TBR...Maybe

 

The re-release of an e-book in book form, making the rounds again. It seems Hoover is the queen of a Sad Girl's summer. She is one of those of women's fiction that many are waiting to read (at least at our library. Also, dunno if they are being read in the bathtub or with a pouty doggie, but her books get damaged a lot. Peeps are always waiting endlessly to read her work!)

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.

Not gonna lie, I  have a bit of a love/hate relationship with her books. I love the beginnings but somewhere along the way I feel she slips in some preachy vibes I'm not always down with. But it's the twist and turns and fixes these characters get in too that keep me turning the page. Although, some of her characters are more real than others. But then again, she probably has to write for her editors and publishers too. And I have a feeling this is her calling and she's gonna keep her fans wrapped around her little finger.
