Publisher's summary

Filled with the enticing blend of suspense and romance Coble is known for, “devotees of Dani Pettrey, Brenda Novak, and Allison Brennan will find a new favorite here.”

After her husband, Jack, dies in a climbing incident, Shauna has only her five-year-old son and her helicopter charter business to live for. Every day is a struggle to make ends meet and she lives in constant fear of losing even more than she already has.

When her business partner is murdered, his final words convince Shauna that she’s in danger too. But where can she turn? Zach Bannister was her husband’s best friend and is the person she blames for his death. She’s barely spoken to him since. But right now he seems to be her only hope for protecting her son.

Zach is only too happy to assuage his guilt over Jack’s death by helping Shauna any way he can. But there are secrets involved dating back to Shauna’s childhood that more than one person would prefer to stay hidden.

"Prepare to stay up all night with Colleen Coble. Coble's beautiful, emotional prose coupled with her keen sense of pacing, escalating danger, and very real characters place her firmly at the top of the suspense genre. I could not put this book down." (Allison Brennan, New York Times best-selling author of Shattered)

“…The View From Rainshadow Bay, opens with a heart-pounding, run-for-your-life chase. This book will stay with you for a long time, long after you flip to the last page.” (RT Book Reviews, 4 stars)

What a beautiful start

I absolutely loved the story, with all the trial, worries, and facing danger, and Jesus always carries us through to the other side, He never promised an easy life, we have to pick up our cross and follow Him as His Burden is light

Love lavender

I could not put this book down. It always kept me guessing .Never a dull moment. The narrator is awesome and very good change over to each person. The truth about God and his word through out the story so effortlessly and always in the right places .I really felt that I was right there watching it all play out right in front of me.
Thank you for taking me away for a few hours.
Will definitely be listening to more of Ms.Coble and Devon Day
another favorite author .The only thing that would make this book better is if I had the hard back and cd for my collection.Eccelent book and presentation.

Great book

Great plot with well developed characters. The narration for the main character came across as whining sometimes in the audible version of the book. Otherwise, highly recommend the book.

Suspense, Mystery, Drama and Romance

Absolutely loved it. Another classic Colleen Coble! I can't get enough of her works. She's a master at mixing the perfect combination of suspense, mystery, drama and romance. this book begins a new series sets in Washington state, and I could picture mysellf there as I was reading this great novel. On to book #2!
