Uvi_Poznansky | Mar 24, 2014 |   Finn McGraw grows up on the cape in MA where his family runs the blueberry farm during the summer months. I feel like this is two books in one because each chapter tells of a different age of the characters. The chapters alternate in time and that is sometimes confusing. There are mainly two people-when they first meet on the beach and spend time to get to know one another. First love and sex scenes. And the present day where the woman has died along with his brother and he now owns everything his brother had. He is living and working at the manor of Seacrest and Libby is the one that gets him up and moving rather than just lying around the cottage on the estate after he learns of his wife's passing. Through each of the time frames we learn of the family's past and how the others had died... So much pain when he finds out what his brother did that broke he and Sassy up from dating. Love the location of the sea and the cape and journeys throughout the book. Love the story line but not all the sex scenes-was a bit much. I received this book from Vickie Dold I.O. Book Tours via the author for my honest review. (  ) jbarr5 | Oct 25, 2013 | Author: Aaron Paul Lazar Copyright: 2013 First Edition: August, 2013 "Life can change in the blink of an eye," is opening line of Aaron Paul Lazar's romantic mystery, “ The Seacrest.” Handyman Finn McGraw was in the process of being verbally abused by the estate owner’s stuck up daughter when the arrival of a police car distracted him. The news of a fatal accident was broken to him by Police Chief Karamer. Finn’s world turned upside down with the death of his estranged brother, and Finn’s wife? Finn began to wonder, why were they together, how long had Cora been meeting his brother? Author Lazar switches chapters seamlessly between Finn's childhood and the present day life of the man. Two romances are told in “ The Seacrest:” the first is between boy and girl, and the second is between man and woman. Follow Finn as he sorts out his past, and the loss of his one true love. Was his brother a bad seed bent on destroying everyone Finn had loved, but then why did Jax bequeath his accumulated wealth and the family blueberry farm to him? Finn is determined to find the truth, but can he handle it? I agreed to review this book as part of a promotional blog tour, and was supplied a PDF for my honest review. The Seacrest was a pleasant surprise. I am always interested in a man’s point of view on the intimate relationship between a man and woman. Lazar relates Finn’s tale in the first person with a great deal of sensitivity. The book is well written, and the sex scenes were tender and loving, but also make this novel not suitable for those under 18. “The Seacrest” earns a four star rating on my review meter, and I highly recommend it.

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Finn McGraw disagrees.He was just seventeen when he had a torrid summer affair with the girl who stole his heart-and then inexplicably turned on him. Finn may have moved on with his life, but he's never forgotten her.Now, ten years later, he's got more than his lost love to worry about. A horrific accident turns his life upside down, resurrecting the ghosts of his long-dead family and taking the lives of the few people he has left.Finn always believed his estranged brother was responsible for the fire that killed their family-but an unexpected inheritance with a mystery attached throws everything he knows into doubt.And on top of that, the beguiling daughter of his wealthy employer has secrets of her own. But the closer he gets, the harder she pushes him away.The Seacrest is a story of intrigue and betrayal, of secrets and second chances-and above all, of a love that never dies."The Seacrest is a poignant love story that will have you reaching for the tissues.

The story keeps alternating between two frames: the past, when Finn first fell in love with Libby and lost her, and the present, when his wife, Cara and his brother Jax are found dead as her car goes off a cliff. Are these events, separated by time, connected? Can Finn put together the clues and gain an understanding, perhaps even redemption, so that love can blossom over the ruins of his past, as once it did? “I held her, realizing with a start that in spite of the horror of what happened, our future now lay open…”
I was first drawn to The Seacrest because of its cover, which is unabashedly romantic. Against the golden background of a sea suffused with golden light, the silhouettes of two lovers are just about to kiss, and the letters of the title are just about to embrace each other. Aw… So lovely—and so is this story.
Enjoyed the voice of George Kuch as Finn. After listening to him reading Seacrest I checked out some of his other work, and I can hear that even when he does non-fiction, such as in Write Like the Wind: Volume 1 and Volume II, he can be lift the text from the page and make it personal. even intimate. That, to me, is the mark of good narration.
Five stars. (
