When her husband Richard dies in a freak accident, Shelby Pomeroy is devastated. But his death reveals a horrible truth - Richard was a liar and a cheat. Now Shelby is left with the consequences - huge, terrifying debts and mounting proof that her late husband betrayed her in every conceivable way.
Heart-broken but unbowed, Shelby is determined to fix her problems - if only for the sake of her gorgeous little daughter Callie. Returning home to Tennessee and the family she thought she'd lost for ever, she discovers a new sense of strength and freedom. And hope, too, in the handsome form of carpenter Griffin Lott - a straight-dealing man who couldn't lie to her if he tried.
But not everyone is thrilled to see Shelby Pomeroy back in town. And when a shocking act of violence is traced back to Richard's shady business, it becomes clear that she is not safe from him, even in death. With her life in danger, Shelby must face the lies of the past - or lose everything.
Review
I've never read a book by Nora Roberts before and was really
happy to be given the opportunity to read her newest release.
The writing is descriptive and inviting you to read on and on for
hours. The setting down in 'Rendezvous Ridge' in Tennessee sounded absolutely
beautiful and ideallic, everyone was really relaxed, it sounded an amazing
place where you could just chill out, especially in the summer months, sitting
in a garden or park drinking some iced tea.
Shelby is a strong woman who is amazingly resourceful, determined
yet sensitive and kind hearted. What she finds out about her recently deceased
husband is truly shocking and the shocks don't stop there. It is astounding
hoew she copes with it and speaks volumes for her character that she is so
straight headed and up beat about everything, but then she does have Callie to
consider, she is a great mother.
As Shelby and Callie arrive back down south, there is a welcome
back party which sounded so wonderful. Everyone was so wam and friendly, you
really felt the atmosphere.
Shelby soon meets Griff who is beyond lovely. Charming and
handsome but without being cocky. Perfection on a page. I loved how well he go
on with Shelby's young daughter, Callie, their scenes together were some of the
best in the book, my favourite being the pizza parlour scene, it was so cute
and funny.
As mentioned I have never read a book by Nora Roberts, but I will
certainly look into her vast back catalogue now! Heart-warming with tension and
a fantastic twist at the end, definitely a book you should add to your TBR
pile!
