BLURB:

They say it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Finn McGraw disagrees.

He was just seventeen when he had a torrid summer affair with the girl who stole his heart—and then inexplicably turned on him. Finn may have moved on with his life, but he’s never forgotten her.

Now, ten years later, he’s got more than his lost love to worry about. A horrific accident turns his life upside down, resurrecting the ghosts of his long-dead family and taking the lives of the few people he has left.

Finn always believed his estranged brother was responsible for the fire that killed their family—but an unexpected inheritance with a mystery attached throws everything he knows into doubt.

And on top of that, the beguiling daughter of his wealthy employer has secrets of her own. But the closer he gets, the harder she pushes him away.

The Seacrest is a story of intrigue and betrayal, of secrets and second chances—and above all, of a love that never dies.

My REVIEW:

“Life can change in the blink of an eye,” says Finn in the opening line of Aaron Paul Lazar’s gently romantic mystery/drama, Seacrest. The boss’s daughter falls from her horse, a cop car pulls up to the house, and bad news turns life, love and promises to dust.

Finn’s marriage isn’t great but it seems good enough, until Finn’s wife and his brother die in a car accident. Then Finn has to wonder, why were they together when he and his brother had been estranged so long.

Past hurts are easily blamed on other people, especially when someone to blame stands close at hand. But present pain is perfectly balanced by memory's balm, in writing where chapters switch seamlessly between Finn’s childhood and the present day. Evocative scenes of a quiet small-town boy’s first steps toward love are interspersed with present mystery and loss. Two American eras stand clearly defined and beautifully drawn. Finn is convincing as both child and man. And the twin mysteries of past and present tragedy combine into a fascinating tale of a young couple, overcoming life’s misunderstandings and reaching for truth.

Two romances grow in this tale, between boy and girl, and now between man and woman. Families, thrown together by love and torn by false assumptions, rise from the ashes. Present-day, large-world drama meets small-town affection, and the result is a well-structured, deeply evocative, and pleasingly emotional tale. By the final page, I’m falling in love with Finn’s community, and looking forward to further books in the series.

Disclosure: I was lucky enough to read an eARC of this book before publication.
