Rene & Issac have been spending a lot of time together & getting re-aquatinted after 20 year. Out of the blue her ex-husband shows up & makes a big scene. He grabs Rene & is hurting her. Issac is crossing the street & see it & he hits Nigel. Nigel is furious & leaves & go to the emergency room.He gets pain medication & took them with booze. He went back to the inn & made an even worse scene than before. He threateneds to take Issac to court & sue him for everything he has. He was drunk & passes out. Something happens to Amelia & they have to take her to the hospital. They are all beside themselves worrying, but they find out she had an allergic reaction to a fruit she didn’t even know she was allergic to. Rene was trying to find out why the Garcia sisters were getting money from from her parents. There are so many questions & the answers are slow in coming. This is a really good story & takes awhile to get all the answers. In the meantime someone shows up to see Rene! Now who could that be? She’s in for a shock!

I received this ARC for free and I’m giving my honest opinion in this review without any influence from anyone.

Just a joke,right?

So I've read books 1 through 4. The story is a great story and the characters are great, but each book leaves you hanging in the middle of a crisis or conversation. I've already spent too much time and money to buy the next book for$2.99. I don't need to read it to know the outcome. I know what will happen to Rene, to Isaac to Amelia. I can even guess what happens with Misty. I think this way of getting people to buy books is a cheap truck. I've read other books by Grace Meyers and none of them were broken up like this, so I'm sure using this cheap trick was done by the publisher thinking that they could get more money chopping a whole novel into five or six parts they could charge foe...disgusting ploy!

Some things are coming clear but trouble is coming

Rene and Misty have going to stay in Florida longer and hope to find the answer to the letter. Meanwhike , Misty is spending time with Bernard and Rene is spending time with Isaac and his daughter Amelia. But they are getting no closer to the mystery. Then Rene has a dream and needs to talk to Isaac, but trouble is in the lobby. Misty comes into there room and announces someone is in the lobby to see Rene. What could this visitor want?

After an allergic reaction scare by Isaac’s daughter, Rene is still on a mission to find out why the Garcia sisters have been getting money from her parents. Misty and Rene agree to stay longer in Siesta Key to hopefully get answers. After an enjoyable afternoon getting close to Isaac again someone shows up looking for Rene. Who could this be?
Thank you to the author for the ARC. This review is my own opinion.

Rene and Isaac spend time together following Amelia’s hospital stay. Amelia has had an allergic reaction to something, puzzling the family. It seems both of them are harboring secrets from the past. Rene needs more time to uncover the truth about the mysterious letter.

What will happen when Rene reveals the truth about their past to Isaac?

Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion.

Oh my, this is so good. Renee's parents and her Ex Nigel are a piece of work. How could parents put their lifestyles and/or reputation ahead of their love for their child!! Really paying someone off to marry their daughter, that is low and just evil. I wonder who else they paid to keep secrets from Renee. I cannot wait for book five!
