The one woman he truly wants, though, turns him down at every opportunity. Physician assistant Faith Hayes has escaped a painful past to build a safe, settled life in Peaceful Harbor, and she has channeled what she learned into founding Women Against Cheaters, an online support group. So when her boss's sinfully handsome brother sets his sights on her, she recognizes a self-professed player as exactly the kind of man she should avoid, and she is determined to resist. Sam refuses to be dismissed, pulling out every stop to prove that his reputation doesn't have to define his future. As Faith lowers her guard and begins to trust him, their charged conversations give way to real intimacy and something neither expected to find. But when the pasts they have both worked to outrun catch up with them, the fragile trust between them is tested, and it's Faith who is left with something to prove.

Nastya was once bound for a career as a concert pianist; a traumatic event she refuses to discuss left her hand too damaged to ever play again and took her voice along with it — she hasn't spoken a word in more than a year. Starting over in a new town, she means to keep her past buried and everyone else at a distance.\n\nJosh Bennett, seventeen and just as alone, has lost every person in his family and lives by himself in the house they left behind, keeping the world out through sheer discipline. When Nastya insinuates herself into his life anyway, the two form a bond built less on explanation than on the shared relief of being around someone who doesn't ask questions — until the pull between them makes the questions impossible to keep avoiding.\n\nTold in a deliberately slow, introspective register, The Sea of Tranquility is a coming-of-age novel about trauma, grief, and the long, halting work of learning to trust another person again.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kvra4btz80ymtdcyxt7gf854.jpg?v=134748176a","LSI#r*j[00j[00RjIUxt~qRj%Ms:",426,[648],{"id":649,"slug":650,"name":651},"01kvra4bvascq6a6bfzhvwsjgp","katja-millay-pkyo","Katja Millay",[653,657,658,659],{"id":654,"name":655,"slug":656,"is_fiction":21},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":301,"name":302,"slug":303,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":576,"complexity":7,"audience":662,"mood":663,"themes":665,"setting_period":7,"summary":666,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[664,102,578,190],"sad",[580,105],"Two and a half years after a devastating, still-unexplained tragedy left her hand ruined and her voice silent, former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov starts over at a new high school determined to keep everyone at arm's length.

Smaller and more physically fragile than the warriors around her, Violet is given almost no chance of surviving the first day, let alone graduating.\n\nTo live, she'll have to outthink opponents who could snap her in half, earn the respect of a dragon that could incinerate her on a whim, and navigate the lethal politics of a college where ambition is settled with blades. Chief among the threats is Xaden Riorson, the brooding, dangerous wingleader whose father was executed for leading a rebellion against Violet's mother—giving him every reason to want her dead.\n\nBut as the war beyond Navarre's borders grows harder to ignore and the kingdom's defenses begin to fail, Violet starts to suspect that the leadership is hiding the truth about what's really happening on the front lines. The first book in Rebecca Yarros's Empyrean series, Fourth Wing pairs a deadly dragon-rider academy with a slow-burning, high-heat romance and a mystery that reframes everything Violet thought she knew.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kjq7kzcw1nacfmd7xk4f9cca_6a267d220e5fa.jpg?v=3d0d631368","L8F65-M|_29GITM_IA%LogRi~qV@","4.63",27,530,[974],{"id":975,"slug":976,"name":977},"01kjq72kz9wcx9k8sqtw939y97","rebecca-yarros-ahwz","Rebecca Yarros",[979,983,984,985],{"id":980,"name":981,"slug":982,"is_fiction":21},23,"Romantasy","romantasy",{"id":97,"name":854,"slug":855,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":986,"name":987,"slug":988,"is_fiction":21},20,"High Fantasy","high-fantasy",[990],{"id":991,"slug":992,"name":993,"position":220,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7kzg3hz76xmyhvkwbq9d3","the-empyrean-vykb","The Empyrean",{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":995,"themes":996,"setting_period":7,"summary":997,"content_warnings":7},[409,100,481],[525],"Yirmi yaşındaki Violet Sorrengail, Yazıcılar Birliği'nde sakin bir hayat sürmeyi beklerken, general olan annesi onu ejderha binicilerinin acımasız dünyasına sokar.

His neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire famous for the lavish parties he throws every weekend, though almost no one knows where his fortune came from or what he truly wants.\n\nThrough Nick, we learn that Gatsby's glittering displays are all in service of a single obsession: Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved before the war and who is now married to the wealthy, brutish Tom Buchanan. As Nick is drawn into the tangled lives of the East Egg and West Egg elite, the distance between old money and new, between illusion and reality, becomes impossible to bridge.\n\nF.

