Fresh Fiction Review

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.

SUMMARY

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....
