Book Review - Serenity Cove

Serenity Cove is a gripping romantic novel that is set solely in the Caribbean and the story goes back and forth between the islands of Dominica and Barbados. Sandy and Jonathan, the novel’s two central characters met at the fictitious Serenity Cove Hotel in Dominica, where Sandy was vacationing from her highly stressful business, and where Jonathan was one of the hotel’s managers. The attraction was immediate but their fire and ice personalities would put that attraction to the test.

Sandy was a young, driven, black Barbadian woman with a volatile and stubborn personality that tapered and matured over time, yet insecurities still lingered. Jonathan was a white Canadian man with rich Barbadian ancestry (Barbadian/Canadian). He is a very handsome, laid-back, easy-going guy yet passively aggressive when it came to claiming what he wants from life.

Cherylann Greene, the author, made this novel extra interesting by bending the rules of courtship and defied the status quo as laid down by the powers that be in Christian circles.  These two strong personalities had to overcome their racial differences and faulty personality traits - making the story uniquely theirs.

You would also fall in love with Sandy’s best friend Marky, whose personality is sunshine with a dash of cold, harsh reality checks. Jonathan’s grandparents and an unexpected visit from his mother and an ex-girlfriend, adds to the twists and turns of this incredible novel.
