📚 Review ~ My Sister's Grave

📚 Tracy Crosswhite Book 1

🖋 Author ~ Robert Dugoni

🎧 Narrator ~ Emily Sutton-Smith

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Mystery, Police Procedural

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tracy Crosswhite Series

Tracy has spent 20 years questioning the facts surrounding her sister Sarah’s disappearance and the murder trial that followed. I was immediately captivated by the story of Tracy and her family, hanging on every clue and turn as Tracy is drawn back to her hometown. Emily's voice and narration is intimate, poignant in the way she leads us through Sarah's final moments. 

A missing sister and the need to follow the evidence to its conclusion, Tracy leaves her job as a chemistry teacher and becomes a police officer. Moving up into the ranks of detective, she has never given up on finding out what happened to her sister Sarah. Now with the recent discovery of Sarah’s remains, Tracy may finally have the final pieces to figure out who is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of her sister and the pervasive lies that tore her family and hometown apart.

Tracy and her childhood friend, Dan, who is now a lawyer, will inadvertently step into the path of a killer as they uncover the 20-year-old truth of what happened to Sarah.

📚 Review ~ Faking the Shot

📚 Golden Meadow Polo Series #1

🖋 Author ~ Jolie Dunn Author

🖋 Genre: Small Town Romance, Sports Romance, Polo Romance, Friends to Lovers Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maggie and Jack

He always knew his life would change. He just never thought she would be the reason.

This is the first time I’ve tried Jolie Dunn. And, Faking the Shot was a wonderful read! I have never read a book that includes Polo. But I’m glad I picked this as my first one. Jolie did a seamless job of weaving the intricacies of the sport with the storyline. Beyond that, her characters felt real.

Maggie and Jack are friends from childhood, so it is no surprise that benefits would eventually follow. And, Maggie’s surprise pregnancy isn’t a surprise either because friends with benefits usually aren’t foolproof. What is a beautiful surprise is the journey that both Maggie and Jack take to find their happiness together. 

The fear, the uncertainty in their futures, the brave way these two come together, devoting themselves to a fresh start and a commitment to be the best parents despite their childhood examples, is at first commendable. Their initial obligation to their baby, of course, is not necessarily to each other, yet though Jack is careful with Maggie, making sure that she and the baby have what they need. 

Once Jack and Maggie got their footing, I enjoyed seeing them grow into each other as well as discovering the best parts of themselves. At times, it was wrenching as they separately experienced the fear and panic of not only becoming parents, but coming to the realization that they are not their parents, and that they truly do love and trust one another.
