When Shadows Linger

by Ashley Winter

Horse-crazy Amelia Meyer has the perfect boyfriend. He’s loving, successful, devastatingly attractive, happy to take things slow, and to top it off - he’s a vet. So why can’t she let herself love him? Is it because of a certain high school sweetheart she’d loved so deeply?

Timothy Heyns has decided to commit his life to his career - fighting crime. Marriage and children aren’t for him. After losing the love of his life so suddenly at seventeen, he won’t be opening himself up to that sort of pain again.

But when Tim sees his old love arrested for a murder she insists she’s innocent of, he cannot do nothing. With danger looming and all the evidence pointing her way, Tim has tough choice to make - further his career or risk losing it to protect the woman he still loves.

Can the two put their private pain aside long enough to solve the mystery and find the murderer? Or will the man pulling the strings find them first?

What an awesome read. This is book 3 in the series. Once you get started you are so emotionally involved with all the characters. It pulls on every heart string and the tears just flow. What a heart warming FANTASTIC series to read.

Ashley has outdone herself with this book. Loved the storyline with a few familiar characters making it interesting and a page turner. Sad to leave the beauty of the fictitious resort as it sounded beautiful. Looking forward to your next series Ashley x

I received an ARC copy from the author. An absolute must read to complete the 3 book series. My emotions were like a roller coaster from tension, to smiling to crying, yet so satisfying as all 3 books got brought together to offer pure joy at the end. Definitely one of Ashley Winters best books to date.

This book touched a deep place in my heart. Ashley Winter is a master at her craft. She has woven a tapestry of beauty with this one. It ties up the loose ends from the first two books beautifully and has many new twists and turns to keep you entertained. I absolutely loved it. Literally couldnt put it down. Bereft now its gone... I shall have to read it again 💕 awesome series! I received an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Oh my heart! What a lovely round up of the previous two books. Chapters filled with tears and laughter, on edge, hold my breath suspense. At one point I had to put the book down because I couldn’t see through the tears!
A beautiful book about how making the right choices doesn’t always feel the best and how love (and forgiveness) covers a multitude of sin. My heart is full.
Please don’t stop writing Ashley!

This book rounds off the Tugela Romance series so beautifully! It is heart warming, romantic and thrilling. It leaves room for more of the family in the future but it can end right here as well. Beautifully written and so full of God's mercy and grace like we have never seen before. I find myself longing for the Drakensberg just thinking about it. I received a copy from the author before publishing. Loved every minute of it. May need to reread just to relive the whole thing!

Mia and Tim's story started nd ended years ago, or so they thought. But sometimes love doesn't just die because you tell it to. Years later she was still trying to get her life together and he thought he had his together they were thrown together in circumstances where she needed him on her side. He realized that he still loved her but will she ever be honest with him about her reasons for ending it? I think this may be my favorite book of the series. Once again, a five star read from one of my favorite authors. I received an ARC copy and am leaving a voluntary review.

The third book in the series has all the answers to the mysteries of the first two books, as well as some unexpected new twists and turns. The suspense in this book had me glued to the pages and had my heart pounding in anticipation of what would happen next. Thoroughly enjoyed this series and would highly recommend it.

I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book, as with the previous 2.
This is the third and last book of this series and Ashley doesn't disappoint. The characters carry over from book to book, so you grow to like/love them.
