A MUST-READ epic ROMANCE extraordinaire!!
Emily Thompson, although made of figment and paper mâché, is one of the strongest people I know. After five marvelous reads centered on her adult life and choices, and at least three other novels that allowed readers a vision of Emily in her youth, I feel bereft as I read this last novel in Summer Cooper’s Thompson Hotel Series. Emily is the type of woman who knows her mind, heart, and strength. She loved her father enough to lie to her brothers. She loved her brothers and sisters-in-love enough to selflessly give of her time and attention, even when they showed no appreciation for it. Emily continued to love Dylan even when he saw himself as unlovable. Then she found the strength to reveal her secrets, well most of them anyway, and knew she had acted rightly even when it seemed that she would forfeit both Dylan and her family. Emily has given her all, tried to put others first, make the right decisions, and now fears that it may not be enough. Yet, she continues to give . . . ‘cause that’s the way she is wired. Author Summer Cooper wraps up this series – years in the making – with the most remarkable “love conquers all” statement ever! With her eloquently descriptive yet easy to read prose, Cooper has woven a web of reality around the Thompson family and invited her readers along for the ride. “DARK TRUTH” is the one novel that romance readers, whether they have read the other novels in the series or not, NEED TO READ! The story is compelling, complex and full of the perfectly timed, sensuous, and STEAMY love scenes that Cooper’s fans have come to expect with every novel she publishes. Yet, “DARK TRUTH” holds a special place because, within its pages, Cooper wraps everything up, delivers the most remarkable conclusion I’ve ever read, and left me both satisfied and hoping there will be some kind of reunion cruise with the Thompson clan somewhere in the near future. I volunteered to read an early copy of “DARK TRUTH” and this is my voluntary and HONEST review. I have already my copy on pre-order (have to support the writers I like) and plan to put it into the FAVORITES collection on my Kindle. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase your copy of “DARK TRUTH” today! Happy pages!
There were some very sweet parts to this finale and a very happy ending but there were some things left unknown like what happened to the club? It was also a little too neat with regards to her family, but all in all it was a sexy story and a fitting conclusion to the series.
