The Seaside Cafe

Set on breathtaking Coates Island, off the coast of North Carolina, bestselling author Rochelle Alers’ new series debut brings together three book-loving women whose summer will offer a chance to rewrite their own stories …

For three decades, the Seaside Cafe has served delicious meals to locals and island tourists alike. Kayana Johnson has moved home to help her brother run the cafe-and to nurse her wounds following a deep betrayal. Between cooking favorite recipes-creole chicken with buttermilk waffles, her grandmother’s famous mac and cheese-and spending time reading, Kayana is trying to embrace a life free of entanglements, while staying open to new connections …

After striking up conversation with two customers, Kayana suggests a summer book club. Each week, they’ll meet on the patio to talk about their favorite novels. But there are plot twists awaiting them in real life too. For schoolteacher Leah, this two-month sojourn is the first taste of freedom she’s had in her unhappy marriage. Cherie, filled with regret about her long-term affair with a married politician, discovers a powerful new passion. And Kayana finds a kindred spirit in a reclusive visitor who’s ready to make his true identity known, and fill this summer with new possibilities …

The ambiance and flavor of New Orleans are on full display.

-RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

A novel that resembles female bonding romance series like The Bride Quartet by Nora

Roberts… . Capitalizing on its assets- the sensuous Big Easy setting and the rarely encountered middle age romance.
