Hey, Readers! I enjoy all of Staci Troilo’s books and this one is no exception. A Fathomless Affair is the sixth novella in the Harbor Pointe Series.
I’m excited to share my review with you today.
Blurb:
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.
A narcissistic patriarch. A mystical legend. A fathomless affair.
Most people wouldn’t dread a weekend at the historic Harbor Pointe Inn. Lorelei Audley isn’t most people. The fresh sea air, breathtaking vistas, and gourmet meals can’t buoy her spirits. She’s there to coordinate her father’s latest wedding. The bride is a nightmare, yet somehow, the groom is worse. Lorelei steels herself to suffer through a few days of psychological abuse and abject misery.
She’s unprepared for a paranormal encounter, missing persons case, and police investigation.
Not to mention a budding romance.
A lot can happen in a short time, far more if the supernatural is involved. Lorelei has a small window in which to solve some very big problems—problems as numerous as the sands at the foot of the scenic Harbor Pointe cliffs.
My Review:
Family drama, suspense, and a legend are at the forefront in this sixth novella in the Harbor Pointe Series by Staci Troilo.
Lorelei Audley arrives at the Harbor Pointe Inn for the wedding of her father to his third wife. She’s been tasked with planning the wedding of two of the most narcissistic people on the planet—and at her own expense. Troilo’s skill with character development shines, and I found myself empathizing with Lorelei while wanting to strangle her “can’t please” father and his money-grubbing bride-to-be.
All the elements for a miserable weekend for Lorelei. Fortunately, she meets astrology student Porter Bennett who is at the inn to study a comet for his thesis. I loved the hint of romance between the two of them.
The author also weaves in a bit of humor throughout the story that brings a few chuckles and wraps up with a somewhat surprising but satisfying ending.
Comments closed. I apologize for not responding sooner to those of you who commented on my post last week. I had a broken femur, an unexpected hospital stay, and surgical repair. More to come on that, but I’ll be mostly offline for the next couple of weeks.
