About the Book The Final Word

Series: Bite of Betrayal #2
Author: Laura Thomas
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: June 5, 2025
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

When aspiring author Sophie Brooks chooses to trade a vibrant Paris life for the tranquility of a quaint English village, she imagines her final days in the City of Lights will be magical. Sophie doesn’t anticipate a chilling encounter with an old flame—nor does she plan to find a new love on her very last night.

Miles Morgan’s life has been defined as a successful opera singer-until now. His chance encounter with Sophie in Paris ignites renewed hope … if he can figure out his next chapter and if she can accept what his future may hold.

In the heart of the English countryside, Sophie and Miles’ fairy tale romance turns into a noxious nightmare as the darkness of Sophie’s past—and her volatile ex—catch up with her. Both Sophie and Miles must surrender everything to the One they thought had betrayed them as they lean into love and fight for their lives.

My Thoughts on The Final Word

What a fun novel!  I can say that I would love to move from Paris to the countryside.  That would definitely be my choice.  I’m a rural country girl at heart. 

This is a clean romantic fiction novel with a bit of suspense and mystery thrown in for good measure.  It’s also the second book in the series.  It can be read as a standalone novel, but it will make the most sense if read in order. 

Sophie is an aspiring author who has been working at a bakery in Paris.  She’s “followed” as she moves to the English countryside.  There are some references to domestic abuse in this novel, and the main character struggles with accepting a God that is good when things go wrong and bad exists in the world. 

The author does a wonderful job of keeping you engaged in the novel while allowing you to get to know the characters and keeping the action moving at all times.
