Charlie Diamond left us wanting more at the end of her first book, Diamond. She’s back in this second installment of The Twelve Horizons of Charlie. We start the book with Charlie standing on the courthouse steps with questions being thrown at her. She doesn’t hesitate to answer, and the crowd only wants more.
We once again dive into the past as Charlie heads to Las Vegas as a new woman, Charlie Ruby. Can she be this person? She has a new hair color, a new ID, and a new attitude. It’s her first time away from her small town in Oregon, and her heart’s still utterly broken after the loss of her husband one year ago. How will she live a new life? How will she laugh? How will she smile? Can she keep her promise to her deceased husband? She doesn’t think so, but her best friend Stephy, the twin sister of her former husband, assures her that she can do anything. She can spread her wings and fly.
We find romance, loss, love, and liberty in this second installment of this exciting new series by Melody Anne. Once we start reading this series, we just can’t put them down.
Charlie Diamond was raised by incredible parents in Prairie Town, Oregon where everyone knows their neighbors and a kid can’t get away with anything. To top that off, her father is the small town’s preacher, making her nearly untouchable. But that doesn’t stop one boy from crossing the line in the sand her father has drawn.
Bentley Lawrence III has also been born and raised in Prairie Town as well. As a matter of fact, he’s from four generations back, and his family owns a huge ranch, and logging land that employees most of the town.
Bentley’s twin sister, Stephanie Lawrence is best friends with Charlie, and somewhere between kindergarten and high school Bentley has fallen madly in love with Charlie. Sometimes, though, love just isn’t enough, not when unbearable tragedy hits when that seems an insufferable possibility.
When Charlie’s world falls out from beneath her, a deathbed promise, and a loving best friend, sends Charlie on a whirlwind to find herself and live the dreams she promised Bentley she’d live.
Come join Charlie as she races around the world to live the dreams of her, Bentley, and Stephanie as she becomes a new person with each new location she comes to until she finds who she was always meant to be.

After her bestie's suggestion of reinventing herself. We are introduced to Ruby - Las Vegas showgirl.
Stephy is the best friend every girl needs. I’m glad she’s been pushing Charlie to live. I was going to say live more but Charlie has only been existing.
She meets Warren and you can feel the attraction. She’s resistant but luckily Stephy has paid a visit and is on Warren’s side. Warren is an absolute darling, very sweet man.
I loved this installment. Warren was critical in helping her break free of her sadness.
First of all I would like to say this author has out done herself. Melody Anne, I absolutely loved your stories! Charlie continues to search for her life. She goes off to Las Vegas, Nevada with a new name and a new job. She is sing and dancing in her new job until she has accident and hits her head. She Mets a man called Warren, has no interest in him, but he wants her, she tells him that she won't spend the night with him unless she is married. After the accident she went to the hospital. She couldn't remember who she was, doctors told her she had amnesia. Strong was there visiting during this time. She left the hospital thinking she was getting married to Warren. She is still on the witness stand telling her amazing story about her life with Warren. The day she woke up she knew she should not be married to Warren. She took her things and left Las Vegas forever. Returning to Bentleys grave to tell him she missed him. She told him she was off to New Orleans for another adventure. This book was sad, happy and fun to read. I enjoy read the book and I can't wait to see what happens next! Definitely delicious in every way. ENJOY

This saga is heart wrenching, beautiful, and so full of love! I loved the surprise I'm the courtroom! I know Charlie did as well! However, I am dying here! Charlie put it appropriately when she called it the soap opera. While I have never been a "soap" fan, I am definitely a Charlie Addict! I want to immediately find out what's next, and I am dying here! Wow! Cannot wait for the next installment of Charlie! Sooooooo ... NEXT ... !!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m really enjoying this series so far, each book needs to be read in order. Charlie feels broken and is trying to live life to the fullest. She’s already had her one great love (Bentley). The court trial continues and we get to know what happened with her and Warren. It’s rather cool that these men so far have no I’ll thoughts of her. Can’t wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this series.
As we take this journey with Charlie, I can feel all her emotions. Can't wait for the end of the series to see how it all turns out, but that will be awhile. Ready for Charlie Sapphire!
This is another hit series for Melody Anne. If we could all find out journey and how to find ourselves after a loss of a loved one. I really loved Warren and hoping that Charlie does go back to him in the end.
Again, Melody takes us on the journey with Charlie Ruby this time, and wows us with a story that will have you swooning for Warren, and just loving this whole story line! This so far has got to be the best series I've been reading yet this year! 5 charlie stars for this one!
Melody Anne is a genius ! This storyline is , so far , totally different than anything I have ever read before ! And I know I said that in the review of the first book . But it's true . I am going right into the third book now !! Fantastic book !
The second book in the series of 12. It is well written and brilliant book and I am totally sucked in. It is a good follow up to book one. Totally recommend
I didn't comment on the first book because with a series I feel I need the whole story. I might not commet on any of the others, but for now I am enjoying the journey.
