Our resident “betrayal and redemption” trope lover is back!! Margie just finished both in this series & she loved them!
She says:
Ivy Myst: Sam’s Secret (Book 2/3 of Willowbrook Book series). This came out December 30, 2025.
Welcome back to Willowbrook, another tale of angst, and some of our favorite characters from Book 1.
This author has a special skill in creating her characters, particularly the evil OWs, and this book certainly has one. Another book to binge with tissues for the finale…and there will be a third book in the series to look forward to…there’s a teaser at the very end of the book…and hopefully more books.
The main tropes are:
– A potentially devastating overheard phone conversation
– A strong FMC with a devastating past romantic betrayal
– Her partner, the MMC, faced with surprising news about an illegitimate child from a fling years ago
– The child’s mom, a manipulative dishonest OW, who shows purposefully scheming to wreak havoc in their lives and relationship
– Another example of the need for good and timely communications between partners
– Supportive friends
– A very HEA
