Revelation
This is another beginning of a great series about 3 sisters
Cinnamon is the oldest and was conceived at an early age with no knowledge of her father
This brings us to a great story of how secrets, lites, betrayal can traumatize parents and children alike
But there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel that brings clarity and happiness at the end
Especially for Jax and Conan. Who have an insta attraction
Storytelling as only Brenda can do she reels you in and you don’t want to let go
Great job Brenda
On to book 2 Cayenne’s story

Touching
I have read most of Brenda Barrett's books. For me this was one of the best! The pain,love, shame, fear, anger, desire for acceptance, and many other emotions were intertwined in the read. This book for me was a tear jerker! My prayer is that many will read it and start the journey to healing. Help is available for those who desire to deal with the pain. Thank you, Brenda!

Good girl
Glad l raed this one to jup off the series otherwise, I'd have been thoroughly confused going forth. The revealed secrets were masterfully interwoven throughout the storyline. Eagerly waiting to read the next one.

WOW!
That was a lot. I know it's just a story, but I found myself getting a little a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e with certain characters.
Secrets, lies, pain, healing, support, new family and love. This book had it all.

Exciting Read
The book was intense and kept me entertained. The drama that led to Cinnamons birth was horrific but a read that was suspenseful.

Hmmmm, I don’t know what happened to my original review ⁉️…Nevertheless, I read “Cinnamon (Spice & Stone - Book 1)” last year (06.28.2024). Unfortunately, I don’t recall my specific thoughts, feelings & or opinions after I completed this book. However, I did record a rating in my literary journal. Consequently, it’s only fair my this review remains neutral.
