Cerulean Skies is a tale of repressed love and hidden desires as well as a wonderful back-to-nature story. In the first two books of the Detective Rein Connery mystery series (Pigeon Blood and The Tattered Thread, respectively), Rein Connery has been an elusive man who no one has really gotten to know. In Cerulean Skies, a personal side to him is finally introduced as he is reunited with the greatest love of his life. The moment Rein sees Paula Wrenfrew again, his old feelings for her immediately resurface. And that's unfortunate since she's been married to another man for several years. Cerulean Skies is not only a fanciful, lighthearted romp through the wilderness as Rein and Paula search for a murdered comrade's new wild rose species, it's also a serious tale of unforeseen dangers and a struggle to survive at all costs. It has been suggested that Paula is the star of the story. If that's the case, she's not alone; also starring is the promise of a new tomorrow, the joy of discovering something no one has ever seen before, and the chance to rekindle an old flame that our hearts always knew would never die.
