Heart of Gold: A Novel

This was a an interesting and intriguing story that kept me guessing right up until the end. I love a good romantic suspense and this had all the qualities I look for in the trope except I think it could have used a little more romance. It is also a second chance romance of course. I did enjoy it very much though; the story flowed nicely and I really liked Shep and Charlie's characters. I love that when the judge calls him, Shep drops everything to show up and be there for Charlie and little does she know doesn't have any intentions on leaving her. And of course the judge. I am enjoying this series from B.J. Daniels.

The best part of a B.J. Daniels book is the points of view of so many characters! I love it! It's more than 2 points of view which you get with most stories. I love to hear the thoughts of various characters and what is happening in their head! It really enhances the story and in this case, the suspense! However, it never gives away the plot or the "who done it"! You never know who the perpetrator is until the last chapter or the last page! In true Daniels fashion, the whole book is a series of twists and turns you never see coming! That's why when I start a book, I know I can't put it down! This was no different. Charlie "sees" her long-dead stepsister on a street corner one day and just about loses it! Who wouldn't? She calls in a favor from a judge from when she was a teenager and he sends out her first love, Shep, to look into it. Charlie can't believe it, she never thought she's see him again. Together they try to get to the bottom of who this lookalike could be and it opens a nasty can of worms! Charlie's workplace is another area that is causing issues in her life and that together with this "sighting" of her dead stepsister is making her life crazy! Shep is the only thing bringing some calm in her life but she doesn't know how that's going to turn out! I highly recommend this book!

Very intriguing,keeps you guessing,holds your attention all the way through the book. Never anything dull and boring about this book‼️🥰🥰🥰. Loved it‼️🎯💯
