"Frank is a light read. I can't say I fell in 'love' with her characters, but it was entertaining. At the end, I was skimming a bit and found the storyline hard to follow. I think she meant to have a twist, but it came out flat. Other than that, a book worthy of a light summer read....fast and brainless."
"This is another enjoyable story set in Charleston from Dorthea Benton Frank. Insulting comments and a horrible accident cause Betts McGee to break her engagement to the love of her life and run away from her family in Charleston to New York City. She makes a new life there until she is asked to return to SC to oversee the heavy financial investment of her company in Bull's Island, a development being built by her powerful and wealthy former fiancee. The story is fast-paced and funny with enough suspense to keep it from being too predictable."
"I read this book, which is quite out of what I usually read, based entirely on the title I admit. Bulls Island is "home" and the author did a wonderful job of bringing that precious place, the people, and the culture to life in the pages of this story. The story itself is interesting and beautifully told with rich characterizations and a fully developed plot.
I enjoyed the story very much, and recommend it to lovers of women's lit, and romance."
"I love all of Dorothea's books and this one was no exception. They are all based on the Charleston SC area - fun reads - very entertaining. I highly recommend all of her books."
