I loved the story, which moved me to tears on more than one occasion, and am looking forward to reading more in this fabulous series.
What a beautifully romantic story. The characters were wonderful and I look forward to reading more.

Loved this book- a great read that cannot be put down!!!!!!!
Loved this book. It’s romance, mystery and family saga with engaging characters and an interesting setting.
page turner
This read like a Hallmark movie. It was a fast read, with a predictable ending, but nonetheless enjoyable.
I loved this romantic suspense mystery by Phillipa Nefri Clark. This is the first book by her that I have read and it won’t be my last. I was pulled into the story at the beginning and with the HEA ending I was hooked and want to read more of her books. Christie, the main character, inherits a small cottage in River’s End when her grandmother dies. She was also left with a mystery to solve about a great aunt she had never met. It was a mystery about love and betrayal and many wasted years. In trying to solve the mystery, Christie finds her true love also. The ending is perfect. I highly recommend this book.
Sweet story about love and loss.
This book was amazing!! I absolutely loved this book!! A real page turner, I could not out it down. The characters and the story were amazing. I would recommend this book to everyone!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. When it ended I wanted to know the “rest of the story” of the characters so much that I purchased the next book in the series.
I liked this so well, I am going on and read Jasmine Sea also!! I was not ready for it to end!
I couldn’t wait to find out the secrets. I liked that I kept guessing. I especially liked the line, “that lovely person inside” even if we have flaws. Great love story.
Covers several generations. Romantic without being too sentimental.
A series of miscommunications forever altered the lives of a pair of young lovers. The death of a young woman’s relative leads her to discoveries about herself and her family. Her relentless search for answers changes everything.
A little predictable, but still a joy to read.
Unlikely but predictable plot. An easy, mindless read.
