Review: Do psychological problems like ADD have to affect you forever? - Jess O’Brien has overcome a lot — the challenges of attention deficit disorder, the near bankruptcy of her beloved Inn at Eagle Point and her self-perception as a screwup in a family of overachievers. Now she’s ready to share the future with a man. Her friends persuade her to join a dating service — but she gets no takers! Which is fine with her childhood friend, psychologist Will Lincoln, who’s already chosen the perfect man for Jess: himself. Will has loved Jess practically forever. He knows her faults and her strengths. But for all Will’s sincerity and charm, Jess fears he views her as some psychological case study. With her family and the town of Chesapeake Shores behind him, Will finally makes his case. But is it enough to convince Jess to take the risk of a lifetime?" Read this book just after finishing 'Driftwood Cottage' Enjoyed seeing the characters in new roles to each other. I was interesting in the story of the girl who couldn't focus unless she wasn't interested in something - usually wanted something new rather than anything routine. The issue of attributing everything to her ADD by herself and by everyone else wh knew about her problem was interesting. Don't we all make a habit of using our problems and traits as the excuse for our actions. We also tend to blame the things we think are wrong about ourselves as the reasons that our friends and families behave a certain way toward us. Remember how we criticize ourself about things no one else notices. A ver interesting novel that I would rate 4.5 Stars. (less) Review: Moonlight Cove - I liked the book; I love the stories of the O'Brien family; although it does seem a little repetitive on all the story lines. Man & woman in love, but things happen to test that love; they do stupid things that alienate each from the other; they make up and then find they are truly meant to be together in the end. Need some kind of other twists!!

Moonlight Cove
I love this series. I like that Jess learns how to deal with her disability. She finds a man who loves her. Connie finds love for the first time since her divorce.

Sherryl Never Disappoints Me
When I started reading 'Moonlight Cove", I realized that I had read it once before quite a long time back. But Sherryl makes her characters like so many people I know in real life, that I loved reading it again. She has a quirky sense of humor-which I love-so it was a pleasure to read the book again. As an avid reader, maybe I'd better make a list of books I've read, but I'm glad I made the mistake and would recommend it to anyone if they are ready to escape into Sherryl's entertaining fiction.

Good, but apparent lack of understanding about ADD
This was my first book written by Sherryl Woods. The plot was an excellant foundation for this storyline. The characters are well developed. The reading was brisk. The pictorial descriptions within the texture were well written. The problem I have with this book is the author's lack of understanding ADD and the people who have been diagnosed as ADD. My son has ADD and is now an adult. There was too heavy of reliance on ADD and blaming everything on the character. Not everything can be traced back to ADD. The author used this diagnosis and catch all for everything. It is unfair to lump everything in ADD. As a novice writer, if I am going to write about something I am going to be as knowledgeable as possible before I put myself out there in a piece of writing I am going to publish.

A look at a rare relationship
Moonlight Cove is the setting of the start and high point of a love story that is rare, but hopeful at the same time. Will is a psychiatrist, which is helpful in understanding Jess and her idiosyncrasies, but since he's been in love with her since he was 14, he knows her better than anyone else, including herself at times, and "gets" her. It's his patience and understanding that makes Jess fall in love with him. For someone with ADD, she's lucky to have Will to love all of her, faults and all. He loves her for who she is. The story also delves into the relationship of Thomas O'Brien, Mick's brother, and Connie Collins, Mick's son-in-law's sister. The end left me wanting to read more about both couples.
