RIVER ROAD is a novel set in an idyllic town with some very dirty secrets. At first our main characters, Lucy and Mason seemed awkward (and not just around each other), but as the story progressed they definitely became more human and relatable. The author eases the reader into what happened in the past, the ramifications on present events, and the myriad connections between characters. There is a small cast of shady supporting characters, each with their own agenda and motive (whether hidden or open). Were given plenty of red herrings and false trails to follow, but the pieces all fall into place in an exciting story climax. Once Lucy and Mason opened up, I enjoyed the brewing romance there. I also thought it was intriguing how their lines of work helped them keep their wits about them, especially in scary and/or dangerous situations. If youre looking for a hot sexy romance or a complex thriller, then this book isnt for you. RIVER ROAD is definitely a light romantic suspense story dappled with humor throughout and a sweet happily-ever-after ending.

I had to make myself finish this book. It was very boring and repetitive. Big disappointment. Not one of her better efforts.
