overcome the unforgettable pain of betrayal and finding one another
again. Her style is refreshing and her characters believable. I
couldn't put it down!"
---Lori Soard, Author
First of all, I thought the legend of Cougar Lake very appropriate as a legend between two people who loved and lost each other in tragedy. In my opinion, legends of love are legends to learn from in this case it's love that never died and even when there are others who separated them, they remain true to whom their hearts were devoted to. This is true love and it warms my heart. Another dominant theme in Cougar Lake is forgivenessTami forgiving Cami for what she did.

Click here to add your text. COUGAR LAKE is an engrossing story about love between two people and how
hard it is to overcome betrayal. Tia is trying to forget the betrayal of
Colt and her sister in order to make the Inn what she wants. Colt has
feelings of guilt because of his betrayal of Tia with her sister. They both
have to come to terms with the past and then let it go. This is a
well-written plot and will easily hold the interest of the reader.
I loved everything about Robin Bayne's, "Cougar Lake": the title, the location, the characters, and the writing! Ms. Bayne has the ability to write with an authenticity that makes you believe she has experienced whatever her characters experience. As someone with retrograde amnesia, I totally believed Colt's feelings and reactions as he emerged to the reader as a recovering amnesiac. His ability to be manipulated, his hesitancy, and his tentativeness are all trademarks of amnesia Ms. Bayne weaved into the story with startling accuracy. Amnesiacs must rely upon the honesty of other's memories and proffered information. Utilizing that vulnerability, Ms. Bayne successfully writes a tale of betrayal of that delicate trust, and takes the reader captive as she exposes the aftershocks of Cami's breach of faith. "Cougar Lake" is a wonderful romance, but it also possesses the "I wonder what's going to happen next" quality of an intrigue novel!