J. Eckleburg, the valley of ashes — have become part of the language, and its story of longing, class, and self-invention remains one of the most enduring in American literature.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hf6gv7fy0wsfvyj48kyt.jpg","LEI4;ktT?dMb0DNFR%%ND-RMNMOb",1925,"4.07",21,[1110],{"id":1111,"slug":1112,"name":1113},"01kjq7ncwv2mv5skbjcyd77dvs","f-scott-fitzgerald-mpl7","F.

What begins as a tidy arrangement grows complicated as conference travel, lab politics, and Adam's unexpected steadiness start to blur the line between performance and feeling.\n\nAli Hazelwood's debut is a warm, funny STEM rom-com about a heroine who trusts her hypotheses more than her heart, and the grumpy academic who makes her want to revise them.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6rw4ba9ygc3pb0f3vam5a.jpg","LVFQF2}@JBIq0f9as,%2k?o~RPRP","4.03",395,[1136],{"id":818,"slug":819,"name":820},[1138,1139,1140],{"id":148,"name":149,"slug":150,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},[1142],{"id":1143,"slug":1144,"name":1129,"position":220,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkd35sc8f9evpt2f7t5cevqg","the-love-hypothesis-t2ry",{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":1146,"themes":1147,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[357,100,162],[1148,359],"fake-dating",[1150],{"id":1151,"slug":1152,"title":1153,"user":1154,"work_id":4,"is_draft":20,"verified_reader":21,"featured":20,"body":1161,"overall_rating":36,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":1162,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":1163,"like_count":18,"comment_count":18,"top_likers":1164,"viewer_can_reply":20,"created_at":1165,"updated_at":1165},"01kxq2afdj4t2sxvab576zspf3","review-of-river-of-love-by-nadene","Review of \"River of Love\" by nadene",{"id":1155,"name":1156,"username":1157,"avatar_url":1158,"is_system":20,"published_reviews_count":1159,"books_read_count":1160},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837," \n \nI received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own\n \nThere are a few authors whose novels can keep me glued to the pages. Melissa Foster falls into that category.  (There may be one or two that falls through the cracks). The portrayal of her characters and the emotions they elicit as a result makes for a compelling read.  ‘River of Love’ was no exception.\nWho would have thought that Sam Braden, the consummate playboy would be brought to his knees by the very thing he did not believe in, LOVE?  This is what happened when he met Faith Hayes. He first met Faith when he visited his brother’s (Cole) office.  Since then he has found every excuse to go back just to see her.  However, Faith would not give him the time of day because of his playboy reputation.  Sam is not the type to give up and so he was not about to stop until he broke down all the barriers she had built around her heart.\n \nFaith was attracted to Sam; however, she was not willing to give into her feelings. She was recovering from a break-up that emotionally devastated her.  As a result, she started an online support group called ‘Women Against Cheater’ (WAC).  She believed Sam was a cheater and so she was reluctant to trust him with her heart. Will Sam be able to convince her that he is a changed man and that she is the only woman he wants?\n \nConnecting with the characters was easy, which is no less than I expected from the author. I could relate to Faith on so many levels. (It’s quite ironic that her name is Faith.) Having been hurt in the past makes it difficult to trust your heart to someone else. The healing process takes time and if the other party is not patient, then things will not work out.  Patience is an important ingredient for love and Sam demonstrated this on all levels.  Right then and there I knew he was genuine in his feelings for Faith.  He was willing to wait for her to trust that he would not intentionally hurt her.  If only she would have faith and seize what belongs to her.\n \n“Cheating is a cognitive, willful act, a decision someone makes knowing the pain they’ll cause to their partner”.\n \nI found the story engaging. It conveyed a range of emotions. I laughed, especially at the antics of Sam and his brothers. The interaction between Sam and Faith was heartfelt. I could not help but root for them at every page turn. I was eager to see how things would unfold. I must confess that there were times I jumped ahead just so I see what was going to happen.\n \nMs. Foster has proven once again why she is on my list of read authors.  ‘River of Love’ is a story about family, friendships, love, healing and trust.  It demonstrates that at times we have to be willing to take risks no matter how painful to realise our dreams. I enjoyed this installment and I recommend it to fans of contemporary romance.\n \nN.B. Although River of Love is a part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone.","none","rv-01kxq2afdj4t2sxvab576zspf3",[],"2026-07-17T03:36:02.000000Z"]
