Book Description:
After uprooting her life in the States, Irene Steele has just settled in at the villa on St. John where her husband Russ had been living a double life. But a visit from the FBI shakes her foundations, and Irene once again learns just how little she knew about the man she loved.
With help from their friends, Irene and her sons set up their lives while evidence mounts that the helicopter crash that killed Russ may not have been an accident. Meanwhile, the island watches this drama unfold—including the driver of a Jeep with tinted windows who seems to be shadowing the Steele family.
As a storm gathers strength in the Atlantic, surprises are in store for the Steeles: help from a mysterious source, and a new beginning in the paradise that has become their home. At last all will be revealed about the secrets and lies that brought Irene and her sons to St. John—and the truth that transformed them all.
Thoughts:
I loved this series, but felt slightly disappointed by this last book. It felt rushed and towards the end and switched from the drama around the Steele Family, to a hurricane hitting and how it’s going to affect the island. I wanted more around the details of each Steele member and the final decisions s/he made around their respective love lives. I would have loved this book split into two so that it wasn’t as rushed and then a book on the hurricane coming, it’s arrival, and then the aftermath. It would have felt more complete as I enjoyed the character development throughout these novels and, clearly, wanted more! 😆 I got the answers I was looking for and didn’t feel there were a lot of loose ends, so I appreciated that.
This was a hard book to rate, as I got what I was looking for going into this but, as stated above, wanted more! I always enjoy a Hilderbrand novel, as it is always the perfect escape and a fast read. I still recommend this series and enjoyed this book. Definitely worth a read.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
