Reviews

[Vivian]

This is the third book on the series but can be read as a standalone.
Isabelle ran away from her life in California and her fiancee to the town of Cascadia in search of the woman who was her former boyfriend girlfriend. Once she finds her together can take him down and unmasked his true persona. But is he really that dangerous or is she being misled by the actions of another person?
And of course, there's the super sexy, real good person police officer who swept her off her feet, even though falling for someone else is the last she wanted.
There's a twist at the end and a cliffhanger that makes you desperately want to read the following book.

A very intriguing story! A girl on the run, searching for a woman who "has been in her shoes" in regards to a relationship. Where to go? Who to trust?
This book sure has an unexpected twist at the end! Totally surprised me. I highly recommend this book to be your next read.
I was provided with an advanced reader copy; this review is my honest opinion.

Another mystery, actually more than one, with Belle, or is it Mabel, and Jamie finding their way to each other, with a surprise ending. A cute, fun story with a HEA.

Good read

I enjoyed this book but felt it had too many characters to keep up with. Several times I wanted to stop reading but always line to finish what I started.
