Summary: Third Book in the Cutler Family Series
Review: After being rescued from the Meadows in the previous book ("Secrets of the Morning") by her longtime sweetheart Jimmy Longchamp, Dawn Cutler is back at Cutler's Cove, this time as the owner of the prestigious hotel. The estate was left in her name when her grandfather's will was read in the previous book, revealing that he was, in fact, her biological father.Yet Dawn isn't the only one to be lied to about her birth. Clara Sue, Dawn's younger sister, soon discovers another secret kept by both girl's mother: that Randolph Cutler isn't Clara Sue's father either; Bronson Alcott is. In fact, just two months after Randolph dies (which happens during Dawn and Jimmy's honeymoon), Dawn's mother and Bronson intend to marry. All of this is quite a shock, especially for Clara Sue, and she takes it out on Dawn one day by attacking her and causing her to miscarry. Despite the constant barrage of problems from her dysfunctional family, Dawn tries to take more control of her life and create a new, more stable environment for herself by, first, tracking down her newborn baby, Christie, who had been stolen and adopted shortly after being born in secret at the Meadows. Next Dawn marries Jimmy, who has remained loyal and devoted to her ever since they were children, even after both of her ill-fated relationships with Philip Cutler (her half-brother, who is still obsessed with her) and Michael Sutton (her vocal instructor, who pays her a visit later on). Yet I wouldn't consider Dawn's marrying Jimmy the most "normal" decision she's ever made. It's still slightly incestuous, even though Jimmy is a great guy. Additional past characters revisit Dawn (and a few more die) over the course of years this book covers, such as her estranged "father" (Daddy Longchamp, the one who had "kidnapped" her) and his new family. Even Fern Longchamp (Dawn baby "sister") makes an unforgettable appearance at the end. Sadly, "Twilight's Child" is the last book told from Dawn's viewpoint, for tragedy strikes again in the following book, "Midnight Whispers", which is the story of Dawn's 16-year-old daughter, Christie Longchamp. The Cutler family series concludes with the fifth installment, "Darkest Hour".

Summary: Horror Lurks Everywhere, So Why Not At Uncle Philip's?
Review: Dawn reclaims her baby daughter, and then goes to live in Cutler's Cove Hotel, where she will be the new boss lady. She and Jimmy marry, obviously. She should be happy with her life, but she has this weird feeling that new horrors lurk around the corner. There is her brother who still lusts after her, and her baby sister who has grown up with another family who seems to have warped her, Laura Sue, the selfish mother, and of course, the hateful Clara Sue. And Daddy Longchamp pays a visit as well. Interesting enough, right? Yet there is something I find oddly peculiar, if not downright wrong. Dawn is scared to death of Clara Sue coming within even two feet from little Christie, yet she pretty much sends her packing off to Uncle Philip's place every day when she was no more than four or five-years-old. And we all know what dear old Uncle Philip is after. Is Dawn really that naive? Those of you who have read the first two books know that Dawn doesn't exactly trust Philip around herself, so why her young daughter, even when there is Betty Ann and a nurse? In Seeds of Yesterday (Dollanganger), the protagonist, Cathy, broke out into a cold sweat every time Bart or Joel went near Deirdre and Darren, and "Uncle Bart" was not nearly as bad as "Uncle Philip". The ghost writer doesn't seem to portray Dawn as the kind of loving mother we can appreciate. She is so downright neglectful, she makes Corrine Foxworth appear to be a saint. Perhaps her fate in Midnight Whispers was karma. Christie doesn't need that kind of a mother. That said, this is the best book in the series.

Summary: Dawn Tries to Put the Worst Behind Her
Review: Dawn's been haunted by the bad days she has had when she was in Cutler's Cove and the Meadows. No matter how hard she tried not to think about those days some unfortunate circumstances make the bad memories haunt her. Dawn tries to teach Fern about appropriate conduct, but Fern has been refusing to listen. Clara Sue had been making a big pest of herself. She had no business calling Christie names or kidnapping her from the hotel. If I had been in Dawn's shoes, I would have pressed charges against Clara Sue when I had the chance. That way Clara Sue would know that nobody has to put up with her making trouble.

Summary: Third Book in the Cutler Family Series
Review: I cant put these books down! 3rd one in a week! i guess ive got too much time on my hands. lol. I erally enjoyed this book. I liked how it took different twists and turns. I hate Micheal, but from the last book, i always expected he'd turn up again. Dawn and Jimmy face many problems throughout there marraige. I wish Dawn would tell Juimmy more though, rather than getting him upset with her al the time. But they always seem to fix there problems and relinquish there love for one another. Im glad Dawn could finally become pregnant with Jimmy's child. I can imagine how it broke his heart that they were unable to for a number of years. The way Fern turned out completaly took me by surprise. Maybe she'll improve in the next book. Clara Sue was cut out of the series quit harshly too. But i suppose it was for the best. no more torment. I wonder if Phillip will get over his obsession with Dawn, or will he attack her once again? Will she ever tell Jimmy of the initial rape, and the attack in there own home, or wil Dawn and Phillips encounters remain a secret from Jimmy, one who has every right to know, forever?

Summary: Good
Review: I liked this book because of all the different tragedy's, that made you wonder How can anyone have so much bad luck. I liked Dawn up until she cheated on Jimmy. I thought it was just puppy love for her and for him it was just a good time. But in this book it seemed like she got this big ego. It seemed she was always comparing people to herself and how she was SO much better looking. She obviously thinks highly of herself. I got this understanding after she met Phillips wife Betty Ann. She kept comparing herself to Betty Ann. Also I thought Fern was a little snot. And it aggravated me that Jimmy didn't take notice right away. I still don't see how they could of gotten away with taking her away from her adoptive parents without the law involved. Sure Fern would've lied but I still think that there was a way for the adoptive parents to win in court. Besides how could the adoptive parents (don't remember their names) explain to other people (familly members, teachers, friends, etc.) why she isn't with them no more. Other then those things the book was enjoyable. I look forward to reading the next.
