Release Blitz & Review - SHATTERED ILLUSIONS by Christina Sol


Shattered Illusions by Christina Sol is now live!



They’re best friends turned bitter enemies. Forced to live together, they call a truce and sparks ignite. But someone is watching. Someone who’ll do anything to destroy her…

Roxie Jameson is often called a workaholic. She prefers to call herself driven. As the owner of Comfort Food, a café and catering company on Hudson Island, she embraces the constant hustle of entrepreneurial life. Especially since her jam-packed to-do list gives her zero time to dwell on how tired and lonely she is. But when her archnemesis—and former best friend—returns to the island, Roxie’s structured schedule gets thrown off course.

Joe Buchanan has resigned from the FBI and returns home to Hudson Island without a plan. He’s at a crossroads both professionally and personally. However, before he can determine his next move, he must fix the friendship with Roxie that he so callously destroyed three years ago—and acknowledge his long-denied feelings for her.

While Roxie and Joe learn to forgive their past mistakes, they find themselves increasingly and irresistibly drawn together. But when a mysterious threat emerges, will their fragile relationship endure? And will they find a way to trust each other before it's too late?

This is book two in the Hudson Island Series of interconnected standalones. I haven't read book one but will definitely find time to check it out. Best friends to enemies to lover, with a slow growing suspense is just what the doctor ordered.

As Joe returns home after leaving his job as an FBI Agent, he has lots to sort out but the first thing on his agenda is his friendship with Roxie. It is kind of hard to hate and be in love with the woman at the same time, those feelings keep crossing over and causing whiplash for everyone near. When truths come out, he realizes that his past lead him to conclusions without asking questions. 

Roxie is a strong independant woman who has a wonderful cafe and catering business that is thriving in their little town. Rest and relaxation are things that she doesn't do well and it's starting to be noticed by her friends. She misses the closeness she once had with Joe but holds on strong to Quinn and now Alex as a lifeline when things get hard.

As it becomes clear that Roxie has a stalker, Joe jumps into defensive mode. Will this new closeness be what they need to push them past the last few years of being in enemy territory with each other. As feeling are let out of the bag, things change quickly but will Joe be able to keep himself out of the dog house? Could this be the beginning of the rest of their lives on Hudson Island?

An emotional read with some ups and downs and many twists and turns.
