Golden Gate Secrets: In Times Gone by (Hardcover)

Now this is the third book in this series, and you might want to treat yourself and read them too, but you can read this one alone, the author gives you enough to keep you up to date. We are now in the clean up phase after the devastating earthquake that shook San Francisco, and are offered some interesting facts of what was really happening there. We are caught of in the lives of several of the characters, with more to come. There are times here when evil really raises its ugly head, and you will be holding your breath at the outcome. I loved the epilogue we are given! You don't want to miss this great read filled with love, compassion, and forgiveness! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.

This book was a lot of fun to read. After reading the first two in this series I was dying for this book to come out. The characters are fun to watch and I enjoy the way they work together. It's not rare to find them putting others before themselves, even if it is begrudgingly at times. In Times Gone By we follow Kenzie as she is confronted with a man from her past. He not only broke her heart but skewed her view on men. Micah has shown her that not all men are so selfish, but her heart can't belong to two people at the same time. Her ex-fiancé sounds pretty believable, but there are some things that don't make sense. Can they get to the bottom of it before Kenzie is forced to make a decision? This story has so many twists and turns I didn't see coming. The world after a tragedy can be unlike anything we are used to. There are those that will seek to make gains from it, and others who give so freely to help their fellow man. This group of friends is the latter of the two, and I enjoyed watching them come up with ways to help those in need. This book would be fine as a stand alone, but I think you'll enjoy the journey from the beginning as well. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley and was in no way forced to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
