Brenda Novak Bio

Join Brenda Novak's Online Book Group on Facebook-- http://www.facebook.com/groups/brendanovaksbookgroup/. We’re currently reading THE TRUE COWBOY OF SUNSET RIDGE by Maisey Yates. Get an autographed copy in one of Brenda’s popular Book Boxes: http://www.brendanovakstore.com/.

It was a shocking experience that jump-started Brenda Novak's career as a bestselling author--she caught her day-care provider drugging her children with cough syrup to get them to sleep all day. That was when Brenda decided she needed to quit her job as a loan officer and help make a living from home.

"When I first got the idea to become a novelist, it took me five years to teach myself the craft and finish my first book," Brenda says. But she sold that book, and the rest is history. Her novels have made the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists and won many awards, including eight Rita nominations, the Book Buyer's Best, the Book Seller's Best, the Silver Bullet and the National Reader's Choice Award.

Brenda and her husband, Ted, live in Sacramento and are proud parents of five children--three girls and two boys. When she's not spending time with her family or writing, Brenda is usually raising funds for diabetes research (her youngest son has this disease). So far, Brenda has raised $2.6 million!

What did I just read?

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021

There have been a few books in this series that were a miss for me, but this one is just weird. I loved Cheyenne in her own book and her relationship with Presley. In this book we see Presley as a single mom and trying to build a new life for her and her son. I would have really liked this book if all the main characters, minus Dylan, didn’t act like 12 year olds.

Presley continues to hide her son from his father because of some weird conceived notion that she knows what’s best for him, despite not speaking to him for two years. Aaron also continues to act like a child. He continues in this book to hold animosity towards Dylan for taking care of him and stepping into a parental role. I would have loved to see how they both overcame their addictions and learned how to develop healthy loving relationships with others. Instead they continue to act like angsty teens and not be able to communicate their feelings like adults.

As for the subplot with Cheyenne I will just say this, that whole storyline is beyond repulsive and annoying. Cheyenne’s decision making and defense of those decisions makes no sense and it’s beyond frustrating as a reader to have an author expect you to go along with it. Not only that, but Presley’s immediate agreement with her sisters plot ruined her redemption arc for me since she continues to keep lies that could ruin other peoples lives. I wish I could separate those parts from this book but honesty even without it Presley and Aaron just don’t show much connection to each other or growth as individuals.

2 ½ stars. Main plot based on secret baby. Not a good plot for me.

I’m really enjoying this series, but four of the books (#3, 4, 6 and 7) have the main character keeping a secret for most of the book as the main plot. I did not care for those. This book again uses secrets as the main plot: Presley has a baby and does not tell the father. Chey starts a lie and keeps a secret from her loving husband.

It’s mostly angst about telling lies and keeping secrets. Nothing else was going on that surprised or delighted me. There is a happy romantic ending for Presley but it was weak.

DATA:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Swearing language: strong, but rarely used. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: about 2 plus another 3 referred to with no details. Setting: current day mostly small town Whiskey Creek, California. Copyright: 2014. Genre: contemporary romance.

------------------------------------------------
THE SERIES:
This is book #6 in the Whiskey Creek series. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but there is a flow of characters through the books which makes it nice if read in order. Here are my ratings for them.

My Favorites (4 ½ or more stars):
#0.5 When We Touch - 102 page novella
#1 When Lightning Strikes
#5 Take Me Home For Christmas
#8 This Heart of Mine

2nd choice (3 ½ stars):
#9 A Winter Wedding
#2 When Snow Falls - It was hard to feel hope or anticipation. Chey would not allow herself to act on her feelings. She kept her feelings “secret” for most of the book.

3rd choice:
The main plot was one character keeping a “secret” for most of the book. I did not enjoy the lies. In some stories I did not like the reasons for keeping the secret.
2 ½ stars. #3 When Summer Comes
2 stars. #4 Home to Whiskey Creek
2 ½ stars. #6 Come Home to Me - secret baby
3 stars. #7 The Heart of Christmas - Hero is on the run from bad guys. When heroine asked questions he could have answered in generic terms but he was silent. That didn’t feel right to me.

Not a good addition to the series at all.

If you have never read a Whiskey Creek book and this was your first, do not be put off reading some of the earlier books which are so far above this one in plot, romance, characters - basically everything - they shouldn't be missed. But this one, yikes, it just wasn't good. I read all the way to the end hoping against all hope that they wouldn't go through with the sickening sub plot, at least without telling Dylan about it, but they did, and all I have to say is that it did not inspire me to ever want to read another novel by this author. The subplot is the kind of thing you see on Maury and say to yourself, what were these people thinking when they thought "this" (being vague so as not to include spoiler), was OK?

The main character Presley was good, but everything about her back story was totally vague - how did she get through rehab, her pregnancy, etc, by herself - who were her friends back where she moved from - no idea as no one was mentioned. Everyone has someone in their lives when they have moved away for 2 years. Aaron's recovery was vague too, and he was a little wishy washy for a hero too.

Then they made Riley into a bit of a d*ck, so if there's a future book about him I'm not going to want to read it now they did that.

So, we have a back story that wasn't even there, a sub plot that was HORRIBLE (!!!!!) and a romance that was lack lustre, I'm just glad someone gave me an Amazon gift card so that I didn't really spend my own money on this.

Previous books in the series have centered on a group of characters who were friends and those books have all been either excellent or very good - this one stepped outside that circle and fell flat.

What? They did what? Seriously?!
I hated this book. The characters were selfish and the betrayal was too deep. I won't be reading further. I went from liking this author to wondering what was going on step by step with each progressive book and this installment was basically the last straw.
I mean a loving wife deceives her husband by buying a home insemination kit so she can have his brothers sperm implanted? lol behind her husbands back? Just to have a baby? This us not something I would of expected from the characters and honestly? I won't bother to continue.
