Twenty year old college student, Emma Beckett and her family
are taking a break in New Hampshire after a vicious attack on a family member in
New York City. They need a place to feel safe and heal.
When Emma meets glass artist, Charlie Campbell, sparks begin
to fly between them. But given Charlie’s colorful past and her reluctance to
have a steady relationship, plus Emma’s past history, their fledgling romance is
struggling to ignite.
Just as Emma and Charlie are beginning to relax and love is
smoldering between them, a deep dark family secret rears its ugly head. It’s not
only Emma and Charlie’s relationship that is threatened, but also Emma’s
relationship with her family.
Will Emma and Charlie’s love be strong enough to survive in
the face of adversity? Does love or should love have the ability to heal and
conquer all?
This is the second book I’ve read by this author. I liked the
first very much. On the whole, the book is well written.
The characters are multidimensional and the deep dark family secrets are well
portrayed. I have to say, that I enjoyed the storyline in this book and
liked the characters very much to begin with. But as the book progressed, alarm
bells began to ring for me. The storyline seemed to be going off on a tangent
that I neither liked or can condone. At this stage, I hoped I was wrong. (It
wouldn’t be the first time)! Unfortunately, once I got to near the end of the
book, I found my fears were realized.
The ending is controversial and may not be liked by all.
