Summary: Age Difference Makes Story Too Hard to Swallow
Review: Beautiful young woman of color, Katherine Churchill, falls madly in love with a very old psycho, Frank Taylor. Taylor is hiding a deadly secret from this woman who is totally blinded by her love for him, a man she barely knows, who just happens to have saved her life. The idea is just too unbelievable, for this reader. Had the male been at least 15 years younger, perhaps the idea would have been a little more convincing.

Also, I felt somewhat lost because the author allowed Frank to place too much focus on a story within this story. It seemed as though he was just babbling on at times about the past.

In addition, I never really understood what his true feelings for the female protagonist, were. Her feelings were well known, while his remained questionable.

By the way, I had Frank figured out halfway into the book.

Summary: Page Turner!
Review: Coast Walk is the page turning novel of a con man and murderer and tells the intriguing tale of his diabolical schemes to rob and murder innocent women from coast to coast.
I must admit it took me some time to get past the gory first chapter, but once I read on I could see how it was necesary for the development of the character. Thankfully, he becomes more humane as the book progresses because he unwittedly falls in love with his next victim. Set in the idyllic town of La Jolla California it truly makes you want to make this your next vacation spot.

The story develops very smoothly and quickly and you might want to set aside some time to read it because you won't be able to put it down! Even thou the protagonist is a despicable madman his character is thouroughly explored and his sick warped mind exposed.I found his victim to be a little too naive and trusting but her fathers' overprotectiveness drives her into the wrong arms. While reading it I could easily invision this as a movie with say, Vivica Fox as the leading lady? I think the author would agree. Leading Man? How about Jim Caviezel (Angel Eyes)?
He plays that dark, sinister, mystery man role very well. This is a great thriller and I look forward to more from this well written author.

Summary: Fantastic Book!
Review: I loved the book Coast Walk! It was hard to put the book down once you started to read it! This book was not only romantic, but full of intrigue and suspense. A Fantastic Book!

I was truly impressed with the fact that the Author Frederick Regenold was so detailed with the scenery of La Jalla, the beach, the restaurants and especially his characters. It was as though you were there!! I pictured everything and it seemed so beautiful, warm, scenic/tranquil very hard to come back to reality!

Mr. Regenold used the vocabulary at its best! I can't wait for his next novel. (Hopefully a sequel to this one)! I want more to happen with these two characters. I can't say enough about the book without giving some of it away. This is a must read novel.

I was surprised however, that I was unable to find his book in the bookstores! I was only able to find it on the Internet. I'm an avid reader and often at the bookstores. I hope to find his novels in our bookstores soon!

Summary: Love found in the water.
Review: Katherine Churchill is walking her dog along the cliffs in La Jolla, California when her dog starts barking at a bird on the cliff's edge causing Katherine to fall into the cliff below. Frank Taylor is in the water before and notices her fall into the water. Quickly he makes her way through the water to help the beautiful African-American woman anyway he can. Katherine is caught off-guard by the attractive older white man that comes to her rescue, but she is instantly drawn to his phyiscal presence and charming personality.

The two start a relationship slowly learning more and more about each other as they go. Katherine falls head over heels in love with Frank. It doesn't matter he's so much older than her and that her father disapproves of the pairing. Katherine is a head strong indepedent woman who does what she wants and she wants Frank in her life now and forever.

Frank is drawn to Katherine's intelligence and beauty. He has never met anyone like he before. He wants to get to know her better but not for the same reason as Katherine does.

Coast Walk is an excellent, well-written, fast-paced book. It wil hold you from the very first page to the end. You will think you know what's going to happen, but are surprised each and very time. It will also take you on a ride from La Jolla, California through Honolulu and Acapulco. The scenes in this book are beautifully described by a very talented author. I wouldn't miss out on the chance to add Coast Walk to your book shelf. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Summary: "Coast Walk"
Review: The story, "Coast Walk" is, undoubtedly, the best book I have read in many years. Although the story takes place in La Jolla, California, where I live, it has nothing to do with my impression of this "undiscovered" author's work. He is, in short, a master at writing. What he has written is a masterpiece.The depth of his vocabulary never ends. He has a multifaceted way of describing the characters, the scenery and the room around you, so that you feel like you are in a movie theater watching an outstanding movie. His description of the places and scenes around La Jolla are very acurate. It made me feel like I just walked out my front door and experienced the main characters right here, in my town. He is colorful and continues to give you shocking surprises throughout the book. The author describes the sex scenes in a real life manner. Wow! He must have a lot of experience. He seems to know what goes on in a woman's mind as well as what a man thinks about. The energy of the composition stays all the way through the story and rises with a perfect peak at the end, which left me in tears. I don't cry in many stories, and this one really grabbed me. What a story! This author should not go to waste. I trust that he is writing another book, and his work should be in all the book stores. Everyone should experience this writer. He is another Ernest Hemingway, in the making.
I am surprised that I could find his book only on the Internet.

Summary: A long and boring walk
Review: This book was nothing more that a female basically getting what she asked for. How in the world can someone who professed to be so intelligent (Kat) the female lead in the book be so gullible. Throughout the entire book, the male lead (Jack) warned her not to read to much into their situation and to think about what she was saying and doing to him. He even told her that she didn't know him well enough to profess all of the undying love she purportedly had for him. Jack gave her all the clues in the world to the underlying of his character and she still ignored the signs to the inevitable outcome of the book. About one quarter into the book, it can be figured out what is going on between the two. The author made Kat out to be some kind of love starved, love sick, SEX STARVED, illusioned, naive, and too trusting person. Her entire dialogue consisted of "I love you so much Jack" and "I want you to screw me now Jack" This got very old after the first couple of chapters.
