Spring brings many wonderful new things to the world. The
trees are budding, the flowers are blooming, baby animals
are being born, and many of my favorite, and I hope your
favorite authors as well are releasing new titles.
What better way to reward yourself for the spring cleaning
of the house or garden than to sit with a new novel that
transports you to another place or perhaps a different
period in time. It is my belief that while SUNSET BAY by
Susan Mallery won't transport you back in time it will take
you to California and into the lives of Greene family,
Megan, the primary character, her sister Leanne, and their
parents, Tina and Gary.
Unfortunately growing up in the Greene home was especially
hard for Megan. She could never live up to her mother's
expectations, and her sister did what she could to get
Megan into trouble with both parents, but especially her
father. When a long hidden secret gets revealed it tears
this already dysfunctional family further apart.
While Megan has a perfect excuse for hiding under her
blanket and escaping reality as her mom often does Megan
instead picks herself up, dusts off, and moves forward
trying to forge a new life. As a reader you can't help but
cheer for her, and hope that she finds her happy ever after.
I have to be honest and say that while I enjoy Ms.
Mallery's writing I had read some books that just did not
work for me and therefore was a tad hesitant in picking up
SUNSET BAY. What I found was a book that simply refused to
let me set it aside. Before I knew what had happened I had
read and read and read and was turning the last page.
Having read SUNSET BAY I'm quite eager for Susan
Mallery's next release because I believe she's at the top
of her game.
What if you got another chance at the life
that got away?
In an emotional story
brimming with wry humor, New York Times bestselling
author Susan Mallery pens a heartwarming tale of love,
family, and a woman's journey of
discovery.
L.A. accountant Megan Greene has a
successful job, a handsome cardiologist fiancé, and a doting
father. Surely they make up for her estranged sister and
hypochondriac mother...and a niggling sense that something,
somewhere, got lost along the way. But then Megan's life
falls spectacularly apart. Faced with the knowledge that
neither her father nor her fiancé are the men she thought
they were, she is loath to trust Travis — the high school
boyfriend who never quite left her heart. But his
reappearance stirs dreams she once reluctantly packed away,
and forces her to confront her relationship with her sister
— a bond that has been strained to the limit but has never
quite broken. And amid the turmoil lies the promise of a
future Megan never expected — one that may turn out to
contain everything she really needs....
