Visit Siren Cove, Oregon, for gorgeous beaches, miles of hiking, delightful small-town shops—and a dark side none of its residents could have possibly imagined . . . Leah Grayson has lived in Siren Cove all her life. It’s where she buried a time capsule with her fifth-grade class. Where she spent an unforgettable night on the beach with her first love. Where she married then divorced her rotten … divorced her rotten ex.
But there’s something ugly going on in her pretty little town. When Leah organizes a reunion for her fifth-grade classmates to open their time capsule, they discover a roll of film no one remembers saving. Afterward, strange incidents begin happening. Warnings. Accidents. Random acts of vandalism.
Luckily, her first love is back in town, too. Ryan Alexander has made it big with a wildly popular social media startup, but he’s still the same sweet, cynical man she fell for all those years ago. And the chemistry they felt as teenagers is as strong as ever.
A nostalgic fling turns deadly when someone is convinced Leah has the key to secrets long buried. With no way to know whom they can trust, Leah and Ryan will have to seek out the answers themselves . . .

This was my first book by this author and a great place to start with her new Siren Cove romantic suspense series. I’m a sucker for starcrossed love and second chances and I must say I wasn’t disappointed with this book. Ryan and Leah dealt with some great villains to solve a decades old murder. With so many potential suspects, trying to figure out who-done-it constantly changed so the storyline completely held my attention until the ominious conclusion. The cast of characters, all flawed and a bit eccentric, added an enjoyable touch of humor to a very suspenseful story. The happily ever after was completely satisfying!
When a fifth-grade class buried a time capsule twenty years ago, a villain slipped in a roll of film, certain it wouldn’t see the light of day again. Enter Leah Grayson, a fifth-grade teacher who is gathering her old classmates to dig up the time capsule, replacing it with a new one her students have filled with memories. Ryan, an old flame, will attend the big dig, a man she rejected by marrying Brock. Now divorced and wiser, Leah sees Ryan as an accomplished, mature man, enormously appealing. She stumbles into danger, not realizing the innocuous roll of film she finds in the capsule is proof of violence in her town. A wonderful page-turner with a heartwarming second chance romance. Gallant will surprise you with twists and turns…and the identity of evil forces in Buried Truth.
I’m a fan of Jannine Gallant and she didn’t let me down with Buried Truth. The whole premise sucked me in. I remember burying a time capsule in grade school. The surprise that awaits in this one and the danger and suspense matched the romance Ms. Gallant spun. The setting roped me in too as she did a great job of putting us into a small town. Lovers of romantic suspense will enjoy this story!
Buried Truth by Jannine Gallant
Siren Cove #1
Romantic suspense with a second chance at love for Leah Grayson and Ryan Alexander was a fun book to read…I stayed up late eager to see how the book would end. I enjoyed this introduction to Siren Cove and wonder who will have their story told next.
Leah and Ryan were high school sweethearts who broke up after high school because Leah thought they were too dissimilar to make it for the long haul. Ryan has moved on from being the nerdy geek to a rather hunky wealthy young man while Leah is a fifth grade teacher that is a bit more of a hippy throwback than a modern woman. When Leah’s class digs up a time capsule from twenty years ago someone desperately wants to retrieve what was hidden inside it as it holds incriminating evidence that must not get out. With a class reunion, desperate people wanting what Leah has and willing to do anything to get it and Ryan and Leah getting back together this is an action-packed story. I really liked Leah’s grandmother – what a pip!
I am eager to read the next book in the series and want to thank NetGalley and Kensington Book-Lyrical Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
