Great storyline. Great storytelling - the Author knows to keep the pages full and thereby the reader keeps them turning. Good to read of another military man who fought and came home alive. Lisa had star dust in her eyes, but was grounded enough to know what wss real.

Good read. Enjoy.

I have enjoyed each of the Cliffside Bay books so much but do believe this is my favorite. It’s filled with so many emotions. Each one touches you deeply. From a horrific shooting that is another reason assault weapons should be banned to PTSD suffered by a war hero who saw some horrible things and lived through some horrible things.

Rafael and Lisa are as different as night and day but at the same time want the same things out of life. To be happy and find their true soul touching loves. They are destine to be together. That was obvious from the last book. Life has a way of putting people together who are destine I believe. It’s a wonderful feeling to be loved so deeply that you feel some higher being may have had a hand in it.

What Tess Thompson has done with this book it truly amazing. She takes two people who are hurt very deeply by things in life and puts them together in a way that only has one ending.... true love. It’s such a touching story. It’s also very sad in places. Some of the characters I did not like. One being Lisa’s mother. She reminded me of someone I know and I felt so bad for her. Her mother seemed to only like Lisa’s twin brother. Or to think he was the “golden” boy while blaming Lisa for almost losing him. What kind of mother does that? A bad bad no good no feeling one in my opinion. I just did not like her. I do like her bother though and feel so bad for him.

All the new boys in this spin off of the Cliffside Bay series are in for a very good time. I love the way this author has taken new people and brought them in to find the same kind of life/loves that the others, the “dogs” have. I look forward to reading the rest of this series so much.

It’s going to touch your heart and your soul in ways you may not expect trust me. This is the best series I have ever read and it’s only getting better with each book.

Thank you for this wonderful book. It’s a huge 5 stars and a high, very high, recommend from me.

A good start to the second half of the Cliffside Bay series

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2019

This is the first installment of The Wolves, which is also known sort of as Cliffside Bay, Part 2. This part of the series features other characters who know the Dogs, all of whom were featured in the first half of the series. They are more friends and family who had all had more bit roles, perhaps, in earlier books, or are just being introduced to us now. You can still read this one as a standalone, but definitely will enjoy it more if you have read the first books in the series, to really know all of these characters.

Quick trigger warning: This story does contain a mass shooting. It's not prolonged and not full of a bunch of gory details. But if such scenes bother you, either skip this book or skip the beginning part and enjoy the rest of the beautiful love story. I did okay with this scene in this book.

This story skips ahead about a year. Lisa is one of Maggie's friends from New York, who is looking to start over. Lisa is understandably suffering from PTSD after being involved in a shooting at a concert. She is supposed to be going on a media tour to promote her new movie and is understandably extra nervous to do so. Rafael is Kara and Brody's bodyguard, but is asked to go on the tour with her for some moral support and protection, just in case. It's a little bit more awkward than it would be otherwise, because Lisa had already asked him out and his gut instincts made him turn her down, though he totally hast he hots for her.

He is the perfect person to accompany her because as a veteran soldier, he understands the PTSD. Plus with the undeniable attraction between the two of them, it is guaranteed to cause plenty of sparks.

Adding to the chaos, Lisa's twin brother David is dealing with finding out his wife has been dealing drugs behind his back for extra money. So there's a lot of drama going on in this little world!

Lisa may be becoming famous, but she still hasn't let go of her icky middle school awkward phase that is still prominent in her mind. Rafael's past comes back to haunt him at one point. But the two of them are able to lean on each other and help each other through all of their traumas. And you've gotta love a man who loves his mama.

If you've read the River Valley series, keep an eye out for a crossover. It made me smile.

So it's yet another great story in this series that I have come to love so much. Well worth curling up with in the evenings.

Your books just keep getting better and better. That was such a great book, thank you once again. I just can’t wait to read the next one. I will have to start reading during the day, as I am until 3am every night. My husband can’t believe I am still reading at this time. Thank you.

I think I'm going to love Cliffside Bay II especially after the way it started. It was great getting to know Lisa better after a brief introduction earlier and no one deserved such a special HEA as Lisa did. I loved Rafael and Lisa together, they worked.
A totally enjoyable read.

Loved being back in Cliffside Bay again. Visiting old friends from previous books and meeting a whole new group of wonderful people who became my new friends so quickly. Another amazing love story!
I'm a believer in destiny, soulmates, love from first sight, etc. and Tess Thompson is obviously the same as it clearly takes the main place in her books. I love those interesting very realistic characters with all their detailed insecurities, flaws and demons from their past. Love how their relationships are growing strong and deep. True friendship among all of them. Though it's Rafael and Lisa's story, we got to know more what's going on in other's lives which is fantastic!
