Strands of Harper Taylor’s childhood
are resurfacing—but will the truth save her . . . or pull her under?
Harper Taylor is used to being alone— after all, she grew up in one foster home after another. Oliver Jackson finally took her under his wing when she was a runaway teenager, and now Harper pours her marine biology knowledge into Oliver’s pen shell research. But she’s never stopped wishing for a family of her own.
So when a DNA test reveals a half-sister living just two hours away, Harper is both hopeful and nervous. Over warm cinnamon rolls, Harper and Annabelle find striking similarities in their stories. Is it just a coincidence that both their mothers died tragically, without revealing Harper and Annabelle’s father’s name?
Oliver’s son Ridge still sees Harper as a troubled teen even all these years later. But when Oliver is attacked, Ridge and Harper find themselves working together to uncover dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy them all. They must unravel her past before they can have any hope for the future.
Suspense, romance, and generational secrets meld in this engrossing new novel from USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble.

My Thoughts:
Strands of Truth
by Colleen Coble is a romantic suspense novel with a heart. The plot is
completely original. Who would have thought that looking for DNA through an ancestry
program could cause so much drama. There was plenty of moments where the story
progressed in trying to find the connections between the two sisters and
hunting for their birth father. While that moved along nicely, the romance between
Ridge and Harper was not believable. I had a really hard time believing they
liked each other at all. Especially after learning how they felt about each
other at the beginning of the novel. I had a really hard time turning those
ideas off. The romance bothered me the rest of the novel. Coble should have
written another love interest, not Ridge.
Didn't fit the story line at all. Coble's writing was wonderful. She has
proven why she is at the top of her genre with the details and character's
perspective told by the characters. Overall, Strands of Truth by Colleen Coble is a fascinating tale of ancestry
DNA and what could come out of the closet. I believe fans of Coble's other
stories, DiAnn Mills, or Irene Hannon would enjoy this story.
I received a complimentary copy of Strands of Truth by Colleen Coble from Thomas Nelson Publishing,
but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
3.5 out of 5 stars
