What the readers are saying…

"Barbara Freethy delivers stories that supply variety and suspense that keeps her readers from getting too comfortable and her stories from being redundant. If I Didn't Know Better has adventure, mystery and at the center of it all is family. This is a story of healing that brings hope, family and emotion along for the ride." Isha – Goodreads

"Another great read in this series! A true Callaway Series has all the fundamental of a great book. Humor, suspense, tenderness and romance. Loved all of it." Mary – Goodreads

"What better way to continue the Callaway saga than to also include our beloved Angels Bay. What better place for three souls to heal in the place where angels make miracles happen. Mia and Jeremy's story is fantastic. Suspenseful and yet romantic. You will definitely fall in love with the characters as well as the story." Mommymoose

"A story of love full of tenderness and understanding and the meeting of souls and hearts that need to be together. 5 Stars!" Cinthia - Goodreads

    Mia is an art gal and her late aunt was an art aficionado who leaves her home and studio to Miami. Jeremy has just taken custody of a daughter he didn’t know he had. Hard decisions, family, love, a little mystery and some interesting twists made this a fun read. One thing that would have been nice is to have heard how the stolen item was dealt with, but the ending slides over that part of the story. Still an entertains read.

    I enjoyed this book it was a very quick read and kept me wanting to find out more. I also liked that there was a child in it who had a personality and was one of the main characters. There were no writing mistakes as I’m one who reads each word carefully and notice those things. Great book to keep you reading!

    I loved this book about Mia Calloway & Jeremy who meet in Angel’s Bay. He is an injured soldier who found he has an 8 year old daughter who is traumatized since witnessing her mother’s death during a robbery‼️Mia has just suffered a break-up & the loss of her job as co-curator of an art museum & is there to clean out her beloved aunt’s home after her death ‼️. Ms Freethy writes about their meeting, their attraction & love of his little girl, her aunt’s many friends & the beautiful, small coastal town‼️. 😛The author grabs your attention from page one, fills those pages with strong characters, emotionally charged scenes, sexy romance, family love & a suspenseful mystery about a famous stolen painting❣️. Get your copy of this book - you’ll be mesmerized, intrigued & enjoy every moment reading this book about Mia, Jeremy & Ashlyn❣️. I gave it 5 stars - believe you’ll agree‼️❤️👏. Carol R. Florida USA

    I loved the setting this book took place in. My heart broke for young Ashlyn and her dad. The friendliness Mia encountered was heartwarming and the love she found feels so true. A perfect beach read.

    I really enjoyed this story. It starts off calm and then moves into a mystery. The ending was a surprise, but I don’t know if I agree with the decision that was made about the criminal.
