It has been two years since the death of Merritt Heyward's husband, Cal, when she receives unexpected news - Cal's family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by Cal's reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt. Charting the course of an uncertain life - and feeling guilt from her husband's tragic death - Merritt travels from her home in Maine to Beaufort, where the secrets of Cal's unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff.

A good beach read
Revisado: 12-09-15
This was an enjoyable story. However If I were to critique it from a literary standpoint -characters are superficial and lack of complexity. The plot as well as the conclusion are predictable and generic.
Also as a side note I don't feel that this book reflects a Heroine's journey. Merrit's position at the end of the book is almost accidentally bestowed on her rather than something she sought or faught for. Ironically, in the end she still needs a man to complete her which is interestingly enough the brother of her abusive decreased husband. Hmmmm.....
Not sure what to take away from that - which is why I put it in the beach read category. I'd love to hear a woman's book club discuss it.

On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss's comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago. Liana Dector isn't just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn't quite forget. She's also a dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the police. Suddenly, she's back - and she needs George's help. Ruthless men believe she stole some money…and they will do whatever it takes to get it back.

The girl with a clock for a heart
Revisado: 09-17-15
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This book seemed to follow a fairly predictable course and character introduction and development. What I feel was lacking was more character development from Leanna.
More questions are left unanswered then answered laying the also predictable foundation for a sequel- or trilogy.
The book was captivating and interesting but then strayed just enough into implausible to make this book less enjoyable. Instead of identifying with the main characters strife the reader is left a bit mystified at his purely emotionally driven decisions. This naïveté is hard for the reader to identify with after a while. In part one feels he deserves all bad things and more for being such a love starved puppy. I would have enjoyed seeing a bit more grit in his character development.
However fabulous first book for this author.
