4.0

Tainted: Lance & Mary is the 5th book in the Cliffside Bay series. We have been introduced to Lance and Mary in previous books and she was not well liked by the “Dogs” & “Wags”. In this book you learn why Mary has been so guarded and sad. Lance is a good guy that has been able to see another side of Mary and wants to win her heart. This is a heartwarming story of friendship, hope and love. I have really enjoyed reading this series and getting to know the “Dogs” and the “Wags”. I am sad that this “era” is ending but I am looking forward to reading what is next! Thanks for the ARC copies Tess Thompson!

This is the 5th book in one of the best series I have ever read. The books are all so good and keep you wanting more throughout.

In this one you get to know Lance and Mary.

Mary is so messed up from previous life events. She started out on the wrong foot with the Dogs and the Wags but for a pretty good reason. Her fear of loss is so great. She lost her baby and her cheating low life husband and that left her with many insecurities.. Her mother passed away not long after Mary lost her baby so that didn’t help with her security issues.

Lance has a few issues of his own. He was in love with a woman and lost his job over her. But he is crazy about Mary and will do everything he can to prove to her that his love is forever. He’s a very romantic type of guy and is very smart in making money for himself and others.

Of course the others are also a big part of this book. Babies are born and there is much love and heartache in this book. I would laugh in parts and ugly cry in others. This is one wonderful book. The series just gets better and better. I can’t wait for the next and I have no doubt there will be another.

This is another big huge beautiful 5 star book. Thank you to Tess Thompson for an ARC of this in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
