A story about love in all its forms and the wonderful, devastating, life-altering things done in its name.
A catastrophe forces Jocelyn Durand, the author of a decades-old and quite accidental publishing one-hit-wonder, to meet her idol, best-selling suspense writer Asher Cray. Each harbors a literary crush on the other, but if gossip rags are to be believed, Asher is a philandering charmer and more than the naïve Jocelyn could ever hope to handle. Still, while social media has labeled him a notorious Lothario, they might have the story all wrong. Regardless, those rumors are the least of Asher’s worries compared to the horrific case of writer’s block hounding him.
Sparks fly between the two would-be wordsmiths, but uprooted nightmarish memories and a revolving door of uninvited visitors create plot twists no one sees coming, threatening the pairs’ less-than-storybook romance and upending the Durand siblings’ long-held beliefs. Happily-ever-after means the insulated Jocelyn and her stalwart sister must confront a wiped-away past, recognizing monsters come in unexpected forms, and maybe they aren’t all bad—a daunting task one wickedly hot Hamptons summer in a very crowded house when everyone’s personal histories blur the lines between fact and fiction.
A Very Crowded House is book 2 in the Found Families series, and this book is filled with so many twists and turns that you won't want to put it down. There are family secrets, uninvited guests, and so much more. I loved the characters right from the go, and thought this book was very entertaining. If you enjoyed Tex Miller is Dead, I think you will enjoy this one as well. They are very different books, but there are some cross over characters which I liked. Devon's Book Corner
A Very Crowded House, book two of Kelly Elizabeth Huston’s Found Families Series is filled with twists and turns, uninvited guests, and unraveling family secrets. Like in her debut novel “Tex Miller is Dead,” Huston’s humor sneaks through the pages as her characters occupy Jocelyn’s family home in the Hamptons that summer.
Simmers with tension that made me want to know what happened next! Loved the flawed, but intriguing characters, struggling to give themselves the grace to love and be loved. Btw, who wouldn’t love a little Asher Cray in their life!?!
