Dividing Line #3
A Family Divided
Life for Rachel and her husband Ryan is very good indeed. Loving parents to three children, together they run their business empire while keeping on the straight and narrow, their criminal pasts firmly behind them.
Their idyll is disturbed by a rival family intent on making their mark on Manchester. Jan Jordan, the hard faced matriarch of this rogue family, is fixated with Rachel. The Maguires are still top dog in the city and Jan is convinced Rachel is still a power to be reckoned with. The interlopers threaten to drag her and Ryan back into the life they've managed to avoid for so long and they are forced to resort to desperate measures to stay alive.
However there is also a hidden danger. Someone close to Rachel is working against her, the revelation of a long-buried secret turning love into a corrosive hate, affecting the whole family and they will go to any lengths to destroy her perfect life.
Contains scenes of sex and violence.

Better and better
Oh my Heather Atkinson s books just get better and better, the saga of the Laws and the McGuires continues to thrill us in this third book in the series and doesn't disappoint. Rachel and Ryan go through so much heartache in this book, Alex McGuire turns against them but conceals it and works against them without them knowing and a mad bad firm try to take them out also. So many twists and turns to keep you reading and turning the pages of this really good book. I would recommend it to all.

Now that I know the names of the people in this story, I feel
as though I know them.
We meet the family again, and they are busy working.
Rachel has landed on her feet, with her business.
However, not Everybody loves her family, and we might see people arguing
about it.
You won’t be able to put it down.
Another good book by Heather Atkinson

Fabulous
Absolutely love the dividing line series, I actually broke my heart crying when Rachel lost her baby boy, can’t wait to read the next book.
I have just finished the Glasgow series and the banter between Brodie and peter is hilarious, makes me laugh out loud...

Intriguing and exciting.
A perfect follow on to the second in this series. Beautifully written as expected by this exceptional author.
Can't wait to read the next in the series, it will be good even without starting it.

Gets better with each series
I have to admit the storyline gets better with each series. I am now looking forward to read the fourth book of "Dividing Line Series".
