Beneath Copper Falls (Rock Harbor Series) Paperback – Import, 24 August 2017

Having read Colleen Coble before, I expected this book to have two things: suspense and romance. And this book had both those in plenty.The suspense was dark and serial killery (which I did not expect at all) and the romance was good. (which I expected).I liked both the main characters Dana and Boone and they worked for me. I don't like books which are high on romance and low on suspense.So this book by Colleen Coble ticked all the major points for me. The entire town of Rock Harbour was both cute and charming and descriptions of landscapes were great.On the whole, another great read by a good author.

Sorry I was disappointed after reading so many positive reviews. A brilliant start seemed to fizzle out and the one twist wasn't well explained as to why what you had thought wasn't really true.

Loved having another book in the Rock Harbour series. A great story as always but I must be getting used to the format as I did work out "whodunit" before the reveal.

What a gripping and thoroughly enjoyable story. I have enjoyed everyone of the Rock Harbour series. There is always something there to challenge as well as encourage us in our daily lives. Sometimes it is hard to remember it is "fiction" because there are so many elements of fact and truth. Thank you Colleen for another great story.

I am not sure why, but I became a Colleen Coble fan late in her writing career. I had sporadically read some of her books, but didn't get into them that much. That has changed over the last few years, and I have become an avid reader of her books. In fact, I have gone back and read around 20 of her books in the last month, many that I had read before. Her best series, in my opinion, is her Rock Harbor Series. The characters are impossible not to like, and everything about the series is just top notch. It has been several years since the series ended, so I was a bit dubious about another book in the series so long after the rest.... but I was wrong to be dubious. It probably helps that I just re-read the other books a few weeks ago, but this book seamlessly fell in with the rest..... and was a totally awesome 5-stars read. The suspense and drama was great in the book, but there was a message throughout the book that Coble got across, of true beauty being what is inside. The hero of the story, Boone, is a man who got one side of his face scarred in a fire. As a result, his fiancee left him. He thinks no woman could ever love him, yet the heroine of the story is attracted to him largely in part because of who he is inside. The message is there that we work too hard to impress people with what they see of us outwardly, and too often don't work on our character and everything else inside enough. On the flip side, the bad guy in the story had perfect looks, but was an evil killer. This paragraph sums up the theme and message of the book: "Scars and all, his face was so handsome, so beloved. Her experience had taught her of how the soul was the repository of beauty. Unlike the Phantom (of the opera) who was as ugly on the inside as he was on the outside, Boone's scars hid an astoundingly beautiful soul. She had spent too much of her life worrying about the face she presented to the world, and much too little time on the character she needed to be developing every day." Thanks, Colleen for writing not just a great suspense novel that was hard to put down, but also for including this great and needful message.

For now, Beneath Copper Springs is the last book in the Rock Harbor Series. The series was excellent. The characters evolved and seemed like old friends by the time this book is finished. We meet new characters in this book. Dana is a 911 dispatcher. She moves to Rock Harbor. She had lived in the town when she was younger. She was Bree’s friend. She meets Boone. He had been in a fire accident and his face was scared. Dana never saw his scars. Dana has a brother named Chris who brings lots of drama to the story. This reader hopes Colleen Coble will revisit Rock Harbor. It would be nice to continue the story.
