Can a plane ride save a turbulent marriage? Only if the couple survives the flight...
After marrying his high school sweetheart, everything falls into place for Ben Stevens. He nails a college coaching gig. He and his wife have twin boys. Life is perfect.
Erica Stevens disagrees. Desperate to prove she’s as perfect as she seems, she needs more. After an early miscarriage and a cross-country move back to the state she was happy to leave, her picture-perfect image shatters.
Things get worse before they get better…
As if miscarriage and a looming divorce aren’t enough, Ben’s father falls ill. Together the couple boards a private flight to the small mountain town to see his dad. But they never arrive.
Find out if Ben and Erica can survive to save their marriage in Missing in Maplewood, a standalone romantic suspense.
My Review: 4 Stars
I used to think once a couple said, "I do." and married, the happily ever after began, but that's not true. Marriage is hard and as life progresses, people can get beaten down with grief, changes happen, and a couple may grow apart. High school sweethearts, Ben and Erica, find themselves in exactly this situation and my heart broke for them as their struggles are real and upfront from the very beginning. In a series of unfortunate events, Ben and Erica find themselves digging deep to survive and in the process, may just heal the deep rifts in their marriage.
I would be absolutely terrified to end up missing, especially with the stress and heartache of an impending divorce hanging over my head. Bromke does a good job of conveying these perilous events to the reader, but I would have loved to have more background to their romance and how things fell apart. Yes, we're given snippets, but not enough to invest me emotionally. That said, this is a gripping adventure, where things go from back to worse, and I was entertained and on the edge of my seat.
I've read all of the books in this series and this one can stand alone.
Content: a lot of mild language; mild violence/peril; mild romance (implied intimacy between minors and between a married couple)
