Juliet Mitchell is doing just fine. Her career with the Shell Creek Police Department is on track, her son, Declan, is amazing, and for the first time in a long time, life is simple, if unremarkable. Until a dead body is found outside the Shell Creek Library.

Sienna Bennett doesn’t know how she ended up here. She’s overwhelmed as a big city victim advocate, her soon-to-be-ex-husband is living in their pool house, and she feels like her stepson, Declan, blames her for the state of their family. She needs something else to focus on.

Juliet and Sienna might share a history with Declan’s dad, but they’re nothing more than friendly acquaintances. When they’re thrown together in the midst of the biggest investigation Shell Creek has ever seen, neither anticipates a forbidden attraction. It definitely isn’t worth upending the life they’ve worked so hard for. Is it?

Love a good lesbian romance
Heart Of The StormSuch a cute story exploring heartbreak, love, murder, family dynamic, and putting yourself first. Thank you again to bold strokes books and NetGalley for this copy!I really love a good lesbian romance book so it’s impossible for me to ever give a bad review lol this book was just like all my other cute lesbian romance books! This story follows Juliet, mother of Declan, friend to the father Will, and working for the police department. Sienna, wills wife, is contemplating a divorce and Will wants her to hang with Juliet because he feels she needs a friend, someone to get things off her chest with. Juliet and Sienna drive a few hours to drop off their son and stepson to camp and they bond and form a very deep connection very quickly. I’m sure you can guess where this is headed. The love triangle that no one wants. The awkwardness of trying to begin a relationship that you know will hurt so many people, but never feeling this way before and deciding to go for it!Now they are navigating this new love, and a murder happens in their quaint town. Juliet and sienna team up to figure out what happened and some crazy things happen. There are many twists and turns and you never quite know what happened!#boldstrokesbooks #lesbianromance #treeandbooks #decemberreads #netgalley #advancedreadercopy #digitalbooks #bookjourney #bookaddict #lgbtqreads #justkeepreading

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020
Juliet is happy with her life she has a great son Declan even when he being a moody teenager. She loves her job and has great friends.

Sienna is married or soon to be ex married to Declan father Will she hasn’t been happy in a long time she loves Will but not in love with him and thinks there more to life and doesn’t want wake up with regrets the only problems is Will doesn’t want to let her go even though he knows if he look over the years they haven’t been happy for a longtime.

Juliet and Sienna never really spent time together despite sharing Declan when a chance to know each other is presented they are both caught off guard by the attraction they feel for each other. As they tried to navigate this attraction a murder happen in their town and Juliet and her colleagues are baffled that someone will murder the town librarian Richard as they tried to pieces things together they are stumped with Sienna helping with Richard widow Gretchen they may finally have a lead.

Juliet and Sienna had great chemistry and dialogue was good as they tried to not give into their feelings because they didn’t want to hurt their family.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read!
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020
This was a good one. This is Stiling’s third book and my new favorite by her. She actually has officially made it to my automatic read list. Her first two books had some bumps but also a ton of potential. With this book I saw some real improvement and it makes me excited to see what she will write in the future.

A marriage ending while someone falls for another, storyline has been done plenty of times before. But what I really liked was the slight twist of how all the characters were connected. It gave the story a real forbidden love trope feel that spiced up the romance. One of my complaints, in Stiling’s first two books, was that I felt the romance needed a bit more show instead of tell. I’m happy to say that I think Stiling finally hit the perfect balance in this book. The characters had good chemistry and the kind of feelings you could really invest in as a reader.

Another part of the romance I have to mention is the communication. What a nice breath of fresh air. It was great seeing these two women in a tough situation but that they kept talking to each other. There was still plenty of angsty push-pull going on but the communication was really nice to read about. It also helped the romance that both mains were very likeable and I was even happy that the soon to be ex wasn’t made to be a bad guy.

While the romance really was the star of this book, this also has a lighter murder mystery. When I saw lighter I mean that it felt more ‘cozy mystery’ than a hardcore dark mystery. I wasn’t blown away by how it unfolded, but I really enjoyed how it enhanced other parts of the book. I think the mystery allowed the romance to shine. It made it so that the romance never dragged and it also added some little bits of excitement to the story that kept the pages turning. So while it wasn’t the best mystery on its own, I really do think it made the rest of the book better.

This was a good read and one I would recommend to romance fans that like a little something else mixed in their romance. I don’t think you have to be a mystery fan to enjoy this one since it is not so hardcore. But I do think Stiling is an author that readers should keep an eye on. She's had major potential from the start, but now she’s improving her craft. I would be shocked if she didn’t have some really great books coming up in the future.

I have read all 3 of the author's books, and they just keep getting better. All 3 are 5 star reads for me. Buy them all, they are worth it. This story has everything you could ever want in a book. I went into this one not knowing what to expect, but it was so much better than I thought it could be.
