Secrets in Pelican Crossing


About the Book:

Divorced, frustrated by her daughter's matchmaking, and resigned to staying happily single, Liz Phillips thinks she has her life all figured out… until she meets Finn Hunter.

Having moved to Pelican Crossing twelve months earlier to support his daughter after a family tragedy, Finn finds himself juggling family obligations and a demanding job as the editor of the local paper. He has little time for romance.

When Liz and Finn’s paths cross, there’s an undeniable spark between them. They quickly form a connection which neither of them anticipates.

Amidst the whirlwind of their relationship, a secret from Liz’s past resurfaces, threatening the closeness she shares with her daughters. Having Finn to lean on is a godsend, but Finn is concealing a secret of his own. A secret that once revealed could undermine the trust and understanding they share and destroy any chance of a future together.

Can Liz find her happy ending or is she destined to face the future with only her family for company?

My Review:

Secrets in Pelican Crossing is the second book in the Pelican Crossing series. I enjoyed this book a lot. The story is multi-dimensional with complex situations and characters. Everything comes to life on the pages. Liz is a wonderful heroine with a past that finally comes calling. Finn is a wonderful hero who is introduced to Liz at just the right time - for both of them. The author did a terrific job writing strong characters, endearing families, conflict and complications, work-life balances and issues, and relationships. 

This is the second book of Maggie Christensen's that I've read and I can't wait to read more from this author. I loved her writing style, the setting she created in Pelican Bay, and stories woven throughout the novel. The author created a story with twists and turns, conflict, and a wonderful, mature romance.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.

Meet the Author:



After a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women’s fiction portraying mature women facing life-changing situations, and historical fiction set in her native Scotland. Her travels inspire her writing, be it her trips to visit family in Scotland, in Oregon, USA or her home on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Maggie writes of mature heroines coming to terms with changes in their lives and the heroes worthy of them. Maggie has been called the queen of mature age fiction and her writing has been described by one reviewer as like a nice warm cup of tea. It is warm, nourishing, comforting and embracing.

From the small town in Scotland where she grew up, Maggie was lured to Australia by the call to ‘Come and teach in the sun’. Once there, she worked as a primary school teacher, university lecturer and in educational management. Now living with her husband of over thirty years on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, she loves walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them – her idea of heaven!
