About this ebook
Unlikely partners bound by circumstance…or by fate?
Being rescued by a good–looking, bad–boy firefighter isn't how Samantha Bennett expected to start her stay in Knights Bridge, Massachusetts. Now she has everyone's attention – especially that of Justin Sloan, her rescuer, who wants to know why she was camped out in an abandoned old New England cider mill.
Samantha is a treasure hunter who has returned to Knights Bridge to solve a 300–year–old mystery and salvage her good name. Justin remembers her well. He's the one who alerted her late mentor to her iffy past and got her fired. But just because he doesn't trust her doesn't mean he can resist her. Samantha is daring, determined, seized by wanderlust – everything that strong, stoic Justin never knew he wanted. Until now….
New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers' books have been called "riveting," "magical" and "stunningly effective." Now she returns to the lush Swift River Valley with the irresistible story of one woman's quest for treasure and redemption.
"[A] beautifully described tale that rewards readers with an intriguing mystery as well as a deliciously satisfying romance." – Library Journal on Secrets of the Lost Summer

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Author Carla Neggers continues her "Swift River Valley" series with Book Three, "Cider Brook", an adventurous tale sure to please lovers of romantic suspense. Treasure hunter Samantha Bennett makes an unexpected discovery while sorting through her late grandfather's vast, rambling collection of belongings--a painting of a New England cider mill and the rough draft of a manuscript. Intrigued, and unable to resist the mystery, Samantha finds herself returning to the site of the mill, Knights Bridge, Massachusetts, a town which for her, held unpleasant, unfriendly memories. Firefighter Justin Sloan, the owner of the mill, rescues a snooping Samantha when an electrical storm threatens the mill with fire. Justin will turn out to be part of the devastating experience Samantha encountered on her first visit to Knights Bridge, and reluctant, sparky attraction grows between them. Familiar family and friends from the first two books in the series add enjoyment to this story line featuring pirates and fair ladies, a centuries-old mystery and the promise of golden treasure. Involving and entertaining romantic suspense from talented author Carla Neggers.Review Copy Gratis Amazon Vine
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 STARSCider Brook is the #3 in Swift River Valley. I like Swift River Valley. There are a lot of characters from past books that are back.New characters. Small town life. Lots of secrets, romance, pirates. A welcoming feeling to the town.Samantha studies pirates. She is following clues to Knights Bridge. She has her Uncle & cousin drop her and her backpack in middle of town. She finds her way to old Cider Mill in bad weather and breaks in. Soon she realizes it is on fire.Justin is checking for damage when he sees the Mill on fire and his padlock off the door. He finds Samantha on the floor and gets her out in time.This is the second time Samantha has been to Knights Bridge. Last time someone saw her and talked to her new boss and she was fired for not revealing her secrets to him. Samantha does not lie but she is not forthcoming with everything either.Justin does not trust Samantha and he is having her watched. I really like Justin and Samantha's family they bring a lot of fun, and life to the story. Lots of family connections with the characters.I like how they share history of the area as part of mystery with each book and drama with modern day couples. It makes the book so much more. It does make me want to eat apples. I wonder what the next book in the series will be.Their is one love scene that I just skipped over.I will keep reading books by Carla Neggers in the future.I was given this ebook to review and asked in return to give honest review of it by Netgalley and Harlequin.publication: January 28th 2014 by Harlequin MIRA 384 pages ISBN9780778315889
