Where Little House on the Prairie meets Gone With The Wind ... HIS FACE DARKENED. "HAS HE KISSED YOU YET?"
Men will die for Breelan Dunnigan. The heart-wrenching romance and unexpected drama don't stop until the last page of The Goodbye Lie, Jane Marie Malcolm's first installment in her mystery-romance series, set in 1882 on Florida's Amelia Island. An aspiring writer, Breelan is literally swept away, first by a tornado at the beach and then a handsome stranger, who steps into her life and into her soul. Escape to New York City brings new love, but when Breelan returns to her small town island home in the deep South, her existence has turned upside down. Strong Irish bonds and values are soon pitted against passion, jealousy and murder in this richly ripe saga. Readers will rejoice in the clever twists of plot. Abundantly layered personalities, late Victorian conventions and gentle humor flavor up this mix of epic romance, treachery and glory. This is only the beginning of The Goodbye Lie series as it continues with Amelia Island's Velvet Undertow and Amelia Island's Mark of a Man, more Fernandina fancies ...

From the Author

I now understand the definition of a labor of love. Discovering the personalities of the Irish Dunnigan family, the players in my Goodbye Lie series set on historic Amelia Island, Florida, has been all-enveloping. As I walk the beach, with the Atlantic Ocean's cool waters washing over my feet, Breelan and Carolina and Pat and Marie, the siblings featured in the novels, whisper their secrets in the passing sea breeze. I can't help but listen as they tell their stories. Sometimes they call me out for sharing too many of their personal details, but then understand the necessity of it. Without those details, they would hold far less interest for me or my readers. Their actions and reactions, their deeds and misdeeds are the result of deep and sometimes dark developments in their lives. I am fascinated, intrigued and just plain curious as to where their whispers will lead me, and in turn, the reader. Please join our band of beloved friends, the Dunnigans of Amelia Island. - Jane Marie Malcolm

THE GOODBYE LIE, the first of a series, is an engaging story from Jane Marie Malcolm. I look forward to the next, VELVET UNDERTOW, which will revolve around Breelan's sister, Carolena.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely A Must Read Book ! By Blue Sparrow Format:Paperback WOW! I didn't see ANY of that coming! Finally a book I DIDN'T have figured out half way through!

I just knew this book was going to be different and worth the wait, and it didn't disappoint me.

The characters have depth. No one is ALL good or ALL bad. They are likeable, lovable, and detestable.

I thought only real life could have so many unexpected twists and turns.

Jane Marie is a master with words. She really brought me into the story and made me feel a part of the action.

A Delightful Surprise By J. R. Harkins Format:Paperback This book was recommended to me by someone very familiar with the genre. Since I'm not a fan of romance novels, I started it prepared to be underwhelmed. Another "bodice ripper," I thought. Instead I found myself quickly drawn into the intriguing characters, the interesting plot, and the history of the times. This author has found a style and tempo that is both arresting and entertaining. I urge readers to take the time to read "The Goodbye Lie." . It is the first of a series and I anticipate reading them all.

Just read your romance novel [TheGoodbye Lie] and want you to know I thoroughly enjoyed it. Captain Waite Taylor reminded me of Rhett Butlerand Breelan- Scarlett O'Hara. The setting [Amelia Island] was most interesting to a native of these parts. Congratulations! - Mary L., Fernandina, FL

Great WritingBy Lynn WiesnerFormat: Kindle EditionEnjoyed the series so much! Can't wait for more from this writer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This is the first novel by this author I believe. I found the book to be formulaic and immature. I haven't read any others by her so I can't judge if she improves.

Historical fiction about Amelia Island? Doesn't make the mark!

Thought it would be like Eugenia Price novels but doesn't compare. A few mentioned areas on Amelia Island is the only way this could be connected.

I love a good historical romance, and since I absolutely adore Amelia Island and specifically Fernandina Beach historic district, this book is spot on for me! I'm almost finished with the 2nd in the trilogy, and can't wait to read more from this author!

Known to her admirers as "Gracious" Jane Marie, the author has written a delightful story with THE GOODBYE LIE. Set in the late 1800's amid the backdrop of Fernandina, Florida, the story takes off to far away shores-and far away desires, lies, and deceit.

For Breelan Dunnigan, growing up with a strict mother, a father incapable of saying no, and the requisite older sister and younger siblings has been far from a trial. But the time is nearing when soon she'll be married, with a family of her own, and her childhood will be behind her.

Then, while riding her horse upon the shore of the small island of Amelia, twisters arrive out of nowhere, and she's tossed unceremoniously into the ocean. Her rescuer comes in the form of a handsome and mysterious stranger-but is he really there to rescue her from the salty water, or take advantage of her precarious position?

When Breelan and her cousin Norah embark upon a trip aboard the Gentle Comfort and meet its captain, who is to oversee their voyage, she realizes that Captain Waite Taylor is the very man who rescued her from a watery grave. But soon Breelan is shining under the attention of a member of the crew, Trip Clelland, and a marriage is imminent.

What follows, however, is the way that love sometimes fails to follow its intended path. Treachery, deceit, lies, and jealousy all threaten Bree, her cousin, and even her entire family. Love, it seems, has a mind of its own, and will not be denied.

THE GOODBYE LIE, the first of a series, is an engaging story from Jane Marie. I look forward to the next, VELVET UNDERTOW, which will revolve around Breelan's sister, Carolena.

Pretty standard stuff

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2014

I read this book because of the location -- had recently visited Amelia Island and wanted to read more about it. And I've got to admit I skipped parts of the middle of the book. It's a formula bodice-ripper with maybe a few twists. The heroine has nothing much to recommend her except her beauty (isn't that always the case?) and I kept finding myself thinking "how could anyone be that stupid?" Maybe it's your cup of tea, but it's not mine.
