Things aren't what they seem

I received this ARC in return for an honest voluntary review.
This story has so many issues that it tackles - suicide, murder, trust, racism, love, loyalty - the list goes on and on.
Mark, Jace and vann are three ex-SEALS who have started a company -Brothers-In-Arms.  They teach others how to survive.  They recently suffered the loss of two of their employees, also ex-SEALS who committee suicide, but neither of the three SEALS thinks that it was suicide,
Enter  Geneva a reporter sent to find out why suicide is so prevalent.
When Geneva and Mark meet its explosive.  Both are attracted to each other but try to fight it.
This story definitely has a strong romance between Geneva and Mark but there is also the mystery of did the SEALS committed suicide and who is trying to hurt Mark?
I like this book and the author's writing keeps the reader involved but I wasn't thrilled by how it ended.  It was a cliffhanger to some extent.  I am hoping another book is coming that will answers the questions the first one didn't.
Would recommend this.

This book requires paying attention but as the story moves forward you will find yourself wondering how it can all come together.

Just because things look one way doesn't mean that isn't the way they actually are... Sometimes we just need to hear the truth even if we don't want to. And sometimes people come back into our lives so that we can find the closure we need to be able to find the peace we've been searching for. This is truly a one of a kind, and I wasn't able to put it down until I finished it!

This was a surprise. I was expecting one thing and got something quite different. Although it did not meet my expectations, I think that is not the fault of the story or the writing.

the author reminds us that life is never what we would like it to be, but rather a mix of good and bad, ups and downs. no matter how hard we try we rarely have any control of life's outcomes.

But not at all what I expected. When I began to read it I thought it was going to be some sort of supernatural take about the daughter they had lost. But it turned out to be a story about two people who were miserable together.

Layers of mystery. The weather changes by the minute.

In what initially seems to be a little story, there is loneliness, greed, hope, loss, opportunity, and an ethics dilemma.  Two men who would be socially snubbed or ignored have the same weighty issues that everyone works through.  I don't want to give away the cosmic rewards, but I was surprised.

"Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many." - Phaedrus. A quick read that I could not put down thanks to the writing talents of Lori Beninger. The author takes you back in time as she describes her childhood starting in the 50s and reveals a life that few people realized was actually happening inside her outwardly idyllic American family.

Very enjoyable read.  Not everything is as it seems.  Never jump to conclusions.

I'm not sure what I expected from this book but it wasn't this!  An intriguing book with a plot line I didn't see coming.

They all find out the guys are not always who you think they are. But it's not always a bad think either.

Hard to tell sometimes but the predicaments and adventures will keep you guessing and wondering what could possibly be next.
