The Cliff House by RaeAnne Thayne (FIC Tha)

After their mother died and after a year spent in the foster care system, Daisy and Beatriz were reunited with their aunt, Stella.  The house that they lived in, on a cliff, became the focus of their lives together.

Now, Daisy is an accountant and the sensible one.  But she's hiding a big secret from her sister and aunt.  And then there's the handsome stranger in town who's very presence upsets her carefully balanced world.

Beatriz was a wild child and married her high school flame after she became pregnant.  Now her ex-husband is a famous rock star who wants to re-unite with her but Bea is sure that isn't what she wants.  If only she can convince him that her heart lies elsewhere.

And then there's Stella.  She sacrificed a lot to raise her two nieces, including the love of her life.  Just ten years older than Daisy, she is still able to have the one thing that she craves. 

Told in alternating chapters that focus mostly on the women in the story, there is really no doubt how the book will end.  But I still liked it and kept reading.  I enjoyed feeling as though I lived in a coastal town in Northern California (in a house with a pool, of course!) and liked the characters (even if they were all beautiful and handsome!).

A quick read perfect for summer.
