Near the rugged Australian coastline beaten by the winds of the wild, great Southern Ocean sits a forgotten stationmaster's cottage holding secrets of a tragic love story.

These are secrets Christie Ryan knows nothing about when she unexpectedly inherits her estranged grandmother's cottage in the small seaside town of Rivers End. There, Christie finds love letters that have remained unopened for close to 50 years. The letters tell of a great-aunt she never knew existed and a love so powerful that Christie becomes determined to uncover what kept the young couple apart.

Her quest leads her to the door of reclusive local artist Martin, who Christie is convinced holds the key to the questions she seeks to answer. But Martin is wary of the newcomer and has important reasons for keeping Christie at arm's length.

As the search continues, Christie realizes uncovering her family's past may help her discover the truth of who she really is. But before the decades old mystery can be solved, Christie will be faced with deciding what it truly means to love someone.

Includes Taming the Wind, a bonus prequel novella from the Rivers End series.

I think my “title” says it all. I couldn’t stop listening. Who says you can’t enjoy something clean?! You know what I mean…A very good read; I just might have to get a hard copy for my collection.

It was a great free listen. Loved the Australian setting and the mystery. Not as predictable as it could have been.

Nice listen.

Descriptively fleshed out characters and a mystery with many facets. Betrayal and heartache. Nicely tied together plot with breath held until the ending. I enjoyed every minute of this twisting tale!

Lovely Contemporary Mystery and Love

I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit thin in places, but it was a compelling mystery wrapped in a love story. Most of the characters aren’t well developed, but the scenery is descriptive and I felt like I was actually in that little seaside town with a close and quirky community. This book was the first in a series and it was included with membership. I’m sure I’ll be forking over the credits to continue with books 2 and 3. While I’m satisfied with the “ending”, it feels more like a pause because the break occurred too abruptly and it doesn’t feel complete . It’s probably one of those “series” that is essentially one book split into parts, so instead of one credit for one book, it will actually cost me two. The first hook is free, and I’m a sucker and have been reeled in.

Hooked!

I enjoyed the story. I was happy with the outcome of love and sad for the hidden secrets for so long.

A found love

Really good story of love, betrayal, selfishness, mystery and redemption. So glad Christie was true to herself. I see Derek raising his ugly head somewhere in another book maybe.

Mystery, humor and romance

This was such a good book! No bad language or sex scenes.

There were times that my heart ached to know the truth of what really happened. It's the perfect mix of mystery and romance.

It does stink that only this book is free, you must purchase the next two in the series but I loved this book so much, I'm about to.

Loved It!
