In the small, sleepy Southern town of Paradise, not everything is as it seems. Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, the tiny country town seems like it would be the perfect spot to raise a family, build a life and enjoy living in what most natives call ‘God’s Country’. What no one seems to realize is that there are secrets hiding in the families of this quaint little community – especially the McKinnon clan.
And everyone knows, in a family, secrets never stay secret for long.
“Another Hit, if you love romance and action this book is for you. As a Wife of a U.S.Marine veteran I highly recommend this book. LOVE LOVED IT. I ALWAYS LOVE THIS AMAZING AUTHOR!!!” ~ Cain’s Salvation from an Amazon Reviewer
“To wrap this up before I get to chatty... this was 153 (Kindle version) pages long and I'm fairly certain if I was left alone with no interruptions I would have finished this in one afternoon. The pacing if ideal, the tale was effortless to read, and the anxiety build up to the climax was superb! Can't wait to find out who the next book is about!” ~ Cain’s Salvation from Rough Draft Book Blog
“LOVED this book! LOVED the first book and this one was even better! Jake was this bad-ass that flew into town like he was going to turn everything upside down. It was so good to see what a good woman could finally do to him. A man that looked to have no heart at all….. This series is one to read! One to put on your TBR and to continue to follow.. Sarah is an amazing author! And I am so glad I had a chance to read this!! Thank you Sarah! <3 I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!” ~ Hard as Stone from Book Worms
“So I finished reading Hard as Stone yesterday and I have to say... Wow! Just wow! I thought Cain's Salvation was good, but the McKinnon sisters and their men kept me on the edge of my seat and my face shoved in my kindle for two days. I absolutely love this series and I can't WAIT for Ready, Willing, and Abel….” ~Hard as Stone from Amazon Reviewer

5 Stars
Cain’s Salvation:
It starts with Cain and Faith’s love story. And what a story it is. Cain is a Doctor in the Army stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan. What he deals with over there is what causes him to break up with her before his return home. She promised to wait for him, he promised to give her forever. Will the war come between them or will they find their way back to each other? It doesn’t disappoint, you’ll laugh and cry so have the tissues ready. You will be left wanting more.
Hard as Stone:
Jacob Stone (Jake “The Widowmaker” Stone) worked 22 years for the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). You couldn’t see and do what he did for a living without things weighing heavily on your conscience. He’s after his sister’s killer(s).
Harmony McKinnon, divorced single mom and eldest McKinnon sister. Works at the family restaurant.
It’s love at first sight for Jake when he ends up at the restaurant in Paradise, and Harmony waits on him. He’s new to town and has a story all of his own. Trying to find out more about her. When all hell breaks loose. How will it end?
I will let you find this out for yourself. I can say that this is a great series so far. And I will be getting the next book(s). I love the characters. I think you will too.

All books in the series are STANDALONE
***
Cain’s Salvation (Book One, Passion in Paradise series)
STANDALONE. When Dr. Cain Turner's life was literally blown apart in a small province of Afghanistan, it was only the hope and memories of one woman that propelled him forward. But there were more demons to face.
In the small country hamlet of Paradise, Tennessee...Faith waits. But all she gets is one hastily written break-up letter that shatters her to the core. Surrounded by her loving sisters, Faith McKinnon had faced her own demons, having thought that the love of her life had deserted her. But fate...and a few meddling McKinnon sisters...conspired to bring the two star-crossed lovers together again.
Will Cain ever be able to win Faith again? Will Faith be able to trust Cain after the horrible way he deserted her? Can their love for each other overcome the hurts that each has suffered?
***
Hard as Stone (Book Two, Passion in Paradise series)
STANDALONE. Jacob Stone is an undercover DEA Agent dead-set on getting vengeance for his sister’s death. When his sources tell him that the drug dealer he’s been searching for will soon be setting up a distribution center in the seemingly innocent town of Paradise, he moves in for the kill.
What Jake wasn’t counting on, however, was falling in love with gorgeous Harmony McKinnon – the ex-wife of the man he was determined to eliminate.
Harmony never believed she’d find love again....not after the horrors she lived through with her ex-husband. When she meets secretive Jacob Stone and soon falls in love, she never expected that her life would be in danger again...or that the man she’d come to trust would betray her.
Can Jake make Harmony understand his motives? Can Harmony trust him in spite of the past? Will they have their happily ever after?
I sort of stumbled onto this series and I’m so glad I found it!!! I really fell in love with both books and the characters we fun to read!! I don’t think there’s anything I didn’t like really!! Definitely worth the buy!!
