Lies and Solace

 She can’t live with one more lie. He can’t tell the truth.

About the Book:  Harper Lindquist is convinced she’s found the answer to her financial prayers. Unless she pours cash into crumbling Solace Lake Lodge, she’ll lose her family’s legacy. Her would-be savior arrives in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard, and she’s determined to prove to her reluctant, and trapped, financier the lodge is a sound investment. But Harper isn’t completely honest with him. And she has no idea the lake is hiding secrets of its own.

Ethan James is a liar, but his money is very real. He isn’t convinced a broken-down inn is a smart investment opportunity. But the more he understands Harper’s dreams and desires, the more he wants to be the man to make them come true. The trauma in both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other. They must find the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s sorrows will keep them apart.

Our Review: As with any story offered by the talented Jana Richards, all too human fears and frailties take a large role, offering readers a spot- on glimpse into the lives of the characters. With Lies and Solace, the long-lasting effects on adult children of alcoholics and those adults left alone as children due to domestic violence are clear and convincing—as well as heart wrenching. This is a series to be cherished.

Based on a scale of 1-5, Lies and Solace merits a 6.
