review 1: I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and an interesting character study. Paul was the one person that seemed to keep his head together while Anne is one of those people you should run from because she will suck you into her empty orbit. Unfortunately, Maddie didn't realize this until too late. There is a sad stereotype about how some people lose their brains as they get more money! They are the true leeches.
review 2: I was drawn to this book because the protagonist is a Realtor who is married to a home builder, like I am. It covers several years with the main characters as young adults into the present time. Her characters are fully developed I really enjoyed the way she delved into the heads of her characters and their psychology. Maddie Alden's ch... morearacter goes from a young mother whose only job had been as a waitress until she meets a Real Estate Broker who offers her a job as an assistant. Maddie discovers she has a knack at selling and quickly develops relationships with out of town buyers who are snatching up the upper-end custom homes her husband's company are building. She discovers what she wants from life and surprises herself when she goes for it. A must read if you like stories that revolve around secrets in the past. less
