Ophelia

The Widows of Wildcat Ridge, Book Sixteen

Ophelia never expected her first love, a man named Deuce, to up and vanish. Heartbroken, she enters into a loveless marriage with Mortimer Crane. After two decades of his infidelity and neglect, she has had enough. Worse, she learns he’s put his mine — and the town that grew up around it –in her name, taking the profits for his own. Determined to end her marriage and start a new life, she moves to Wildcat Ridge to claim her property. There, she finds Deuces, now known as Brody Duvall, and old sparks rekindle. But Mortimer has lethal plans of his own. Can Ophelia and Brody defy him and create a new life together? Or will Mortimer ruin everything… again?

* * * * * A great ending to a great series. “I love Charlene’s characters and she always has a great story to tell. I liked that she ended the series with the wife of the town’s nemesis. I don’t want to give too much away for those who haven’t read it yet. Ophelia and Brody were in love twenty years ago, but became separated due to Mortimer’s devious ways. Twenty years later they meet again in Wild Cat Ridge and rekindle their love. But Ophelia is now married to Mortimer Crane, though she is seeking a divorce. Much drama plays out between the characters. Great series.” ~ Tina Foster

* * * * * Wildcat Ridge at its best! “Ophelia is a fast moving story with several unexpected twists. She is a bigger than life character who is not afraid to make changes in sleepy Wildcat Ridge. She is compassionate with a free spirit. She is the one person strong enough to take on her husband, Mortimer Crane. There is a dichotomy between these two vital characters that creates tension throughout the novel. It is delightful to see other characters from previous stories in this finale of the Widows of Wildcat Ridge. A mystery is created around the character of Brody Duvall that is made just for Ophelia to solve. She is a woman that the townspeople are all set to hate, but find themselves loving after they meet her. A great culmination story, Ophelia gives the prodigious ending that everyone has been waiting for. A masterfully written novel of sublime characters, Ms. Raddon weaves a tale worthy of being a classic!” ~ Belinda Wilson

The people in this book draw you right in, and their inter-actions with all the situations that unfold feel so real that you’re right there with them. I will not give away anything because I hope everyone will read this book. The ending will have you re-reading! The best book in the series turns out to be the last book in the series:) The others are great, too. You know what I mean.” ~ Kindle Customer
