Romance, Suspense, and Second Chances. Experience Required.

The theme of Marsha’s 10 romantic suspense books is always second chances. She has a four-part series titled The Second Chances Series. She believes in Happily Ever Afters. Her husband picked up a plaque for her on one of their several trips to Maine that states her philosophy exactly. "Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end." The Heroines and Heroes in her books are in their 40s and 50s with their parents and children often playing supporting roles.

Marsha, a retired elementary school principal, is also a former school board member and theatre arts teacher. She lives in Texas with her supportive lawyer husband. Their two daughters presented them with three delightful grandchildren who live nearby. They share their home with Charley, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unlikely Pair for a Love Story
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    5 stars for Ms. West's romantic suspense novel, Act of Trust. She takes her time building the story and characters which I appreciate. The unlikely pairing of a gal from Texas who loves her home and friends with a dedicated lawyer from Maine who loves his state is a difficult story to make readers believe. But the back story is essential to understanding how the sparks fly and then fan into flames of love for the mature couple. Well-written with a satisfying ending.

    4.0 out of 5 stars " As a reader I fell in love with him immediately
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2016

    She Needed to Trust Him
    The heroine Texan, Kate Thompson is a strong, mature woman with a heavy heart. Tormented by the loss of her husband in the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City she hasn't been able to become involved with another man.
    Kate describes the hero, lawyer Jim Donovan as a, "hard-boiled Yankee with a hint of Maine Accent." As a reader I fell in love with him immediately, because he is so honest and caring.
    Kate inherits land in Maine, which she intends to sell. It's the practical thing to do. Jim wants her to sell it to the Maine Coast Conservancy Trust, but they are offering a tenth of the money the realtor who wants to develop the land has offered. Jim convinces her to come with him to see the land before she makes a decision.
    It begins as a tender love story as these two strong characters with opposing goals are drawn together. Sparks fly. But wait, things are not what they seem. I don't want to spoil the story here, but I will say that as the mystery behind Kate's aunt's death becomes clear, the momentum of the story picks up and it becomes a page turner. I rooted for Kate all the way.
    A great read. If you believe in second chances, you'll love this story.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Act of Trust (The Second Chances Series Book 2)
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016

    I thought it was appropriate to write this review of Marsha R. West's novel Act of Trust on the 15th Anniversary of 9/11.

    In this novel the protagonist, Kate Thompson has been grieving for her husband for the past 15 years whom she lost on 9/11. She inherits a parcel of land in Maine from her Aunt Liddy. A land developer, Holland wants to buy this land for condo development. Jim Donovan, an environmentalist visits Kate in Texas and talks her into coming to Maine to see the land before making a decision, hoping that Kate will fall in love with the land and turn it over to the Conservatory Trust. Kate asks her daughter Blair to come to Maine to help her decide. Blair works at the 9/11 Museum in NYC. Kate has never been able to go back to NYC since her husband's death.

    This is the fourth novel by Ms. West that I've read. I always enjoy the mystery aspects of West's novels. This book, like the others, was a page turner with lots of suspense, evil-doings, and twists and turns.
