Book Review – In an Instant by Suzanne Redfearn

By 7 Comments

In an Instant
FIRST OFF!!! GO IN BLIND – not even the synopsis – if you’re okay with (and even LOVE) INTENSE, good or bad SURPRISES!!! Even skip over my review altogether and just go read it for an unforgettable story. 😉

This was my selection in this month’s “Amazon First” read that I jumped on due to the recommendations and all of those incredible reviews. The enthusiasm for it, cinched it for me and because of that, I didn’t even read the reviews (or the synopsis). I knew it was a “women’s romance/thriller” and that was good enough for me. I wanted to go in blind, and had no clue what I was in for, and was delighted!! AND!! I got to buddy-read it with my book twin! read more

Esther needs our book help! Oh how I love the “stranded with a stranger in a cabin trope” 😉 Though I do not recognize this one in particular.

There’s tons of detail (including pretty much, how it ends, so I spoiler-alerted for you in case you realize you haven’t read this one either. 😀

She asks:
