 Best Romance I've Read - Transcends the Genre November 12, 2008
English Teacher (Seattle, WA USA)
This is far and away the best romance novel I've ever read. The story is beautiful, but Wiggs' writing is what elevates her novels above all others in the genre, and she is at her best here. I am a High School English Teacher and lover of the language. I have studied the worlds' greatest literature and poetry. Still, I find myself impressed with Wiggs' writings, even dog-earing pages and highlighted passages with particularly pleasant wording (such as the beautifully descriptive "he lifted one gloved hand in farewell, and for a moment his splayed fingers looked like a white star in the crisp blue sky" pg 237). If you want an absorbing, easy read, that doesn't sacrifice quality, Wiggs is your author. If you want a powerful love story with full, vibrant, loveable characters, "Ocean" is your book - though I also highly recommend "Table of Five"

Another good read November 17, 2007
L. Rossi (Laguna Hills, CA)
This is only the second book of Susan's I have read, and this was excellent. It gives you a whole new insite on Military life, and what families go through while someone is off to war. I couldn't put this book down. What a great thrift store find! Can't wait to read another one of her books. Kudos to you Susan!!!
Captures military life and the beautiful Pacific NW July 17, 2007
Kathie J. Hightower (Nehalem OR)
When I read this, I thought, "she must be a military spouse...she has captured how we feel." Since I am a military spouse and author, I contacted her, wanting to make connection. Turns out she isn't a military spouse, and never has been. Which just goes to show how much research this novelist puts into her books.
As someone who has lived in the NW and a long time lover of lakes, I loved the setting as well. Whether you are military or not, if you've ever faced a time period of doubt in your life about your choices and life direction, you'll relate. A great summer read! Kathie Hightower, coauthor of Help! I'm a Military Spouse...I Get a Life Too!

C. Sutherland (Virginia, USA)
When I read this book, my husband was in the Navy and on a 6 month deployment. While I found the book slow throughout, the author does an excellent job of depicting military life, and the sacrifices that every man and woman in uniform, and their families make on a daily basis. Freedom really is not free.
