Description
In this stirring new novel, acclaimed #1 New York Times
bestselling author Fern Michaels delves into the remarkable ways in
which moments of crises can lead to our greatest acts of courage . . .
When Carol Ann “CJ” Jansen lost her beloved older brother, Kick, in a boating accident, she came adrift. Kick had taken on the role of caring for his little sister after their parents were killed in a car crash. Inheriting half his fortune has left CJ financially secure—yet needing a purpose. As administrative assistant to powerful congressman Snapper Lewis, she’s immersed herself in the exciting and often tumultuous world of politics.
But suddenly, the career that anchors her life is threatened. CJ stumbles upon information that could implicate her boss in corruption. When the congressman dies of an apparent suicide, the closer CJ gets to uncovering the truth, exposing one shocking secret after another, the more she wonders if she’s also in jeopardy.
Moving to a small New England town for her own protection, CJ gradually begins to engage with her new surroundings. Her blossoming friendship with the owner of a charter fishing boat offers the promise of much more. But before she can claim happiness, CJ must navigate a course through all her doubts and fears, and trust that this time, the water that took so much from her might just lead her safely home . . . AMAZON 3.5 STARS
I like Fern Michael's as an author. But I also find that I either love the books that she has written or they fall in the middle for me. What I mean is that while I don't hate them they are just okay. That's where this one fell for me. Even though CJ was a good enough main character and her deceased brother's long- time lover Colin was good also. They had each others backs even after her brother "Kick" died. Colin is there for her once again as she pulls him into the mystery that SHE gets pulled into.
There was plenty of mystery, action and danger to the story. But sad to say it just really didn't grab me. Even with the twists and turns I still wish I had liked it more.
It has a good Epilogue with one more unexpected twist in that part as well.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
