Before the Storm

Rarity Cove, Book 1

By: Leslie Tentler

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

When she closed her eyes, she was back in that apartment again - shivering, shards of glass around her, her hands stained with blood...

Six years earlier, Trina Grissom disappeared, on the run for her life. Now living under an assumed identity - as Samantha Marsh - she still struggles with the dark secret she harbors and the fear she might one day be found. When she moves to the coastal town of Rarity Cove, South Carolina, to open a cafe, a handsome widower begins to chip away at the walls she's built to protect herself.

Mark St. Clair lost his wife two years ago in a tragic accident. Head of the grand St. Clair resort, he distracts himself from his lingering grief by running the family business and caring for his troubled young daughter...until a beautiful restaurateur sets up shop in town.

As Samantha and Mark begin a hesitant courtship, double perils emerge. Someone from Samantha's lurid past comes calling, threatening to expose her. And a powerful hurricane is forming in the Atlantic with the small beach town in its path. Trapped in the storm by the brutal man who wants vengeance on Samantha, she and Mark must fight for their lives.

Overdone accent

I did not love the narration. I’m from the rural south. I have an accent. It’s one thing for the characters to have accents but another for, even when the characters are not speaking, every “ing” word to end in -in’.

this book

I didn't love it. It was slow and not much action to keep your attention.

The relationship between Emily and Sam

I haven’t cried from a book ever but darn it I bawled. Emily is such a great support character.

i rely like it!

it's mi first coment i've made in audible so imagine how much i enjoyed it!

Great Book
