Great fiction book with some fun secrets and surprises.

My Review
I loved this book! Yet another author I'd never heard of but I'm so glad I found. The book is well written and keeps you reading in a non suspense way. You just want to keep going because you have to know what comes next!

While it's not a mystery book per say but more of a romance/contemporary fiction title, it does have a bit of mystery in it. It also has a lot of head scratch moments where you wonder why the author did that?

Why did Emily's parents have to die in that accident? Was it really necessary for the funding to disappear? How is this going to play into the big scheme of things? Why didn't our new/old resident ex con tell the full story when the crime happened 30 years ago?

So many questions as I read through the book, but in the end I understood them all.

Spoiler Alert*******
Someone finds romance. Two women find truth and a deep secret. One woman finds peace and understanding after a lifetime of sorrow. Parents don't survive and parents are found. And most importantly a small town learns a thing or two about life and love. And one child becomes two in more than one scenario. A town hero who was anything but that.

I've tried not to give too much away. But guys. This book is amazing and I highly recommend you read it on your own. Request it from your library, check it out on Amazon. Get a copy. Share a copy. And then sit back and wait like me while you tap your foot until the next book in the series comes out.

I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own and not coerced in any way.
