One of 2016's best summer reads * Red magazine * Seductive and mysterious, this is the perfect novel to while away a summer's afternoon * Daily Express * Gripping... You'll be rooting for Jim and Jennifer, the narrative zips along at a great pace and it's brilliantly written. I loved it * Daily Mail * Buried secrets, lost loves, betrayal and heartbreak fuel this intriguing, atmospheric love story with plenty of twists to keep you turning the pages * Sunday Express S magazine * Beautifully descriptive and achingly romantic, this absorbing tale is a pure delight ***** * Heat magazine * A classic tale of star-crossed lovers - with a dark twist. Vividly told, with plenty of surprises * Good Housekeeping * Romance with a side order of suspense * Glamour * Mystery, intrigue and romance all come together in one brilliant read * Fabulous magazine * Atmospheric and engrossing * Sunday Mirror * Fantastic reading, an excellent balance of romance and suspense. If you're heading on an end-of-summer break away, pack this one in your bag * Irish Country Living * A stirring and intoxicating story of love and twisted secrets waiting... lurking. The bewitching hot heady Deep South encouraged me to explore the past, so evocatively described and full of promise. Waves of emotion, spilling the ups and downs of life, feeling touchable and realistic wash the pages. Tasmina Perry has the ability to immerse you entirely within the story, I lived in the moment, whether it was 1995 or 2015. 'The House on Sunset Lake' surges towards a climatic ending, it is a moving, and truly very lovely story indeed * LoveReading * A perfect summer read. Very evocative. A super book and I highly recommend it * Linda's Bookbag *More details
