This book held my interest from the first page to the last. The author does a good job of telling mingling the past with the present without dropping the thread of the story. Probably one of my favorites by Luanne Rice. Carol 10/28/07

Never read Luanne Rice before, thought she was romance writer. Was surprised at the realistic, intriguing characters that drew me into the emotion of the story. There is some romance, but not the overly-salacious kind. If you have any interest in a (possible/fictional) behind-the-scenes look at a literary figure, beach life, art, and complex family relationships, get this book.

I haven't been disappointed yet by any of Luanne Rice's books. Firefly Beach is no exception. Great story, great characters, great ending.

Excellent book! A page turner!

This book by Ms Rice was my first and won't be my last. I loved how it was easy to follow, the story kept you glued to it and you felt like the characters were personal friends. It has intrigue, romance and just good quality. I highly recommend it.
Good tale of how the things we look for sometimes come true.
Good story. Read it a while back and liked it.
Liked the Book, good read

I loved this book!!!
This is the first Luanne Rice book I've read and it sure won't be my last. I enjoyed this book very much.
Interesting story involving three sisters and a death many years ago. Although, I liked the book enough, it was not a real "page turner" as all of her other books have been for me so far.
Another great Luanne Rice book. Enjoyed it very much!
