Discovering Veronica
By Shannon Greenland 

     Discovering Veronica is the writing debut for Ms. Greenland. It introduces the reader to Veronica Burns who is attempting a fresh start on life. Veronica starts working at an elite private school under Dr. Rico DeAngelo. Dr. DeAngelo has an adorable little girl who immediately is taken with Veronica and Veronica is taken by her. Soon after she begins working, Veronica is haunted by a stalker who also attempts to take something that is precious to Rico. Rico and Veronica have to work and trust each other to overcome their odds with each other and to combat the stalker.

     Discovering Veronica follows a typical romantic scenario with a slight twist of what Veronica does for a living. This book is not dry and does keep the reader interested in the story. The romance between Veronica and Rico is endearing and provides hope to readers. The plot of the stalker could have been more developed in order to give the reader more concern about Veronica's safety. The scenery of the story does not add or take away from the story. The fact that it is an island provides some suspense to the story. Overall, this is a good start for Ms. Greenland.
