Tom's River Saga #1
A Perfect Stranger
From the #1 Bestselling author of Death By Honeymoon, comes a new romance series....
Nestled among trees and hills, set alongside a winding river, the small town of Tom’s River, Wisconsin, so beautiful and protected, is a place where everybody knows each other, a place where nothing ever changes and where people can feel safe. But one day, all that changes. Megan’s husband suddenly goes missing without a trace.
As the search deepens, Megan discovers the truth not only about her husband, but also about the secrets he’s been hiding in their marriage. Her world is shaken as she realizes she’s been in a relationship with a man who’s been living a secret life, a man she never really knew.
Some months after his disappearance, as the snows of winter melt, Hunter, a handsome, magnetic stranger, arrives in Tom’s River. A loner with a mysterious past, he is content with his solitary job at the lumber yard. But as a tornado ravages the town, he is destined to cross paths with Megan, as she seeks help to repair her damaged home.
Once Hunter and Megan meet, nothing is ever the same again. As he repairs the roof that blew off her home, the two cannot hold back their feelings for each other. They fall madly in love. Yet Megan cannot, once again, live with a man who is keeping secrets from her: she needs Hunter to open up about who he is, about what he’s running from. And that is not something Hunter may be ready to do.
As they face a crucial crossroads in their affair, a shocking and dramatic twist takes place: one that will test their love, and will test the town. This book explores what is truly means to be a stranger to others and to oneself, and how to live a life where deep love and connection are possible. As Megan's new relationship is tested, as she learns to break free from lies and live from the truth of herself.
The book is available on amazon and bn.

This chick knew nothing nothing nothing about her husband.
This book goes on longer than I expected to.
I honestly started to get bored.
So of course he disappeared to be with another woman.
Like dude.. everyone thought you were dead...
He should have gotten a divorce instead of allowing your daughter to believe you were dead
He should be in jail... Just like that girl who faked her own kidnapping...
A divorce is definitely what is needed for Megan at this point.
In the night that she was searching for Hunter she should not have left her daughter alone with Kyle when he just got back to from heaven knows where...
I just felt like there was something that megan and her daughter should have just moved away and moved on with their lives.
Hunter saved the day just in time I guess..
3 stars because the story was so predictable

Not one of her better books. It was very flat with no suspense, no twists, and left nothing to the imagination. The book was very predictable from the start. It is what I refer to as a cookie cutter romance novel. Basically you can fill in the blanks with the characters, the setting, and change up the plot a bit and you have the same thing. I had no problems leaving the room and coming back without being lost in the story.
This is a book I would skip and move on to the next.

The beginning was a lot better than the end. The beginning seemed to go into more depth & have more details. It was a good book to listen to though.

I did not like it. It bored me. I didn't want to pick this up. And I also didn't understand it which made me confused. I do not recommend.

What is this book really about?
I am having trouble reconciling this book with several other books by this author. There was not one character that I liked or admired! The heroine was a clueless idiot,her friend a neurotic ,the husband was despicable before he took off and the police chief was a slime. I hated it!!

Good story line but not very well written. While I know it's a series, the ending of the first book was blah; haven't decided if I will read the next one or not.
