Meet the Fletchers of Dare Island
Ambitious Meg, the daughter who never looked back
Steady Matt, the son who stayed
And rebel Luke, the Marine who thought he’d never return
Meg Fletcher spent her childhood dreaming of escaping Dare Island—her family’s home for generations. So after she landed a high-powered job in New York City, she left and never looked back. But when she loses both her job and the support of her long-term, live-in boyfriend, she returns home to lick her wounds and reevaluate her life.
Helping out her parents at the family inn, she can’t avoid the reminders of the past she’d rather forget—especially charming and successful Sam Grady, her brother's best friend. Their one disastrous night of teenage passion should have forever killed their childhood attraction, but Sam seems determined to reignite those long-buried embers. As Meg discovers the man he’s become, she’s tempted to open her vulnerable heart to him. But she has no intention of staying on Dare Island—no matter how seductive Sam’s embrace might be…

Lorelei's Lit Lair
Written on Jun 1, 2013
Where to start... I've been eager to read Virginia Kantra's second Dare Island Novel- Carolina Girl after reading her first of this series, Carolina Home.
Why? Well, if I was delighted with the first story, I can say the author certainly impressed me again with Carolina Girl.
Carolina Girl truly swept me away. This contemporary novel is full of romance, family and small town community support. Sam Grady will charm you with his fun teasing and great character. He had me swooning with his ways, the true dream guy.
I loved the relationship between Sam and Meg, it was fun, romantic and real. Their scenes together gave me that -butterflies in the tummy- feeling . You could tell they had chemistry from the start. Other family drama fit in well with the story, kept me hooked and reading till the end. Not a dull moment while I read. Now I'm eager and will have to patiently wait for the next book to come out!
I highly recommend this one if you enjoy swoon worthy romances and true family bonds. If you like Robyn Carr, Jill Shalvis and Kristan Higgins, you will definitely like Virginia Kantra's A Dare Island Novel series. She's now on my favorite authors list! I give it a 4.5 rating.
I am a free lance reviewer and accepted a review copy of this book in return for my honest review.
