well-written, realistic
slice of life, I highly recommend NO ORDINARY SUMMER."
