Deleted: Jackson and Maggie is the second book in the
Cliffside Bay series by Tess Thompson. All of Jackson Waller’s dreams have come
true, well most of them. He has finished medical school and taking over his
father’s practice in their small town. Despite his success, one dream will
never come true. His high school sweetheart, Maggie Keene, died in a car
accident shortly after high school and he has never moved on. Maggie despised
her dad, unable to forgive him for the death of her mother, and after a fight
with Jackson, she fled Cliffside Bay to pursue her dreams in New York City.
Many years later, she learns her father is dying and has asked her home. Once
she comes home, she discovers her own grave! Her father faked her death and he
made her she thought the town had turned against her. Jackson and Maggie must
now wade through the river of lies and betrayals to find peace and love again.
As they rekindle their romance, Maggie learns there are still many more secrets
to be reveal.
Deleted is a sweet, funny, and dramatic continuation
to the series. It is a simple read in the sense that the story so easily flows
from the page and the reader is swept away by the characters, the action, and
the beautiful setting. I loved Maggie’s fire and determination to get the truth
from her father and reclaim the life stolen from her. I loved Jackson’s heart
and commitment to his hometown as well as his undying love for Maggie. All the
characters, good, bad, and ugly helped drive the drama and humor. I look
forward to reading the rest of the series. The Cliffside Bay series is billed
that each book is a standalone; however, I feel the books should be read in
order because references from the first book were made in Deleted and I
feel the rest of the books are similar in their references that the reader
wouldn’t understand if read out of order. I highly recommend Deleted.
