Who doesn't like a book title that just kind of grabs your attention? Add an author that has so many books under her belt that have been best sellers and you have my attention.
I was in a funk with my reading preferences and needed a change of pace!
While I love reading, lately my personal life has made sitting and reading a wish that was not going to come true. But, and here's the truth, I needed something to lift me out of the dark places that I was in.
A good story with characters that have grown and changed with all the curve balls life can sometimes throw at you, was what I needed!
Fern Michaels hit all of these points for me with her first book in the Twin Lights Series, Smuggler's Cove!
Madison and Lincoln are living a good life filled with every good thing you could think of. Their mother has sheltered them most of their lives even though they are privileged, they are not your typical spoiled rich kids. This works in their favor when their father is arrested and jailed for insider trading and fraud. Madison uses her keen sense of style to carve out a path in the fashion world as an editor for La Femme magazine. Her younger brother Lincoln goes into wealth management with a keen eye to doing the "right" things with money! Especially after witnessing the mayhem and hatred people had after his father's arrest and conviction.
Madison and Linc have left the past behind and worked hard to shed themselves of their father's image. Both change their names and go on to be very successful in their new reality. It wasn't easy, but both of them are happy with the work ethics and their lives as they work hard to be anything opposite to what their father was.
They now learn that their uncle (their dad's brother) has passed away and left them the marina at Smuggler's Cove.
Madison and Linc are hoping for a beautiful place that they can quickly sell and divest themselves of this marina. Neither one of them knows anything about fishing, clamming or anything else to do with boats. This is out of their scope of knowledge and selling it seems to be the right thing to do. That was until they arrived at the marina to find a dilapidated dock, some fishing boats and not much else.
Now I've set the background for you and it's time for you to get the book and read what happens next! Let's just say that all their plans are turned upside down and with it their lives will take a whole new direction. You will enjoy finding out all the ins and outs that Madison and Linc navigate as they make decisions that will have some lasting effects.
Smuggler's Cove is a great story that will have you turning pages to find out all the comings and goings in a little place on the Navesink River!
You have to mark your calendars for Smuggler's Cove as it will be released in August of this year. I was given the pleasure of a sneak preview of this book through my NetGalley membership!
