Goodreads synopsis: Kate Adams had no idea she was carrying counterfeit money, and she can't believe that it came from her sweet neighbor. Or that it lands her in the middle of another one of Detective Tom Parker's investigations. Determined to prove her neighbor's innocence, Kate stumbles into a pit of intrigue that is far deeper than a two-bit counterfeit operation--and strikes too close to home for comfort. As family secrets come to light, her world--and her budding romance with Tom--begin to crumble. To Kate, it's clear that she won't be safe until she uncovers all of Port Aster's secrets. But is it too late for her and Tom? 

I was expecting more from this book. I am not sure why. I have never read this author before. There was a funny find/change error in this book. Every word that had an ff or ffi had those letters missing. And since Tom was an officer it always came out looking like o cer when I would read it. I know this is an advanced copy and not the final version but I hope this was corrected in the final draft that was published.

There was a bit of an amateurish feel to this book. Some things resolved fast while others were drug out at nauseam. And I swear there was a Scooby-Doo villain moment when the bad guy said something to the effect that he would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for that basted nosy girl. lol!

I am not sure if this was marketed as a Christian book but there weren't really that many instances where they referred to God or how they were trusting in God to help them through their situation.

All in all, I thought it was an okay read. Not sure I would recommend this to anyone as the two main characters never really connected in any tangible or emotional way.

3 Stars.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from Net Galley in return for an honest review. I thank Net Galley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to read this title.
