The Ripple Effect by Maggie North is a current romantic novel with some twists and turns. This is a second book following Rules for Second Chances, but can be read without the knowledge of the prior novel. The novel introduces us to Lyle ‘McHuge’ McHugh and Stellar J Byrd, two opposites.
Lyle ‘McHuge’ McHugh is the part owner of a new venture called The Love Boat. The venture is a cross between relationship therapy and White water canoeing. The “campers” spend time in the morning setting goals, then time on the river with kayaks and then dinner and more time together. Lyle has poured his heart into this. The camp desperately needs a Doctor onboard. They hire ER Physician (who is burnt out) Stellar J Byrd. She of course thinks she can avoid Lyle while working there (LOL) since there was a moment between them.
Meanwhile, someone is working behind the scenes giving out information to others who keep “showing up” and ruining the day. Lyle and Stellar end up pretending to be fiances, but they are not, which adds an awkward twist to their relationship. Information is sparingly given out which begins to make the reader curious about what is really going on. There are many twists and turns, even an attempt at dog kidnapping.
The novel is a quick read with interesting situations and fun characters. The Ripple Effect by Maggie North is a good read.
This book comes out on the 17th of June.
