Book review: Blue Moon Bay

I borrowed Blue Moon Bay by Lisa Wingate from our local library and finished reading it last week. (Maybe you've seen it with a different cover, this is the large print edition.)

From the back cover:
Every Once in a Blue Moon Your Heart Waits at a Crossroads

For Seattle architect Heather Hampton, a trip back to tiny Moses Lake, Texas, is hardly in the plan. Yet because a promotion hinges on the sale of the family farmland, Heather heads to the last place she ever wanted to go. She's determined to return home, signed contract in hand, the next day.

But the currents of Moses Lake take visitors on unexpected journeys. As Heather's stay lengthens, she discovers a family steeped in secrets and an unexpected connection to local banker Blaine Underhill, despite his opposition to Heather's project. With each new revelation and question, Heather can't help but wonder if the handsome banker--and the family she has come to know again--are crooks or crusaders. Somehow she must find out the truth before she loses everything she has worked for and everything she's found on the shores of Moses Lake.

My thoughts:
This was a touching story with a little mystery too because Heather's family has so many secrets. Heather comes to Moses Lake thinking that she has a nice life that is flowing along smoothly.  She has secrets of her own though and past pains that she has never faced.  Being back in Moses Lake forces her to face reality.  I enjoyed the way this book was written and getting to know the characters.  I have read other books by Lisa Wingate and look forward to reading more of her books in the future.   
You can read the first chapter here.
