Miles Ryan and his son Jonah have had to struggle through every day of their lives since Miles’ wife Missy was killed in a hit-and–run accident. Miles is a sheriff at a police force in the small town of New Bern. After Missy’s death, Miles locks himself into the file of Missy’s “accidental death.” No matter what anyone tells Miles, he will not believe that his wife’s death was an accident. Two years go by, and Jonah, now in the second grade, starts having trouble in school with his new teacher, Miss Sarah Andrews. So, Miles goes in to talk to her. Sarah and Miles come to the resolution that Sarah will tutor Jonah after school. Sarah and Miles have an attraction to one another. They then start an intense relationship. Everything is going great until they discover a horrible secret about their past that they may not be able to get past.
A Bend in the Road is an enticing romance that will leave you on the edge. First of all, if you don’t like romance novels don’t read this book; it is an intense romance from the start, as a wife and a beloved mother is ripped away from her family that desperately needs her. But then, Miles grows to love and need Sarah Andrews, and even Jonah grows to love her. The readers of this book will be enthused at the love vibes flowing from this book, but will also be taken on a mysterious ride as they ponder who was driving the car the night that Missy died, and compelled at the secret that ties everything together. On a scale from one to ten, I rate this book a nine.
