My Review

Twists, turns, and romance. This book has it all! Knowing Vera by Rachelle Ayala keeps us on our toes, wondering who the “bad guy” really is. This is the third in the Chance for Love Series, but it is the first that I’ve read. So, it can be read as a stand alone story.

Rachelle Ayala spins a tale of betrayal so deep that you don’t know who to trust. Vera must ultimately figure out on her own what is real and what is a lie. This book kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.

A trip to Australia to get more answers, and the flight even includes an sexy little encounter in the restroom. So much happens in Australia, that it’s difficult to figure out who is telling the truth. The way Ms. Ayala weaves the story gives us just a hint of what’s to come, then throws a curveball from out of nowhere. I love the suspense. I am not a fan of Cliff…I’m just saying!

While reading, I was really hoping Zach and Vera would find their way to each other (or back to each other) after all was said and done. Just know that there is a ton of action and suspense while Vera is trying to get her answers. Watch as Vera follows her heart, learns the truth and gets her happily ever after. The story is so well written that it was hard to put down.

Oh, and you won’t want to miss the romantic scenes on the deserted island. 😉

A little romance, a lot of suspense, and family loyalty. Knowing Vera has it all and more.
