I have loved every book in this Bree Taggert series. I have also enjoyed the author’s Morgan Dane and Scarlet Falls series which are very loosely related to this one. They are earlier but do not need to be read first. Drown Her Sorrows focuses on a complex case and Bree’s expanding relationships. I am […]

Our main characters are Jackie and Avery. […]
