~~ New Beginnings ~~
The chance to start life all over with the help of a
stranger.
Twenty-two-year-old
Sophie Levesque has been guardian to her eight-year-old sister Mia since their

when they inherit a small house in Hobart. Problem is, though, they don’t know
and have never heard of Clara Bellinger, the testator. Settling into their new

Mark O’Connor,
attorney in Hobart and the bearer of the good news for Sophie and Mia, curses

the questions gives him an opportunity to see Sophie again, and the more time
he spends with the two, the more he realises that his life is missing
something. And it’s not his casual lover Linda.
But then there’s
Zach, Sophie’s sexy neighbour from across the road… and a very good friend of
Clara’s.
Will unravelling
the mystery unravel Sophie and Mark’s promise of a future?

Sophie is barely a woman herself yet she
carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. After her father abandons her
at a young age and her mother passes away, she's left to raise her 8 year old
sister Mia on her own.
When Sophie and Mia inherit a house in Hobart,
they pack up all their belongings, which sadly fit in a few suitcases and move.
After meeting with the gorgeous and sweet lawyer, Mark, Sophie and Mia set out
to make this their new home.
But after everything Sophie's endured, she can't help but to be waiting for the other shoe to drop. What if it's a mistake? What if it isn't her house? What if, this last shot at building a life is taken away from them in an instant.
Iris does an incredible job of creating characters you can't help but to be on their side as you hold your breath wishing for a happy ending.

Wow...what a tangled web we weave! Sophie has
got it coming in all directions with the mystery of the testator.
These are the type of stories that I love...since it has a bit of everything in it. Not only do we get a bit of a love triangle but add some mystery and thriller to it. Now, that makes a perfect book by Ms. Blobel!
But let me remind you that this is nothing new since I find myself always wrapped up in this author's writing since she writes with emotion and feelings. Whether it be anger, happiness, sadness - you name it...Ms. Blobel gives us the whole package in her stories!

Sophie Levesque stared at the attorney in front of her, waiting for
some answers. She and her little sister, Mia, had been quietly sitting in Mr.
O’Connor’s office for more than half an hour, learning about the details of their
inheritance.
Once he was finished, silence hung in the air before she asked with
raised eyebrows. “Who?”
“Clara Catherine Bellinger.”
Mia leaned closer to her elder sister and gave a soft tug on
Sophie’s shirt. “Who is she?”
Sophie shrugged. “I wouldn’t have a clue.” Then turned her attention
back on Mr. O’Connor and asked the same thing. “Who is she?”
The handsome attorney on the other side of the massive desk leaned
forward and rested his elbows on it before he started to repeat his earlier
speech. Although hearing his words, Sophie still found it all very hard to
comprehend. Here she was in this old office, furnished with heavy antique oak
furniture, the curtains in a pretty shade of aubergine, and the carpet beneath
her shoes thick and warm in a matching shade, hearing about an inheritance from
someone she’d never even heard of.
Startled by the subtle sound of the clock chiming across the road,
Sophie’s gaze turned to the window, where she saw the post office building
across the road. It looked impressive and old. It’d been only a few hours since
they’d arrived in Hobart, the most southern capital in Australia, but she
already liked it. A lot more than Sydney, the place she’d lived all her life.
Hauled back from her thoughts, she heard Mr. O’Connor say, “I
believe she was a distant relative of yours. I’m afraid I don’t have any
further details.”
Sophie arched an eyebrow in disbelief, doubting the accuracy of it
all. Not only did she try not to question his competence as a lawyer, but she also
hoped it wasn’t a dreadful misunderstanding.
With a slight shrug of her shoulder, she asked, “Why not?”
He met her gaze steadily. “Pardon me?”
Sitting up straight, she repeated, “Why not? Why aren’t there any
further details?”
He rubbed his chin with his fingers, his unease now obvious, and
although she almost felt sorry for him, she tried not to care. She needed to
know more. And not just the what, but why and who as well.

A few years ago, I
was lucky enough to travel to the Australian Outback. One night, we sat by the
campfire and with clear skies we were able to locate the Southern Cross, the
Milky Way, as well as planets that were only visible due to the clarity of the
atmosphere.
Since then I
consider “stargazing” as very romantic.
Thank you for sharing my romantic travel tip as well as my latest book on your blog today. :-)
