The storyline was great. The author took us back and forth between the two main relationships and time to tell the whole story, which created nice depth to both stories. It added nice depth to the characters as well as you learned things that happened before and during their youth and current times.

It was a don't put me down book.I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. Such a beautiful cover, and an engaging story to complement it. I loved the charming coastal setting with the abandoned cottage and little shops run by quirky inhabitants. The story switches between past and present, eventually unraveling the mysterious breakup of two lovers, while setting the stage for a new romance. This is book one of two in the River's End series, but was perfect as a standalone.

With nonfiction credits for specialist canine publications, she finally returned to stories with the release of The Stationmaster’s Cottage, a dual timeline romance, in February 2017.
