White Sand, Blue Sea
White Sand, Blue Sea: A St. Barts Love Story | Anita Hughes
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Olivia Miller is standing on the porch of her mother and stepfather's plantation style villa in St. Barts. They have been coming here every April for years but she is always thrilled to see the horseshoe shaped bay of Gustavia and white sand of Gouverneur's Beach. This trip should be particularly exciting because she is celebrating her twenty-fifth birthday and hoping that Finn, her boyfriend of four years, will propose. The only person who won't be here is her father, Sebastian, whom she hasn’t seen in twenty years. He’s a well-known artist and crisscrosses the globe, painting and living in exotic locations like Kenya and China. When Sebastian unexpectedly walks through the door and floats back into Olivia’s life like a piece of bad driftwood she never knew she wanted, she starts to wonder if her world is too narrow. She questions the dreams and the relationship she’s always thought she wanted. But there seems to be more to the story than an innocent fatherly visit, and Olivia must decide if love is more important than truth. Set on St. Barts, the jewel of the Caribbean, Anita Hughes's WHITE SAND, BLUE SEA is a heartwarming story about romance and adventure, and most important, about knowing yourself, and what makes you happy.

Anita Hughes paints a beautiful picture, the setting is definitely the highlight of WHITE SAND, BLUE SEA. You could feel the breeze, smell the salty air and the scents of all the tropical food. I been to St. Barts and I felt like I was back there again. Besides the setting, I felt the book lacked substance, the characters unlikable, I was hoping for romance and excitement instead I bored and sometimes frustrated. This book is a pass.

wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! 😀 Sorry to hear you have to move. I know what a pain that is - I just moved at the beginning of the month. Hope you have an uneventful & easy move. 6y
MirrorMask @wanderinglynn I hate moving, but I'm hoping it's the last one for a while. I'm planning a trip to Charleston SC in the fall, so that's something to look forward to 😊 6y
wanderinglynn @MirrorMask Ooh, I love Charleston! I‘m trying to figure out a way to move to that area- either Charleston or Savannah. 6y
MirrorMask @wanderinglynn I've been to Savannah and it's wonderful! I haven't looked at the cost of living in either place, but hopefully it works out for you!!! 😄 6y
