River in Darkness
About
She has a terrible secret she’s hiding. A secret no one will ever be ready for. A secret that will change everything, for everyone... forever.
Iris Rydell has her dream job working at Rydell Rides. Her life and future are exactly as she wants them. She’s tough, respected by her co-workers, accepted by her family, and adores being a mechanic. There’s nothing she’s searching for. Until Quinn Larkin, billionaire and city-transplant, shows up in River’s End with his broken-down car that Iris starts to fix. Quinn is immediately intrigued by Iris. She grabs his attention when nothing and no one else does.
Bored out of his mind by his job, his friends, his staff and his money… she’s the first person that’s held his attention for more than a conversation. It’s going to be a quick, fun weekend. They both get this. They both count on that. The problem is… no one’s ever not wanted Quinn before. And for the first time ever… he wants someone and something for far more than a weekend. He has to convince Iris that she wants them to be an “us.” And there is no greater challenge in Quinn’s life than that.
And for a while he succeeds. But when something changes with Iris, no one can figure out what it is. Including Quinn. But the darkness enveloping her is inescapable, and impossible to put words to. Her actions try to convey what happened, but it will take the love of those around her to finally put voice to the un-shareable…
Praise for this book
"What an emotional roller coaster of a journey I have been on in this stunning and incredible new Rivers End book. Words almost fail me as I think back on all the events and action in this story. I loved Quinn, such an interesting character who showed such determination to change and support Iris who was his complete opposite. How would their relationship develop if indeed it could survive as the odds were so against them.
Set against the background that is Rivers End this is a beautifully written story, so full of content and emotion. I was drawn in from start to finish. There are certain scenes which have been written with such skill and empathy that I cried whilst others made me smile. I could feel Iris’ anguish and pain as well as Quinn’s struggle to know love.
This story affected me deeply which to me is a sign of a very talented author and I cannot recommend it too highly. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"When tragedy strikes Iris, will Quinn come through for her? Will he stand by her? You need to read to find out as I really don't want to give too much away. However, I will say that I believe most women would love to have a Quinn in their life. Not because he is rich, but in the way he treats and cares for Iris throughout this book. I love how this author always touches on a subject and brings it to life and how her characters deal with said event. Another great book by Ms. Davis."
"True Love Will Get You Through
***May cause PTSD triggers***
Iris and Quinn are from opposite sides of the track but the pull they have towards each other is undeniable.
Even as I was reading I couldn't believe the words. I cried and cried. So much so I had to put it down and have a good cry. I can usually pull it together, remind myself it's a story but I just fell apart. I had to explain to my husband what was happening. The story is well written, the facts are spot on but the author actually got all the feelings right too."
