Review: Good book with a cliffhanger

With the exception of my irritation at the cliffhanger, I enjoyed this book. Its light reading about the woes of young adults of two families. Jasmine returns to her hometown after a 12 year exile in New York where she was sent at age 16 after a scandal involving a Pastor's son. The suspicious death of her mother is the only thing that could bring her back to face her now adult lover, a father who does not appear concerned about her mother death and memories of past friendships.  There are several stories within this novel, each intriguing and drama-filled. The story has romance, murder, love on the side and people of faith all mingled together.  Certainly not boring.  The writing is a little stilted at time but the story is good although but marred by minor editing problems.  Then there is the mid-scene cliffhanger so beware this is not a stand alone book.  To the authors credit in the FINAL pages she shares that this is her style.  With that admission, I will read the next one to wrap up the story but then that's it for me.
