Another book in the Harbor Pointe Series is available today! If you’ve pre-ordered, you already have it loaded onto your Kindle. Congratulations to Staci!!
BOOK BLURB:
A narcissistic patriarch. A mystical legend. A fathomless affair.
Most people wouldn’t dread a weekend at the historic Harbor Pointe Inn. Lorelei Audley isn’t most people. The fresh sea air, breathtaking vistas, and gourmet meals can’t buoy her spirits. She’s there to coordinate her father’s latest wedding. The bride is a nightmare, yet somehow, the groom is worse. Lorelei steels herself to suffer through a few days of psychological abuse and abject misery.
She’s unprepared for a paranormal encounter, missing persons case, and police investigation.
Not to mention a budding romance.
A lot can happen in a short time, far more if the supernatural is involved. Lorelei has a small window in which to solve some very big problems—problems as numerous as the sands at the foot of the scenic Harbor Pointe cliffs.
MY REVIEW:
Lorelei Audley is a character I immediately connected with. Everything that happens to Lorelei makes me think of Murphy’s Law. She seems destined to run into one disaster after another. When she slips and falls in the foyer of the Harbor Pointe Inn upon her arrival in pouring rain, she’s humiliated, knowing she’s flashed everyone nearby. Lorelei is stressed to the max.
Her father is getting married yet again. And he insists that Lorelei handle all of the preparations for the wedding at the historic inn. And while Lorelei goes above and beyond to satisfy his every whim, nothing she does is ever good enough.
Thank goodness for another character, Porter Barrett, a budding astronomer, who helps her navigate through the madness of the wedding. There is a slight hint of a possible romance, and I love that.
I wanted Lorelei to stand up to her narcissistic father and put him in her place, but the way the author unfolded the story, she went much deeper than just telling the man off and leaving. She created a scenario I could not have seen coming a mile away.
Troilo blends the past with the present in this story and includes complex family dynamics that I found relatable, mixed with otherworldly events I could not have predicted. You will love this story if you love a great family drama story with paranormal aspects! I highly recommend it!

You couldn’t have said a nicer thing. Thank you so much, Jacquie. ?
I agree, Jacquie, that Staci is so good at writing complex characters. I know you are going to enjoy her story. And thank you for your interest in reading mine! I’m honored!
Wow, this sure sounds like a fab series. What an inspired idea to have a group of varied writers all write different stories on the same location.
Congratulations to Staci for the book, on its release and for being part of such a cool happening!
I was just on Sally’s blog reading about Diana’s book in this series.
I look forward to reading a review on each.
Thanks so much, Resa. It was a fun idea, and I think we all learned a lot working on it. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m proud to be part of the series.
You should be proud!!!

Thank you so much for visiting, Resa! It was challenging, but so much fun to write these stories. We bounced a lot of ideas off each other in the process. Staci’s story is so good. I know readers are going to enjoy it. We appreciate your support!
It’s a wonderful project. I’m so impressed with the writers I’ve been meeting on WP. I’m a slow reader, but I always have 1 book on the go, and 9 out of 10 are by WP writers.
Staci always creates such great characters. I couldn’t agree more with your review, Jan. A Fathomless Affair is an excellent book. I hope many new fans discover it!
What a wonderful thing to hear at the end of a long day. Thanks so much, Mae.
Thank you, Mae! I’m happy you stopped by!
Great review, Jan 🙂 I completely agree. it’s a fantastic read!

Thank you, Mary. I know you will enjoy the story!
I am (slowly) working my way through this series, but this is one I am definitely looking forward to. Thanks for a great review, Jan.
I know just what you mean about slowly working through your TBR list. I’m doing the same (and eagerly anticipating reading your third-in-series). Thanks for the support, Dan.
Thank you, too, Staci
You are in for a treat, Dan. We all deeply appreciate your support with the Harbor Pointe Series!
This one sounds wonderful! Thanks for the great review.
It was a great review. I was thrilled to read it. Thanks, Darlene.
I want to read all of these books but not until the new year as I have to get my TBR list down. (I’m trying hard to be disciplined)
I know that feeling. But you’re much more disciplined than I am! The good news is when you get to the series in the new year, you won’t have to wait for more installments to drop. The final two come out in January, then we’ll have the whole set available. If you do read them, I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you for stopping by, Darlene. 2024 will be a great time to binge-read this series. We deeply appreciate your support.
That’s a great review, Jan. Congratulations to Staci.
Thanks so much, Craig.
Thank you, Craig. I appreciate you stopping by to cheer Staci on!
