Secrets at Cedar Cabin

GIVEAWAY
COBLE, COLLEEN
SECRETS AT CEDAR CABIN

Her mother lied about her identity and her husband wasn't who she thought he was -- can Bailey even trust herself anymore?

Running for her life in the wake of her mother's murder, Bailey Fleming escapes to the only place she can think of -- remote, dilapidated cabin in Lavender Tides. Intending to finally get to the truth behind the lies of her past, Bailey only finds more questions when bodies are discovered near her cabin hideout along with traces of a dangerous human trafficking ring. In an unlikely partnership with FBI agent Lance Phoenix, Bailey races to understand the mystery surrounding her life and circumstances before the murderer tracks her down.

Meanwhile, Lance is determined to rescue his sister, Ava, who was abducted after running away from home as a teenager. An unexpected lead brings him to the remote cabin, and he wonders if Bailey -- with her suspicious past and strange connections to his sister's case -- is really who she claims to be  and if she can somehow lead him to Ava.

My Review:

Whoa -- my head is still spinning after listening to this one! (I borrowed the audible version from my library.) You have to stay alert for this heart-stopping romantic suspense. The plot is so twisty-turny and there are so many nuances to the suspense. I about jumped out of my skin a time or two. And screamed myself hoarse -- in terror, with warnings, or just in plain frustration. Friendly listener tip -- if you scream too loudly while listening to an audio book you tend to miss some important bits. :-)

Secrets of Cedar Cabin might just be my favourite book by Colleen Coble. And I love the nod to Rock Harbor! This is the third book in the Lavender Tides series. You can totally read it as a standalone BUT if you have been following the series you will be over-the-moon-crazy-silly-in-ecstasy over how the author has included characters from the other books in this one. Excellent series wrap-up.

While this is Bailey's story, Shauna and Ellie play an integral part in the plot. That means three heroines with grit and determination and a kick-butt attitude. Plus a few more secondary female characters add to the overall adrenaline rush -- especially in one particular cheer-yourself-hoarse scene. Girl power all the way!

Amazing read from start to finish!

  2. I missed this one so am having to play catch up! I feel terrible if I miss one of Colleen Coble's books. She's been one of my faves for years! I think she has another coming out at the end of the year. She writes them so fast I can't keep up!

    1. Yes she does. Strands of Truth - Sept 10! A different cover for her and I really love it!

    2. Ooohhhh -- yes Strands of Truth looks really good. I agree, new cover look too though I've seen a few upcoming releases with that look too so must be a new trend. Good luck, Diana!

  4. My interest was piqued by your comment that this might be your favorite of hers. I read much more historical than suspense, but I was impressed by the two books of Colleen's that I read. Thanks!

  25. I haven't read anything by Colleen in a long time. I don't normally listen to audiobooks, but I think listening to a mystery/suspense on audio book might be interesting!
