Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Luisa Marietta Gold spent much of her adult life in Pennsylvania working for a large corporation. After her daughter was born, she relocated to North Carolina and began working as a Realtor while operating a recreational business with her husband. Her current home is near a lake reminiscent of the Rideau Lakes, which provided the setting for The Osprey Cove Lodge Series. The series was born from her love of that region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. Many years were spent enjoying the Rideau, staying in lodges, and for a time, her own cottage. Among her interests are swimming, painting, cooking, baking, and of course, writing and storytelling. But it’s the simple things of life that bring the most enjoyment, like the beauty of the trees outside the window of her writing room as they change with the seasons, watching the sunrise and sunset, and being entertained by her kitties as they interact and play. Many of these interests and life experiences are woven into the pages of her books.

You will love how this story evolves--but get ready for the cliffhanger--you are going to want more!
If I told you that I read this first in the series and immediately went in and purchased the second? Yeah it was that good!! It kind of reminded me of those television soap operas where you just had to tune in the next day to find out what happened!! As a matter of fact I'm surprised they haven't grabbed this for a series yet (there are 15 books in this series I think at least for now).Rich girl-poor boy marry once he realizes she has money. Then he finds something in a car he went out and bought with her money--and takes off for parts unknown. She went on a job at the Osprey Cove Lodge and falls in love with it. She ends up wowing the owner's son and saves the account for her boss.She is rather torn up about the disappearance of her husband and before another meeting to finalize the deal decides to go back there for a couple days before the meeting----You will love how this story evolves--but get ready for the cliffhanger--you are going to want more!!!

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written romance book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great romantic movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

This book 1 left me wanting to know more of the story. The characters are well developed, they are engaging. Some surprises in this book, enough to make the story original and not predictable.

This series is absolutely wonderful. I have read every one and can't wait for the next one. Amazing intertwining of characters and lives that are so real you want to call them up and go out to dinner with them. I want to stay at the Osprey Cove lodge and fish in the lake. The reality is so engaging you want to just jump in and be one of the characters. I fully encourage reading this book and the ones that follow.

3.0 out of 5 stars The book has a good story line, one which leads me to read the next book.
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023

However, the author could use a good editor because her sentences are choppy: subject, verb; subject verb. There are a couple grammar issues, particularly the use of “I” when “me” is correct. For instance, Alex and I went to the boat. The day was a long one for Alex and me. Also, I noticed a plural word had an apostrophe, making it possessive.

Those are common errors, but to be more professional and not get on this old curmudgeon’s down side, I recommend doing a little editing and polishing.

I plan, however, to buy the next book, as I want to know how Doug manages to fund his life style, and how Catherine and Alex manage to work out their relationship.

A cliffhanger. ;(

Atrocious editing, including rough grammar and the use of apostrophe-s to pluralize

Granted, I picked this book up free, but I hesitate to spend money on something put together so sloppily.

I am under the impression this is a self-published book, without the guidance of of professional editor or, at the very minimum, a professional proofreader. Between misspellings and poor grammar, the book was difficult to read when I had to stop to get the right gist of what I was reading. The poor matching up of opening and closing quotation marks in dialogue had me re-reading numerous passages. The author failed to use commas where they should have been.

All in all, a very disappointing book. I won't be buying other books in this series, nor any other books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delicious story
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017

This story is deliciously complicated. A family of three young adult children are orphaned when both parents die tragically in a car crash. They inherit the family mansion and business. The son was already groomed to take over from his dad, so the business was left in his care. One sister was completely disinterested. The other sister was determined to prove her skills in marketing. She succeeded by becoming the youngest director in a different company. Two years before she had interviewed a man for a position. They ended up marrying. He married her for her wealth. He booked a holiday to celebrate their second anniversary but asked her friend and her husband to join them. He liked her friend more than his wife. His wife was called back early from the holiday which infuriated her husband. She left anyway. He changed. He turned against her, buying a red Corvette while she made a business trip to Canada. She met a really nice man there. He liked her too but since he was widowed, with an eight-year old daughter, and she was married, neither acted on their mutual attraction. Things changed. What I especially appreciated in this book was the clean decent great story without the erotica, and lack of morals so prevalent in the average story, and the romantic storyline. If this is a first story, I congratulate Luisa Marietta Gold. Well done! I look forward to reading follow-ups and more stories. Thank you!

Escape to Osprey Cove by Luisa Marietta Gold
Catherine is a nice girl, infatuated by the story of how her grandfather Gregstone turning a broken down truck,a handmade tool belt and himself the only employee into a multi-million dollar construction business through hard work. Unfortunately she’d met Doug at a young age, felt sorry for his hard luck story of growing up with a single mum and nothing he ever wanted that the other kids had, no matter how hard his mum worked. Doug heard her story of money, her parents dying in an accident leaving more money and assets to three children and he set out to become part of that wealthy family, no matter that he didn’t love hardworking sweet Catherine. A creepier husband he couldn’t have been if he’d tried.
Escape to Osprey Cove is about a business deal about to go bad that Catherine worked on to turn it around, loving Osprey Cove where the client took her to explain his business. The water, boat, scenery and client’s ideals of getting young people away from computers and into the outdoors having fun and adventures matched her own sense of nature. Catherine hoped to make Alex’s dreams come true so that a generation would learn to leave their computer gear and create a healthy lifestyle of fitness in the outdoors as well. She enjoyed herself so much that it wasn’t hard for Catherine and client Alex to get along in work as they played on the water.
A great book that kept my interest as the story unfolds. I want to read the next book as well. I became so invested in the characters I liked that I truly want to learn more! Even when disliking Doug I thoroughly enjoyed this well written ebook. I bought it and the review is my own.
