Sometimes love comes to us soft as a whisper, at the time when we least expect it …
A
heartfelt story of friendship, family, forgiveness, and the
determination it takes for two hearts to rebuild their lives in the
midst of rumors and deception.
Effie’s new position as
interior designer at the historic Oliver Hotel on Honeysuckle Island
represents more than a mere job. It’s Effie’s chance to start fresh and
prove that she’s worth her salt. Having grown up an only child to a
single mother shrouded in sadness, Effie longs to come to terms with the
hurt she still feels over her mother’s death, coupled with the jolt of
reuniting with her father and six half-siblings that she didn’t even
realize she had.
Working for the illustrious and temperamental
Madeline Chasing won’t be easy, but it could be advantageous to have a
close connection with one of the wealthiest families on the East Coast.
There’s only one thing standing in the way of Effie’s success—Talon
Chasing, Madeline’s oldest son and the manager of the hotel. The more
Effie tries to evade him, the harder he pursues her.
Not only is
Effie reluctant to get involved with Talon because of their work
relationship but also because of the whispers of suspicion surrounding
his ex-wife’s disappearance. The closer Effie gets to Talon, the more
she starts to question his innocence.
A series of strange occurrences at the hotel make Effie fear that she might be the next to disappear.
My Review: 5 Stars
I was so sad to see the Romeo family come to an end and was absolutely delighted to see this new series infuse that beloved family within its pages. I love a good romantic suspense and Youngblood has perfected the craft with this one.
Effie is out on her own with a major design client and that first meet cute was hilariously adorable! Talon is charming and lovable, but he's got mysteries enshrouding him and his family. The vibe was creepy, yet sweet; terrifying, yet romantic; chilling, yet fun. I flew through the pages and enjoyed it all. The formula was magnificent and I didn't see some of the twists and turns coming, which reminded me of a frightful roller coaster that shan't be named that always leaves me shaking in my shoes, yet wanting to go again.
This series is off to a great start and I'm eagerly awaiting more of Honeysuckle Island and it's too-close-for-comfort residents.
Content: mild+ moments of peril/fear; mild romance; mild religion
