The thought of switching identities, even if for just a
brief moment, is such a tempting proposition. Seeing the
world through someone else's eyes enables the least
suspecting soul to be caught off guard and if lucky, one
can discover his or her most sacred secrets.
When cousins Ariel and Sara decide to play the role of
each other, they soon discover that they both have taken
on more than what they bargained for. Their dubious plan
takes on a life of its own as things quickly spiral out of
control. Their somewhat harmless ruse quickly turns into a
disaster when they find themselves knee deep in murder,
deception and desperation.
King's Isle is a quaint, sleepy little island off the
North Carolina coast where all seems to be forgotten. The
inhabitants are held hostage to the strong arms of the
town and the people just appear to have accepted their
fate. Tourists who dare venture to the island find
themselves wishing that they had never come, that is if
they ever manage to escape. When business tycoon R.J.
Brompton, with the help of Sara, decides to investigate
the picturesque island as a possible business venture,
Ariel and Sara find themselves running for their lives as
they try to uncover the truth behind the island's
mysterious happenings.
In CAROLINA ISLE, Jude Deveraux once again draws the
reader into her expertly written tale of suspense and
love. The action-packed plot engages the reader from the
get-go as this entertaining tale unfolds. The secondary
characters play a significant role in the novel and add
the perfect amount of spice and charm. The true success of
this book lies in the outstanding character development of
the two lead characters, Ariel and Sara. Deveraux
transforms these two naïve girls into strong, likeable
women while providing the reader with a delightful escape.
Amusing, adventurous and agreeable! Deveraux delivers a
worthy read!
Ariel and Sara never imagined their high-spirited attempt to
step into each other's shoes would cause such upheaval. The
lifelong pen pals, who look exactly alike, meet for the
first time in their twenties and embark on a daring
adventure of changing identities. Southern belle Ariel is
determined to win the heart of a man who doesn't know she
exists, while Sara yearns to leave behind her hardscrabble
existence and taste the good life that fate has denied her.
But in pretty Arundel, North Carolina, nothing is as it
seems -- including the dangers that are closing in on their
new dream lives, as the deepest of fears and darkest of
secrets and betrayals come to light.
