Since the death of her husband, Abigail has been lonely and drifting in a house that’s too big and a town that’s too small. When she literally runs into sexy widower and whale-watching excursion captain Tack Garrity on the dock, she’s entranced by his adorable five-year-old daughter. But will Tack, who has harbored a secret crush on Abigail for almost two decades, be able to capture her heart?
A secret pact her husband made with Tack could either tear them apart or bring them closer together and change their lives forever.

The Widows' Gallery Lobster Cove Series eBook Marilyn Baron Reviews
This book has an unusual premise that hooked me right away--several widows, of varying ages, meet on a cruise ship and find a common passion that both binds them together in their loss and in their hope for regaining happiness. Abigail, the heroine, has inherited great wealth but is floundering without her husband. His death has made her bitter and hard. At times, she is difficult to like, especially when she gets furious with Tack, the hero. Then you find out that Tack hasn't been exactly playing it straight with her...and he knows a side of Abigail that seems to be buried along with her husband.
I enjoyed the unique story line, complex characters, well-drawn settings, and the use of art (The Birth of Venus) for both plot and theme. Pay attention to those water scenes!
Abigail Adams Longley tries very hard to be unapproachable. She works to convince us that she's a cold-hearted woman, with an eye only for money, and that she possesses a heart turned cold by the untimely death of her husband.
Slowly and inexplicably the author adeptly turns our opinion of this stalwart individual around as Abigail collects three lost souls, and fills their lives with hope and purpose. She then captures the heart of an intriguing man...a hot intriguing man, and also befriends his young, motherless daughter. It is then that we start to see the true Abigail, a woman who is actually sweet and vulnerable. Ms. Baron does an amazing job convincing us that this previously aloof woman has so much to give, and richly deserves a chance at love.
The hero in this Lobster Cove tale is Tack, a formidable mountain of a man, and we quickly see that he's the only one for Abigail, even if he is a little rough around the edges while trying to get her attention. When sparks fly between the two, it looks like things might go up in flames, but only time and patience will tell.
Ms. Baron has not only written a fine story, she gives exquisite detail to her backdrop. Her expertise in art, and art history really shines through, and makes the tale even more enjoyable filled with rich visuals that give a complete picture of both Abigail and Tack's surroundings. As a bonus,three mini-romances accompany the main romance, and gives the reader more than enough love in this one book to satisfy any heart. Well done.
good read
Offensive language & sexual inuendos and explicit descriptions. ..Overall offensive
Once again, Marilyn Baron writes a captivating story about women "of a certain age." Four widows meet on a cruise, each drowning in grief. By combining their resources, they embark on a project that stretches them and brings great rewards. Ms. Baron's experience in the art world brings authenticity to the story. She handles each character with sensitivity and makes the reader want to root for her to find happiness. Without being intrusive, she paints a lovely picture of a charming seaside town. I look forward to reading her next book in the Lobster Cove series.
I’m not a typical reader of romance novels. The closest I come to picking one up is a book by Fannie Flagg, because I’m a fan of her humor and Southern charm. So what attracted me to The Widows’ Gallery? The idea for the action in this book has it birth in Florence, Italy (my favorite city in the world), inside the Uffizi Gallery (my favorite museum), in front of “Birth of Venus” (my favorite painting). So naturally, I had to order a copy from .
I’ll endure the cheesy romance, I told myself, in order to see how those three lucky stars play out in reshaping the lives of four widows who meet in front of the Botticelli masterpiece. To my surprise, I enjoyed the romantic fantasy and learned why many readers are attracted to this genre of entertaining literature. I also appreciated Marilyn Baron’s ability to hook the reader’s interest and keep the action moving at a fast pace. It’s the type of book you put down after a couple of chapters and 10 minutes later find yourself picking back up to see what happens in the next three chapters. And to my enjoyment, I discovered that the author has a touch of Fannie Flagg’s style.
Above all else, however, I enjoyed The Widows’ Gallery because it is infused with art. Funded by the bottomless deep pockets of Abigail Adams Longley, the widows bring each of their diverse talents together to open in Lobster Cove, Maine, what is to become a magnificent gallery containing the works of both old masters and contemporary artists they discover in extensive world travels. There’s even a passing reference to the Frick Collection (my favorite museum in New York City). In the process of changing their lives, all four widows attract new romance into their lives (of course!).
I especially like the clever way Marilyn Baron works into the story a little of her extensive knowledge of art, giving her readers small slices of art history. Three examples the Nazi confiscation of more than 650,000 masterpieces during WWII and restoration efforts that continue to this day; the loss of countless works of art in 1497 in what became known as the “Bonfire of the Vanities,” masterminded by evangelical friar Savonarola during the Reformation movement; and Simonetta, the unrequited love interest of Botticelli and model for “Birth of Venus.” When I visited Florence, four months before seeing this book, I stayed at a hotel on Ognissanti Square. The first day there, I walked across the courtyard to All Saint’s Church and, while admiring the amazing cathedral, I came across the tomb of Botticelli, located at the feet of Simonetta, just as Marilyn Baron mentions it in The Widow’s Gallery.
Any art lover will enjoy this novel. -- Dub Taft
