BOOK SUMMARY
A second chance for romance...

Hidden in Graystone Manor is a book containing all the dark secrets of Harmony Harbor, and Ava DiRossi is determined to find it. No one-especially not her ex-husband, Griffin Gallagher-can ever discover what really tore her life apart all those years ago. With Griffin back in town, it's more important than ever that she find the book before someone else does. Because her ex is still angry with her for leaving him. And he still has no idea Ava never stopped loving him...

Ava is no longer the vibrant, happy woman Griffin had once loved and married, and he would do anything to bring back the sparkle to her brilliant green eyes. But what's never changed are the sexy sparks of attraction between Ava and Griffin, and he won't give her up again without a fight. He knows there's the real possibility of a future together... if the truth doesn't burn the bridge between them forever.

EXCERPT

“What happened to your arm?” Griffin asked Ava.
She turned to grab the bucket. “I hit it on the service cart. It’s nothing, really.”
“It’s not nothing. Let me see.” He reached for her at the same time wondering what he was doing. Why couldn’t he just leave it alone?
“No. I…” Her gaze jerked to his hand as he gently wrapped his fingers around her fine-boned wrist. She pulled away from him, wrenching her arm as she did. He noted her desperate attempt to contain the pained gasp, the flash of panic in her eyes.
They were the same, her eyes. They no longer lit up with laughter and passion, but they were just as incredibly beautiful as they used to be. Her eyes were the only thing about her that was remotely familiar. Maybe they were the reason he couldn’t let it go. The reason he took her hand, despite her murmured protest, and carefully pushed up the sleeve of her sweater.
His breath hissed through his teeth. Her forearm was almost completely black and blue. He raised his gaze to hers. “You didn’t get this from banging your arm on the service cart.”
She wouldn’t meet his eyes as she tried to push her sleeve back down. “I hit it again last night. Please, Griffin, it’s just a bruise.”
“You sure about that? It looks pretty bad to me. Maybe you have a hairline fracture. Did you let Doc Bishop take a look?”
She pulled away again, and this time he let her go. They hadn’t been alone together in a long time. He hadn’t stood this close to her or held her hand, and he didn’t like the uncomfortable pressure building in his chest. He tried to convince himself that it was nothing—just a reaction to seeing the extensive bruising. His protective instincts were strong. That’s all it was. He’d react the same to anyone with a similar injury. But with Ava, he didn’t want to feel anything. Not one damn thing.


CAT'S REVIEW
"Starlight Bridge" by Debbie Mason.  This tale is one of second chances and renewed true love.  Ava and Griffin married young and divorced young, but no one but Ava knew why.  I liked Ava a lot and my heart hurt for her.  Showing her strength, she struggled through and did what she needed to do to survive.  Griffin was sexy and sweet and amazingly understanding too.  There are many secondary characters, which at times was a bit confusing, but didn't take away, too much, from Ava and Griffin's story.  I adored Colleen but never warmed up to Lexi.  I found the first part of the book was quite emotional and had me turning each page almost regretfully yet eagerly to see what awaited our couple next.  The author brought me to tears several times and my heart hurt.  However, I did find that some of the resolutions that occurred were just a bit too over the top for me and took away from the journey of Ava and Griffin, making the beauty of their love a little less.   Overall, this is an enjoyable read that showcases love, family and friendships.  I will most certainly look forward to reading future works by this author.  (received copy from NetGalley for honest review)
★★★.5
