Praise for Shayne Collier
Set in a coastal town on Australia’s eastern seaboard this book will resonate with many Aussies who were and are part of Australia’s surfing culture. Non-Aussies will find it is much more than ‘Home and Away’. There is mystery as well as romance which kept me turning the pages. I loved it – great beach/holiday read for those who love romance and are looking for something light and ultimately rewarding.
Return To Desiree Bay draws you into the life of the main character and her timely return to her coastal town birthplace where she is unwillingly caught in her family’s ongoing dramas. If you are looking to read an enjoyable and smoothly written novel I would highly recommend this novel.
Return to Desiree Bay was such an enjoyable read. It paints a vivid picture of the beloved coastal towns of Australia, with all their quirks and beauty. It is a book that is filled with colourful and deep characters. It left me feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside and I really did not want it to end.
