Adele Downs's Blog
February 6, 2023
Hello, again!
Time has passed since I posted a message to my author blog. When I opened Bayside Book Reviews in 2021, I gave the startup my full attention. It didn’t take long before reviewing books became my full-time love. I hope you’ll visit the site and follow Bayside Book Reviews and its Instagram page.
Readers have found Bayside Book Reviews organically. I haven’t paid social media recruiters for followers. If you love books, I’d love for you to join us. I only post reviews for books earning four or five stars to offer readers great choices. Most of the novels I read are thrillers, with the occasional women’s fiction, romance, cozy mystery and teen book featured.
I look forward to seeing you as a follower and wish you happy reading!

Bayside Book Reviews is live! Check it out the home page at https://baysidebookreviews.com
And on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/baysidebookreviews
It’s time for me to begin a new challenge and I hope you’ll join me in my new endeavor!
I moved to the beach not long ago in semi-retirement and started posting book reviews to my author blog, NetGalley, Goodreads, and Amazon since I love to read. After several months, NetGalley awarded me Top Reviewer status when publishers began quoting my reviews on their promotions pages. That got me thinking–what could be a more natural transition than to post book reviews on a dedicated blog?
I’m excited to announce the launch of Bayside Book Reviews to WordPress and Instagram! Only books rated four or five stars will be featured. I hope you’ll follow me there.

Book Review-Too Good To Be True by Carola Loverling @StMartinsPress #BookReview #AmReading @NetGalley #Mystery #Thriller #WomensFiction #Books #NetGalley
Too Good To Be True by Carola Loverling
St. Martin’s Press
ISBN 9781250271372
About The Book:
ONE LOVE STORY. TWO MARRIAGES. THREE VERSIONS OF THE TRUTH.
Too Good to Be True is an obsessive, addictive love story for fans of Lisa Jewell and The Wife Upstairs, from Carola Lovering, the beloved author of Tell Me Lies.
Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips—she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family—she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.
But now Burke—handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before—says he wants her. Forever. Except, Burke isn’t who he claims to be. And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends.
In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy, and make a better life for herself in New York City. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past—or will he find his way into her future?
On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth.
Adele’s Review:
Brilliant! A must-read! Carola Lovering’s Too Good To Be True is a highly original revenge thriller that’s fast paced and beautifully written, with plot twists I never saw coming. The antagonists are diabolical, and the protagonist (with the terrific name Skye Starling), is someone I rooted for to the last page. I couldn’t put this book down. Don’t miss this one!
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press (who often publish my favorite books!) and NetGalley for providing an ARC for an honest review.

(First published in the Love Is Like A Box of Chocolates Anthology)
Only .99! Free on KU!
A bicycle. An accident. A meet cute. ***Lillian Holmes is single and has never been in love. She spent most of her twenties and much of her thirties caring for her ailing mother—a choice she made willingly and without regret. After her mother passes away, Lillian fulfills her lifelong dream of living at the beach, and moves from her Midwestern hometown to a modest house on the Delaware coast. Beach living gives her freedom she’s never known, including walks at dusk beside the bay and morning rides on her bicycle. She’s content in her new life—and then an accident tosses her from her bike—and straight into the arms of a handsome stranger.
