Publisher's summary
The Harbor Pointe Inn has loomed on California's cliffs for generations of Hawthornes. For some, it's been a blessing. For others, a curse. Travel through two centuries of stories to discover the old inn's secrets.
What's the point of having it all when you have no one to share it with?
Brandon Miller has his dream job, financial security, and he's madly in love. Only one thing is missing—a commitment.
Angela Cooper's ex-husband left her with deep scars, souring her on the concept of marriage. She's not interested in a do-over. Not with Brandon or anyone. Her heart is locked securely away behind a thick wall.
With a ring in his pocket and hope in his heart, Brandon arranges a romantic getaway to the historic Harbor Pointe Inn, where he plans to pop the question.
Before they reach the inn, Angela's got her camera in hand and ghosts on her mind. But they arrive to find a much more tangible horror.
Accident or foul play?
Someone is up to no good, and Angela is the next target. When suspects can be worldly or otherworldly, danger and secrets lurk everywhere.
Poised at the perilous edge of too late, Angela and Brandon face the fight of their lives.

Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,603
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

A Treat for the Senses
Author Jan Sikes never fails to delight. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the supernatural element, but the author did a great job tying everything together. Now I need to go back and read her other books. Highly recommended.

Plenty to savor in this novella
I really enjoyed having a peek into our main characters' relationship and the turning point in it. Author Jan Sikes quickly gave us a clear impression of both Brandon and Angi, and it made me want to know more! THE EDGE OF TOO LATE felt very much like it could have been pulled right out of the center of a full length novel. Readers get plenty to savor with romance, mystery, action, and a bit of the ghostly element.
I rarely listen to audiobooks at regular speed, but narrator Jessine Van Lopik's pacing was perfect, and from a technical standpoint, the recording was flawless. Van Lopik's voicing of Angi is distinct and fits, as was her voicing of the male characters. (I did giggle every time I hear the pet name Brandon used for Angi channeled a most awesome '70s song by the same name that Helen Reddy nailed. I also couldn't help but hear a voice from the Goonies with Angi's pet name for Brandon.) Unfortunately, there were several other characters and situations where the voicing was distracting and took me way out of the story. (The good news is that I listened to an early copy and am told they are working on re-doing some of those parts.)
For now, I'd definitely recommend reading with your eyes, but if you're like me and can't find the time for that, reading with your ears is time well-spent.

A Perfect Listen
Jan Sikes delivered a memorable story of a couple who takes a romantic getaway on the Pacific coast. The descriptions make listeners and readers fall into the story. The Edge of Too Late has relatable characters. Brandon is an innovative, successful online game designer. He’s in love with Angela, who works at a law firm and is passionate about ghost discovery and photography.
Brandon whisks her away to a romantic but historically haunted venue on the edge of the Pacific Ocean near a lighthouse. She wants to capture the ghosts on film, while he wants to make her his wife. Their arrival at the Inn is highlighted by an injured guest whom the owners suggest slipped on the rocky, slippery pathway. Perhaps it's not just the pathway that poses the threats. Brandon’s plans for a proposal are disrupted when Angela gets brutally attacked, and Brandon fears the worst. Ms. Sikes masterfully increases the tension and mystery page-by-page with characters who bear watching to learn whodunit.
Jessine Van Lopik provides a fabulous rendition of The Edge of Too Late audio. The pace is flawless, with perfect pauses to emphasize the drama and mystery surrounding the historic lighthouse. The distinctive characters' voices helped increase the tension as the story unfolded.
Fans of romantic suspense will love the audio rendition of this story. Having previously read the story, the audio felt more exciting to the remarkable, unexpected conclusion. The Edge of Too Late and the Harbor Pointe Series will keep you entertained with this wonderful listen.
