Everything Happens for a Reason
(The Hamptons Book 1)
Shaken from the sudden death of her mother, Poppy Jackson’s only light amidst all the darkness is the prospect of embarking on an exciting new career with major investment stockbrokers Hawkins, Munroe and Sable, working as PA to the amiable Greg Sable.
The company’s Annual Conference is a big deal in the stock broking world and though keen to impress, Poppy’s focus wavers at the appearance of the cheeky Oliver Sullivan. After a rocky start, an unexpected romance begins to bloom. Can their love overcome their conflicting backgrounds? And how will Poppy cope when tragedy strikes a second time?
Meanwhile, having made the shocking discovery of his real birth father’s identity, Richard Jones decides to earn the right to take control of the family business and not just because he’d inherited it. His mother, however, is growing increasingly frustrated at his refusal to step up. Itching to put her own plans into progress she increases the pressure, completely oblivious to the consequences.
Curl up and relax with this tale of love, loss and everything in between, and watch as the worlds of Poppy and Richard are drawn together in a twist of fate, proving that everything really does happen for a reason…
From Mrs.D
I was given this moving book by the author, and boy, I wasn’t disappointed. It is a very relaxing and captivating read, with good, developed characters, like those we meet daily. The main character, Poppy, reminded me of young women I’d already met at some point in my life.
Poppy tried to live her life like every other ambitious young woman who dares to reach for her star. Smart and driven, she tried to balance her life between her career and her private life. Just as in reality, there are many struggles and successes, losses and loves, and unhealed wounds and painful memories of her past. Luckily for her, she has great people in her life that she can trust and who support her completely.
Tina-Marie Miller did superb work in creating her characters. It was a smart strategy to show readers the city and country life that many readers could relate to. At first the story appears as a charismatic and loving fantasy, but its innocence soon disappears and the sweet illusion is crushed by the disturbing events and tragedies. I admit this story kept me wondering what would happen in the end, but I’m not willing to share my thoughts; each reader must find it for themselves…
Tina-Marie Miller is a UK based author and writer of women's fiction. Having previously enjoyed a successful career working for a number of blue chip organisations based in London and the Home Counties, Tina-Marie now lives in a small village in South Cornwall where she spends her time reading, writing, meditating and walking along the idyllic Cornwall coasts.
She enjoys nothing more than curling up with a good book and a cup of tea (or a glass of red!), and losing herself in tales of love, life and laughter.
