Every Once in a Blue Moon Your Heart Waits at a Crossroads.
For Seattle architect Heather
Hampton, a trip back to tiny Moses Lake, Texas, is hardly in the plan.
Yet because a promotion hinges on the sale of the family farmland,
Heather heads to the last place she ever wanted to go. She's determined
to return home, signed contract in hand, the next day.
But the currents of Moses Lake
take visitors on unexpected journeys. As Heather's stay lengthens, she
discovers a family steeped in secrets and an unexpected connection to
local banker Blaine Underhill, despite his opposition to Heather's
project. With each new revelation and question, Heather can't help but
wonder if the handsome banker—and the family she has come to know
again—are crooks or crusaders. Somehow she must find out the truth
before she loses everything she has worked for and everything she's
found on the shores of Moses Lake.
I really ended up liking Blue Moon Bay. It was something a little different than what I usually read... it had some suspense and a little mystery, but thankfully there was also a love story. :) There were some depressing undertones at the beginning of the book, as the main character is trapped in a life where she is glued to her job and gets her satisfaction from her lifestyle... where she lives, what she wears, etc. For her job, she has to go back to a town she hates, where she spent a year of her life in high school and where terrible tragedy had fallen on her family. She is dreading the trip back, and everyone seems to be keeping secrets once she gets there.
Overall I enjoyed this book. It definitely got good near the end, even though I wasn't positive it was going to! It was a freebie for me, and I'm glad that I ended up reading it. It turned out to be a really good book!
