\"17834341\"<\/a>When attorney Blake Cartwright abandons a successful career to turn a dilapidated lighthouse into an inn, everybody thinks she’s gone a little bit crazy. After witnessing a body fall from the tower, Blake wonders if they might be right. According to local legend, the spirit of a former keeper’s wife lures women to their deaths in the icy water below. Has Blake witnessed a suicide, seen a ghost–or is she just seeing things?<\/p>\n

Declan Hunter, the mysterious man she hires to help with renovations, doesn’t help matters. The man with the Navy SEAL physique claims to be nothing more than a local handyman, but Blake’s instincts warn her not to trust him. As the mystery deepens, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous labyrinth of secrets, lies, and murder. But the most serious danger of all may be falling for a man determined to leave her.<\/p>\n

Review:<\/h3>\n

In Gwenan Haines’ book, Vertigo<\/em> we first meet Lucy in the 1920’s.\u00a0 She is the wife of an abusive, alcoholic lighthouse keeper.\u00a0 To help keep the family afloat she must take over his job countless times due to his inability to complete those tasks.\u00a0 She soon makes a plan to leave her husband and take her child, but before she can she dies tragically in what most of the local legends say was a suicide.\u00a0 We than flash forward to the present and meet Blake Cartwright.\u00a0 The just bought the old lighthouse and lighthouse keepers cottage to renovate and make into an Inn.\u00a0 Blake soon after arriving gets a big surprise in Declan Hunter.\u00a0 He is a handsome stranger she finds wandering her house.\u00a0 As a former attorney Blake knows when a person has secrets and you sees Declan has more than his fair share.\u00a0 But, as Blake is trying to settle into her new community eerie and unnerving things begin to happen making her question her reality and those around her.\u00a0 Before long she is dragged into a murder mystery and being the guardian to a toddler.\u00a0 As days pass Blake unwittingly gets closer to a very dangerous and life threatening situation that could cost her and the people she has grown to care about their lives.\u00a0 Can she figure out what is really going on before she loses what’s important to her?<\/p>\n

In this engrossing suspense\/paranormal\/romance book you are dragged in with Lucy’s story but stay for the \u00fcber hot Declan and the feisty Blake.\u00a0 I thought the story was very well told and the characters were layered and complete.\u00a0 The story between Declan and Blake is very natural and doesn’t seem forced like some romance books.\u00a0 Gwenan weaves he suspense, romance and little bit of paranormal well and makes you feel a part of the story.\u00a0 Once you jumped on this roller coaster ride you didn’t want to get off until you were turning the last page.\u00a0 I really enjoyed this quick and highly addictive book.\u00a0 If you like Jerrie Alexander you will definitely like Gwenan Haines.<\/p>\n
