About this ebook

From Best Selling Author, Ali Parker
Love is a Lie. 

As a photographer for the New York Post, Kari Martin was used to seeing heartache and scandal up close. But one night at the club… her whole world changed. 

Heartbroken and willing to call off her wedding, she decides a change is in order and moves from NYC to a small town in Maine, where the average age of the residents there is sixty (or thereabouts). She works to fit in perfectly, and tries like hell not to let anyone find out just how very jaded she’s recently become over the lie called love. 

Jake Isaac left Texas quite a few years ago; his heart torn from his chest, and his mind set on being a bachelor forever. Maine would welcome him, give him land to explore and a community to belong to. Getting a job as the coach of the local junior high and serving on the fire department kept him busy — and labeled him a hometown hero — but the truth of his damaged heart was forever hidden. 

No one would ever know just how jaded he was about love. That is… until he meets Kari.

Ratings and reviews

Missed words, wrong homonyms, incomplete sentences, choppy and very repetitive story line and descriptions, ie: waggling eyebrows, smirked, laughed. Shuddered, growled, moaned from a look or a few words? After painting, how did his friend get to the house? What happened to the muffins rising in the laundry room the house didn't have? You know, open floor plan with loft bedroom. Where are the other 2 bedrooms? The description puts the porch and bay on the same side as the front door. Proof Read ; )

I liked this story, two people drawn together. Its not story that so different but yet it was refreshing. If a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend to be cheated on you, you can relate to both Jake and Kari's feelings. I found it refreshing that the two didn't deny themselves a chance at love by holding on to the past but grasped at the chance to love again.

the writing style didn't work for me. While there was good tension in the story wondering how things would turn out, some of the grammar and phrases seemed odd thus making it less enjoyable for me.
