From #1 NY Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes the third book in the popular Callaway Series, an emotional and suspenseful novel of love, family and dangerous secrets.  

Ria is as sexy and sultry as a warm tropical night and as beautifully dangerous as the island drinks she serves at the beachside bar on Isla de los Suenos -- The Island of Dreams. But Ria is not as carefree as she appears, and the pretense is wearing her down. One night she risks everything to escape from reality.

Drew Callaway is a former Navy pilot and rescue operative looking for his own escape from a life that has seen too much tragedy. Meeting Ria is like embracing the sun, and their single night together is life-changing. But the dream quickly fades when Ria is killed in a tragic accident at sea. 

Months later, thousands of miles away from where they first met, Drew sees a woman who looks just like Ria. She claims her name is Tory, and that they've never met before, but he can see that she's in trouble, and he can't walk away. He's going to save her whether she wants it or not.

Drew isn't afraid of a little danger, but can he risk losing his heart to a beautiful stranger?

Falling for a stranger. Fun easy read. Some grammar fixes needed— sisters-in-law not sister-in-laws. Minor but interrupted flow of the story.

Terrific. Just like the other books... I can't stop reading them.

Love the Callaways. As a lover of the Callaway sereis of books by Barbara Frothy, i can highly recommend “Falling For a Stranger.” Her books always have story lines that are new and interesting. This story involves a one time meeting between Ria and Drew on a tropical beach. The next morning Ria disappears when a boat explodes in the bay. Drew searched all over for Ria but she was gone. Later, in CA he sees someone that looks like Ria. Is it Ria or a look-alike? Didn’t she die in the explosion? Another must read by author Freethy.

Enjoyable book. This is a different type of love story. No second chance but one of love at first sight. The drama and suspense kept your interest throughout the book. True modern day hero for her Prince Charming.

Falling for a stranger. I loved this story! It kept me entertained through the last page.

Cymmie

No way...... This is the third book in the series. I've read all three, had I started with this one I never would have moved on in this series. It's slow, it's so far out there in la la land that it cheapens the characters. I'm moving on to book four and crossing my fingers.

L.g.Texas

Very entertaining story. Wonderful characters. Well written. Story contained all the elements of life; drama, humor, tragedy, passion, romance with a promise of true happiness. True page turner leaving you with questions that can only be answered by continuing to read the entire series.

Falling for a Stranger. This has been a fun series.

leaning more to the romantic suspense side. In a story that reconnects Drew and Ria, we are leaning more to the romantic suspense side of things, and while it’s not my favorite sort of story to read, the writing kept me intrigued enough to continue. We’ve met Drew before: one of the adult Callaways, he’s a bit high-strung and more angst-ridden than the others from his family we have met. Now a helicopter pilot for the coast guard, his vacation left him with one everlasting memory, that of Ria, the woman with whom he shared a passion filled night. Some months later, Drew is convinced he sees Ria in San Francisco, and joyfully reconnects. But Ria tells him her name is Tory, and that she doesn’t know him. Cue danger and huge secret. Told again in dual points of view, I wasn’t able to connect to the tension, and it felt a bit flat for me. Drew also seemed to soften in this story, missing his edge and the angst that felt so very ‘him’. While their connection was palpable, the other parts of the story seemed to just miss for me, being a decent, but not great, retelling of events. It was nice to check back in with Aiden and Sara, and see a bit more of the relationship between Nicole and Ryan and their troubles. While this was amusing and action packed, and I am enjoying the characters and getting to know the family, I just wasn’t in love with this particular story. I received an eBook copy from the author via Novel Publicity for purpose of honest review for a tour event. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

The Callaways. Loved the story of Ria and Drew. This book has it all, romance, mystery and suspense. Starts on an island and ends up back home with the Callaways. It was great to revisit with Callaways . Looking forward to reading many more books in this series.

Great mystery. I enjoyed this book up to the last couple of chapters. The mystery and suspense throughout were gripping, making me want to find out why Ria was in hiding but then the ending seemed rushed. All over suddenly without any explanation. This could have been a bestseller if the ending had been explained better rather than “everybody lived happily ever after.” Too mushy. Sorry. Not my cup of tea.

Falling for a stranger. I have reread this book three times and I still enjoy it every time. I am looking forward to the next part of the family. Thanks Brian.X
