Who Is Emerald Monday?

Return to East Texas #2

by Roz Denny Fox

Those bones are the remains of Frannie Granger, beloved foster mother of Emerald Monday. After Fran's disappearance almost 20 years ago, Emmy was taken from her home in Uncertain, Texas, and placed in foster care elsewhere in the state.

Now Emmy's come full circle, back to Uncertain. She's here because of her foster brother, Jed, who's been accused of Frannie's murder. Wrongly accused...

Emmy has another reason for returning to Uncertain: She's finally decided to investigate the mysterious circumstances of her birth, to find out who her real parents are.

And then there's Riley Gray Wolf... Now a widower with a small child, Riley's the man Emmy has always remembered - and had fantasies about. She's imagined what he'd be like, what he'd look like, as an adult. And she's not disappointed! Riley may be a reason to stay in Uncertain. The most compelling reason of all....

I didn’t finish the book. I picked this up at one of those little free libraries and thought it might be good since it had the label as “super romance.” Spice level 0.5 out of 10, plot was ehh but saw in another review that Emmy still doesn’t know who her parents are by the end of the book. Gave up about 3/4 of the way as it wasn’t as enthralling as it sounded

Series The Return to Caddo Lake Trilogy
Review:

"Uncertain Past" by Roz Denny Fox was one of series in the 'The Return to Caddo Lake Trilogy "Caddo Lake has finally revealed the bones." Emmy has returned to Uncertain, Texas to help with her foster brother who has been accused of murder and "solve another mystery from the past-finding the biological mother who abandoned her." What will happen when Emmy's teenage friend who is now a attorney (Riley Gray) come into the picture. Will these two pick up where they left off many years ago? But as this story continues strange things will happen because "someone wants Emmy to stop asking questions and is willing to threaten not only Riley but his daughter, too." Now, to find out what will happen you must pick up the read "Uncertain Past" to get a well written story and Yes, I would recommend this novel as a good read.
