The Woman He Knows by Margaret Watson
The Devereux Family #2

Darcy Gordon has a secret that she has been keeping for the three years she has worked as a waitress at Mama’s Place. Darcy fears that Patrick Devereux, FBI agent, will find out what her secret is when he comes to take charge of the restaurant while his brother recuperates from a nasty accident. Nathan and Darcy are definitely attracted to one another but with a time limit of six weeks neither see anything long term happening between them...perhaps not even short term. Patrick realizes shortly after his return to Chicago that there is something wrong at Mama’s Place and as he begins to investigate strange things start happening that threaten not only the restaurant but Darcy and his family, too.

This is a fast-paced well-written and very interesting story that had me invested from beginning to end. I sometimes wanted to warn the characters in the book to be careful or be smarter or not do something...you know...like you do when watching a movie and you KNOW something is going to happen and hope it won’t. I enjoyed seeing the Devereux family again and truly enjoyed reading this second book in the series.

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
