Author is really good. Love her books.
I started with the first book and just kept going. I’m a sucker for books that continue the story with related characters. That being said, each book also stands alone.
Loved it!
I really enjoyed this book. Romantic but not so sexual it was unrealistic. I love sports so any football story gets my attention. I cannot wait to read the rest of the characters in this series. It was such a fun book and I felt like I got to know every one of the future characters. It is a light enjoyable read.

Good read!
Traded by Tess Thompson was fantastic. Kara has run away to Cliffside Bay. Now in witness protection, she is starting her life over. Brody is a Super Bowl winning quarter back. The sleepy little town if Cliffside Bay is his home. After Kara secures a job taking care of Brody’s mom and housekeeper, he welcomes Kara and all her secrets into his home, the inner circle of his friends and his heart. Tess Thompson has created amazing characters in the first book of this amazing series. I can’t wait to read more about each and every one of them.
I really enjoyed these characters
This is the first book I’ve ever read by this author & I absolutely loved it! The characters are well developed. There’s more than one story line. Cliffside Bay sounds like a place I would love to live or even visit.
Kara is a nurse practitioner. She finds herself witnessing something that can’t be overlooked, and doing the right thing means leaving everything and everyone behind. She’s relocated to Cliffside Bay. A city in California that isn’t on the map. With a new name, a rehearsed backstory and her life on the line, Kara is determined to live her life as far under the radar as possible.
Brody, best quarterback in the league, had just won the super bowl. That moment was bittersweet for him, his Dad would have been so proud, he lost him 2years prior. Brody doesn’t have much time to celebrate his win, he has to head home to care for his mother, who broke her leg, and his housekeeper Flora (who is like his 2nd mother), was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Brody needs to hire a nurse and Kara happens to be looking for a job. It’s a employer-employee, friend to lovers, sweet, slow burn with a lot of football innuendos along the way. Welcome to Cliffside Bay!
