Silver Lining by Aleatha Romig {A Review}

"To us. To a week to remember, one that hopefully makes us each smile once we return to real life."

Aleatha Romig is back with a brand new book! Silver Lining is the story of Lena Montgomery. I first met her in the Sin series, and was instantly captivated by her. This businesswoman is fierce, determined, hardworking, and just incredible. She also has a few people that would prefer for her to disappear. Could one of them be her stalker?

My rating for Silver Lining:


When the Sin series ended I found myself wishing Lena would get her story told. Low and behold, Aleatha already had that in the works. You know I immediately added that to my TBR, and entered it in my calendar. I HAD TO!

Lena is just as incredible as she came across in Van and Julia's story. While a lot of that might be due to a mask being firmly in place, we did get to see that slip on occasion, and see the passionate woman that she is behind the scenes. Her life isn't easy by any means. Especially since someone is targeting her. But who could it be? Logan Butler automatically comes to mind, but if not him, then who?

It is on a quick vacation that Lena meets CJ. They agree not to exchange last names, or share anything about their lives outside of this resort. It's for the best as it's just a fling. Did trouble follow Lena to paradise though?

CJ, better known as Chandler, had recently sold the business that he owned with his brother. Now with little to do, it was time to take a vacation. The moment he spotted Lena, he knew he had to get to know her. He was drawn to her.

Their time spent with each other was just what they needed, but reality called. Surely they would never see each other again...

Except they did, and it was awkward until it wasn't. 

I loved their romance. I loved the suspense of who was out to get Lena, and my mind was going a mile a minute trying to solve that one. I loved that I was questioning every characters intentions. I enjoyed it when Van made an appearance. It was all so good.

Speaking of the suspects in this story, I had two that immediately came to mind. Then I added in a couple of additional possibilities, but they just didn't make sense. So when it was revealed WHO was behind it all, and WHAT their motivation was? OH MY WORD! OH MY WORD! Basically my jaw dropped.

You need to read this book. The suspense is fabulous. The romance is wonderful. The storyline keeps your attention throughout. It's also a reverse age gap, so if that's your jam, then grab this one. The gap is about 12 years. Oh, and you don't NEED to read the Sin series before reading Silver Lining. Would it help to understand Lena a bit more? Yeah probably. But that decision is up to you as this is technically a standalone. Highly recommend this one.

Happy Reading,
Laura
