II thought I would share a new book called Main Street (Providence Island Book 1) by Dianna Wilkes (Author) I was blessed to receive a PDF copy of in exchange for this review. Inside this post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
As soon as I saw the cover to this book I knew it would be a place I would like to visit. Just look at the pretty houses in the background and those tress wouldn’t they be a nice place to sit under and read a book or two with your favorite beverage. Or as a place to sit and chat with a friend or two. Wouldn’t you like to come with me?
Main Street is the first in a new series of five yes, you heard me 5 books by author Dianna Wilkes. Let me tell you after getting stuck watching series on tv for days on end I didn’t want to get tied up with a series of any kind but after reading this novel I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series and find out who the killer was because this book did leave a lot of questions unanswered which might turn some people off but not me.
Dana is an older recent widow who is not only dealing with the loss of her husband but also the loss of her life as she knows it. Her son has gone missing, by choice. She has no idea of where he is or why he decided to leave, but every day she hopes to hear from him and is determined not to give up until she does.
Dana Canfield never expected to become a widow or have her husband murdered and she is determined to rebuild her life. Dana moves her Interior design business to Providence Island off the coast of Virginia. Dana has a close call with an out-of-control driver on her very first day which would appear harmless enough but when secrets from the past are revealed, Dana soon realizes that maybe it was no accident.
Dana falls in love with her new home and Nick Warden, a local garage owner, and former cop. When Dana’s BMW convertible catches Nick’s eye, Dana thinks it’s funny. Not long after Dana finds out that Nick is interested in her car, she comes to understands that he is more interested in her. The budding relationship is going well until Nick becomes concerned over a series of strange and terrifying incidents plaguing Dana. How many of the odd occurrences are connected to her late husband’s murder?
I enjoyed the romance and suspense inside the novel with a touch of mystery thrown in. For me I would say Main Street (Providence Island Book 1) by Dianna Wilkes is more for women so I didn’t share the book with Charlie or David but I bet some men would enjoy the story especially the car Dana drives. I hope you pick up not only a copy of this book but all 5 of the books and that you share them with your friends and family.
About the book:

Some of those secrets followed her to Providence Island. And some were waiting there for her.

Nick and Dana’s relationship leaps from zero to sixty, but danger’s not far behind. Can they solve a quarter-century-old mystery before it’s too late?
A charming small-town mystery with more twists than a scenic country road
