Blythe Heywood denied her destiny when she left Finn Lanigan behind 13 years ago to return to her fiancé, a wedding, and the life of safety and security that she'd yearned for since she was a child. But in the wake of her husband's betrayal, Blythe is forced to begin again. And it's her memories of Finn, the only man who ever weakened her knees, that call her across the Pacific Northwest in search of the next chapter in her life. Starting over in the foothills of Blue Mountain changes everything Blythe thought she knew, as she learns that sometimes the road not taken is actually the path that is meant to be.

The first book in the Blue Mountain Series joins Tess Thompson's lovable but complex characters with a mature love story about second chances, families, and learning to love after loss.

Blue Midnight
This was my first book for this author and I truly fell in love myself with her style of writing absolutely sweet story..After 13 years of marriage Blythe husband decides he wants a divorce, leaving her for his young assistant. Not only is he leaving her for his assistant he is taking the assistant and their two young daughters to Hawaii for his honeymoon to the assistant who does that takes kids on a honeymoon.. meanwhile Blythe is searching through some drawers and comes across a phone number she has had for 13 years that she thought she had got rid of . It was from a would-be 3-day Romance... something she thought she had gotten rid of a long time ago. but now she has the chance to look Finn Lanigan up... I found this book to be so hard to put down I actually read it in 2 days to settings I know if you pick the book up and this is your type of story you will fall in love with this author as I did.. I would recommend it to anyone because it's not only a beautiful cover for the book but a beautiful story on the inside...

I have read several of Tess Thompson's other books and have loved every one of them. Blue Midnight is right up there with all her other amazing works and is so very good. I feel like I've just made a whole new set of friends in this book and can't wait to find out how the rest of this series turns out.
Ms. Thompson has such a wonderful way of creating characters that are so relatable. I felt like I was friends with Blythe in this book and wanted to be there for her in what she was going through after her husband of 13 years breaks the news that he "wasn't in love" with her anymore. Now she has to start life anew and as she's cleaning out her nightstand she finds a phone number. Someone she met right before she married Michael and OH, the chemistry! She has regrets about the choice she made to honor her engagement. What should she do now? After 13 years how would Finn feel? Would he even remember her? Her sister, Bliss, convinces her to try and find Finn.
The story takes the reader to the town of Peregrine, Idaho, and the search begins. There is mystery, shocking revelations, suspicions, physical attraction, a bit of paranormal activity, family feuding, finding love again, and so much more. This is all written into a fantastic story by a very talented story teller, Tess Thompson. When I pick up one of her books, I know I'm in for a wonderful journey in the lives of her characters. I become invested in the characters and keep turning the pages to find out what happens in their lives.
The setting of this story is in the mountains of Idaho and the scenic descriptions are right on. I felt like I was breathing the fresh pine, feeling the cool breezes off the lakes and listening to the sounds of nature as I was reading. Again, a way that Ms. Thompson has of bringing the reader right into the story.
There are passages in the book that are so perfect for the feelings of the characters. The destiny of Blythe to be in Peregrine and search for the one real love she gave up to keep her commitment to Michael, was a great premise.
"Why would you do that?" He raised his head to look into my eyes. "What are we doing here, Blythe?"
"Despite my best efforts, tears filled my eyes. "I don't know exactly. All I know is that there have been times in my life when I knew I was exactly where I should be and this is one of them."
I'm on a reading marathon of this series. I can't wait to begin the next book, Blue Moon, and the continuation of the family saga that it will tell.
Thank you, Tess Thompson, for a great read that I enjoyed so very, very much!
I would give it all the stars in the blue midnight skies if I could! Definitely 5 stars for me!

This was my first book by Tess Thompson and I thoroughly enjoyed her writing, with real, flawed characters and an interesting and emotional storyline. A good read.

Okay so I'm giving this 5 stars because the book is really good. It's got good plot, well developed characters, and written really well.

Now to be picky 😅 the type of writing is NOT my favorite and I in fact almost gave up the book all together several times because of it. There is A LOT of internal monolog and very specific details about some stuff that made me feel a little icky to be honest.(which I promise is hard to do when my normal choice of books are VERY dark)

I'm probably not the normal demographic for this book, so there's a lot of stuff I just kind of... chose to... let go? For lack of better phrasing I guess.

I enjoyed the mystery and destiny aspects of this book which is why I pushed through but it probably took me three times longer than notmal to finish because of the style of writing.

Im probably not gonna read any of the other books because of that, but I WOULD however read an entire series about miss moonstone because she really stole the show for me 🤣

When I get a book like this one I can get lost for a few days. The stories that take you to other places. Make you feel things, sadness, happiness, joy, fear, intrigue. This one has it all.

I’ve enjoyed several of Tess Thompson’s books and each is great. This one is no exception. It will pull at your heart and your mind. It’s got some magic. Some edge of your seat. And the love... Oh that is always the best part.

After Blythe’s husband decides he wants something new she has to accept the fact that her marriage is over. Blythe did not expect for her life to chance this late in the game but some things can be a blessing. When Michael leaves her for another, younger woman, Blythe and their two little girls move from their home. They have place to go and will be ok. But Blythe is lonely and with her girls going away for their dads marriage she needs a change. Her sister talks her into going to Idaho and looking up the only man who ever made her weak in the knees. She has to go in search of her destiny, don’t ya think. I sure do and am glad she did....

Now if you want to find out anymore all I can say is you have to read this book. It’s great. It has so much going on and keeps you wanting more. It has so much love. So much happiness. And even a bit of a mystery. I didn’t get the mystery part right so that was good. It’s one you will not want to put down. Great characters, great setting, great scenery, beautiful mountains, soothing lakes, great love.

I gave it a bit 5 stars but it would be way more if possible. One you will truly love

I’ve read most of Ms. Thompson’s series and I loved this book more than all the others. And they’re all very good. But this one was deeper, the story very compelling and the characters better fleshed out. Beautifully written! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

What I liked about this book...the supernatural elements. There were lots of unexplainable clues leading the heroine thru the story. The mystery was also well developed. And the secondary characters were at times more interesting than the main characters. What I did not like...the over the top generosity of the heroine's sister was a bit much to swallow. Also the leading man was not an interesting character...I needed to know more than he was a very wealthy widower with a teenage daughter. And the ending was kind of corny. There were several passages in the book that I skimmed over because they didn't seem relevant--just thrown in for filler. Not regretting the read, just have read better.

I absolutely loved this book. Not your run of the mill romance. A well crafted story with a few clever twists and turns and some very interesting characters. Excellent natural dialogue (it's actually hard to write good dialogue so that it sounds natural and Tess Thompson does it well). Her editor should have picked her up on the 'from whence'. It's a common error and a frequent 'strike' with my editor's pen. The word 'whence' already means 'from where' or 'from which place', so saying 'from whence' is actually saying 'from from where'. But it's a tiny silly thing and won't stop me from buying the next book in the series. Definitely 5 stars.

Blythe was now divorced and missing her daughters who had flown to Hawaii to be with her ex husband and his future wife.
She decided to go and see if she could find a man she knew years ago that she never forgot.
Blyth went to Peregrine to find Finn and instead met Kevan and found out that Finn had died.
This started a big mystery of Finn and Kevens wife.
Really liked this story and looking forward to reading the rest.
