TWO HEARTS BROKEN ALONG THE SAME JAGGED EDGE MAKE A GRISLY DISCOVERY DEEP IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY

Present Day. Solveig Borja fled Virginia to escape the guilt of one reckless night, and once she settles the family estate, she’s Norway-bound and never looking back. Meanwhile, Kyle Benton has come seeking asylum from past sins—which Solveig shatters even as their hopeless romance blooms. But when they discover a skeleton at Rice Caverns, its century-old mystery holds startling links to the here and now.

1919. The Great War is won. Gussie Rice longs for her beau’s return from France until she learns he’s confined at a stateside hospital and her closest confidant is part of the secret. Her bid for love sparks a confrontation that ricochets through time…

Bad blood and escalating threats swirl around Solveig, and Kyle’s new life proves no haven from the old with his brother’s killer trolling the shadows. As the past rears up, the cavern’s hidden places beckon with power to light their hope or to swallow them in utter darkness.

My Thoughts on Like Honey for the Bones

This is quite the book.  You’ve got dual timelines going on.  And honestly, I think either timeline could be amazing as their own full book.  They both drew me in and I really wanted to know more.  I hated switching back and forth because I felt like I was leaving my favorites and going to the lesser story.  But I did that no matter which story I was leaving!  They’re both that good. 

I also think this is a book you could read more than once and each time pick more out of it that you might not have noticed or picked up on the first time. 

There are a few hidden gems in there!

When I started this book I did not expect it to have as much suspense in it as it does! 

It’s got suspense!  It’s got murder and mystery!  Oh, and there is romance!  Add in some WWI storyline from one of the timelines.  Throw in a cold case to solve and you’re starting to get the picture of just how much is in this book!

Our main female modern-time character is from Norway but comes to the US to settle up her grandfather’s estate.  That might sound simple but her short plans of in and out are thwarted right and left.  She gets help from someone who worked for her grandfather, Kyle, and the story really grows from there as they both have past secrets and issues that show up in the present day.  

In our historical context, we’re back in the times of WWI and a young girl waiting on her man to come home from war. Only unbeknownst to her he’s in a stateside hospital.  But it’s a secret that was kept from her.  By people who are supposed to be close to her.  And if that doesn’t make you raise an eyebrow I’m not sure what will!

You’re going to want to read this book now!
