User reviews
Secrets at Cedar Cabin is focused on Bailey Fleming and Lance Phoenix (don’t you just love that name!). On the run following her mom’s murder, Bailey winds up in Lavender Tides, a town she has never heard of, but promises answers to long held questions. Hunky FBI agent Lance soon makes his appearance and the suspense and romance heightens. These two characters will steal your heart, but you will also love how Coble integrates all the other beloved characters from the series and the twisting threads that seem to lead nowhere. As always, Coble delivers an adrenaline-laced roller coaster ride for her characters and her readers. Bailey is one of the most resourceful heroines that I have read — and the trouble she finds herself in is all too real. Human trafficking is shown in all of its degradation and hopelessness, but is never graphically portrayed. Its depiction certainly opened this reader’s eyes to the real threat all around us. Faith is an important part of the characters’ lives and is also shown in a realistic manner. Do they ever doubt or despair? Yes, but God never lets them down. The coastal and mountain regions of Washington State are vivid settings for this book — Coble has made them bucket list destinations.
Secrets at Cedar Cabin is the perfect ending to a great series. And you must begin at book 1, The View from Rainshadow Bay, to get the whole experience. Lucky for you, all are available for some great binge-reading!

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
The Lavender Tides series has very engaging and entertaining stories that include the first two books titled, The View of Rainshadow Bay and The
In this third installment, readers will enjoy Bailey Fleming’s character. It was very intriguing how Bailey lives her life knowing one mother and moving all the time through her character’s experiences. Some facets of the many threads regarding Bailey, Grayson and Shauna revealed in the first two books yet in the end of this third book more are revealed that tie up the mystery.
Bailey’s life is radically changed with the information about who she really is and what happened decades ago. Bailey believes no one knows where she came from and can hide at a cabin reinventing herself. The truth unravels when FBI agent Lance Phoenix starts poking in her life. There are thrills as well as danger that is faced by many characters that seem to hint to who is the main culprit to what happened to Bailey, the mother she thought she knew and the man to whom she was once married.
The novel is riveting and climactic and will entertain readers for hours. Collen Coble knows how to grab a reader and pull them into her books and keep them there till the very end! I have read a lot of her books and recommend those looking for a solid story, believable characters, faith, romance, suspense and so much more to look Collen’s way! You won’t be disappointed and I dare say you’ll want to read more coming from her pen in the near future!
