    Summary

    When her husband Richard dies in a freak accident, Shelby Pomeroy is devastated. But his death reveals a horrible truth - Richard was a liar and a cheat. Now Shelby is left with the consequences - huge, terrifying debts and mounting proof that her late husband betrayed her in every conceivable way.  

    Heart-broken but unbowed, Shelby is determined to fix her problems - if only for the sake of her gorgeous little daughter Callie. Returning home to Tennessee and the family she thought she'd lost for ever, she discovers a new sense of strength and freedom. And hope, too, in the handsome form of carpenter Griffin Lott - a straight-dealing man who couldn't lie to her if he tried.  

    But not everyone is thrilled to see Shelby Pomeroy back in town. And when a shocking act of violence is traced back to Richard's shady business, it becomes clear that she is not safe from him, even in death. With her life in danger, Shelby must face the lies of the past - or lose everything.

    I’ve never read a book by Nora Roberts before and was really happy to be given the opportunity to read her newest release.  

    The writing is descriptive and inviting you to read on and on for hours. The setting down in ‘Rendezvous Ridge’ in Tennessee sounded absolutely beautiful and ideallic, everyone was really relaxed, it sounded an amazing place where you could just chill out, especially in the summer months, sitting in a garden or park drinking some iced tea.  

    Shelby is a strong woman who is amazingly resourceful, determined yet sensitive and kind hearted. What she finds out about her recently deceased husband is truly shocking and the shocks don’t stop there. It is astounding hoew she copes with it and speaks volumes for her character that she is so straight headed and up beat about everything, but then she does have Callie to consider, she is a great mother.  

    As Shelby and Callie arrive back down south, there is a welcome back party which sounded so wonderful. Everyone was so wam and friendly, you really felt the atmosphere. 

    Shelby soon meets Griff who is beyond lovely. Charming and handsome but without being cocky. Perfection on a page. I loved how well he go on with Shelby’s young daughter, Callie, their scenes together were some of the best in the book, my favourite being the pizza parlour scene, it was so cute and funny.  

    As mentioned I have never read a book by Nora Roberts, but I will certainly look into her vast back catalogue now! Heart-warming with tension and a fantastic twist at the end, definitely a book you should add to your TBR pile!

    About Me

    My name is Rachel, or Rachale as my husband calls me. I love to read books, it doesn't matter if they're in Hardback, Paperback, Digital or Audio, I love nothing more than absorbing myself in a good book.

    I am also obsessed with Disney, Video Games and Harry Potter. I help host a book club at my most favourite pub (well, currently I'm hosting via Zoom, but hopefully it will be back to the pub some point in the near future) which combines my love of books with the pleasure of a glass of wine or cider while socialising with my friends.
