Gavin Faulkner was the only doctor in the small South Carolina inner coastal town of Shadows Landing. He was used to patching up everything from fishing lures stuck in skin to gator bites. Nothing could surprise him anymore-except when he found an unconscious woman partially submerged near his dock after a fierce thunderstorm.Ellery St. John’s last memory was of a bat swinging toward her head. … The next thing she knew, she was cold, wet, and a sexy man was pressing his lips to hers. Too bad it turned out to be CPR instead of a passionate kiss.Gavin thought Ellery would be safe in the small town where BBQ wars were the biggest danger, but he was wrong. Now it was up to him to help Ellery put the pieces together in order to discover who had tried to kill her and why before they both ended up at the bottom of the ocean.

An excellent story. I have read & listened my way through everything Kathleen Brooks has published. This series like the others ultimately crosses over her Keeneston, KY series. Gavin is first introduced in Layne & Walkers story, along with the rest of the Faulkners.
With this story we are introduced to another small southern town with all the interesting history and quirky characters.
When Gavin rescues a young woman from the river his life changes forever.
Ellery has lost her memory after being thrown into the ocean and left to drown. When Gavin Faulkner the town Dr. rescues her out of the water, he immediately knows that he must protect her. Until Ellery’s memory returns she must stay hidden in Shadows Landing unsure of who attacked her or even who she it. This small town is a long history of pirate ancestors and has no problem defending Ellery when her identity is revealed and her attacker comes to find her.
With each of Kathleen’s books it’s hard not to fall a little bit in love with each of her quirky small towns, the outrageous residents, and the unique feeling of belonging. If it were possible I would have already packed my bags and moved to Shadow’s Landing or Keeneston (Bluegrass Series).
As always the narration by Eric G Dove was amazing. Def at the very top of my favorites list.
Gavin is a doctor in his home town Shadows Landing, Ellery who is in danger and showes up in the river, as Gavin rushing in a storm to pull her out. When Ellery wakes she cant rember what happened but knows she is in danger. Gavin enlists the help of his family from his home town and help from keensten. Can Gavin help Ellery remember what happened and find who is after her? Will the have their happy ever after?
Another great book from Kathleen Brooks! I love that this is a spin off from her Bluegrass series which I love!!! Highly recommend this along with the Bluegrass series to anyone wanting a romantic and funny mystery.

Kathleen Brooks has done it again. This is the first book in her new series, Shadows Landing. The protagonists in this series were originally introduced in “Forever Devoted” and they are the grandchildren of the brothers of Marcy Faulkner Davies, the matriarch of the Davies clan (see Bluegrass Dawn). As in her other series, the town of Shadows Landing is full of quirky characters who rally around to protect a stranger in need. There are laugh-out-loud scenes – Ms. Brooks’ trademark humor – that provide a nice counterpoint to the drama and suspense. The romance develops nicely and true villain was a surprise. I’m looking forward to revisiting Shadows Landing and with six more Faulkner cousins, it looks as if this will be another long series.
Mystery, Humor, and Romance
Romantic suspense great characters, humor, and happily-ever-after in the midst of small-town charm.. A lot of interesting characters make it a laugh out loud read and sets the stage for future stories in the series. Saving Shadows has non-stop action which makes for an exciting story with mystery, humor and romance.
So a new series is born with ties to Keeneston but definitely ready to stand on its own. Settle in for a good tale.
