Description
Love, truth, and pain lie buried beneath the Sunset at Lake Crane...
Faced with a blackmailer’s ultimatum, 19-year-old Erynn O’Neal protects her lover by disappearing from his life. Brokenhearted, she vanishes—and takes a life-altering secret with her.
Grant Alexander crossed the line when he took former student, Erynn O’Neal, as his own a mere two months after her high school graduation. Knowing the truth revealed would shred his career and reputation, he accepted the risks in exchange for the promise of a lifelong love. A heartbeat later, Erynn abandoned him without a word.
Years pass as Grant and Erynn lead separate lives–he as a reclusive author, she as an ambitious reporter. Yet, despite scarred hearts, true love lost is never forgotten, and Grant devises a way to draw Erynn back into his sphere of passion. Their aching hearts begin a tentative détente, but old jealousies flare, devastating truths come to light, and Grant and Erynn must resurrect and overcome the painful secrets of the past if they’re ever to love again.

Oh wow this was brilliant. I've never read anything by Casey Hagen before and went into this book not expecting anything and was truly impressed. What a mix of emotions throughout the book - love, heartache, tragedy, suspense, mystery and a bit of hot sex....this story has it all. I enjoyed the characters and their stories and struggled to put the book down. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Sunset at Lake Crane, Casey Hagen
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: Romance,
This sounded fun, sometimes I want a straightforward romance, but it still needs to have some fireworks and drama! From the description I thought this would fit the bill.
I found it one of those reads though that I can best describe as there's a lot going on but nothing happening....so much of the day to day stuff just didn't seem relevant to the main story.
Erynn annoyed me so much. I understood her actions at the time, she was young, in love, no close family to seek guidance from and she did what she thought was best. Now though she's older so why the heck is she still worrying what everyone will think? Why worry about Grant's job when he has a lucrative second career? Surely now its time to speak to him, especially now she knows just how hurt he was, and let him decide for himself if he's worried what others think, about his career.
To be honest this was going to be an OK read, a three star but there are some revelations in the last quarter that led to lots of drama and angst, right up my street so its jumped a star to a four. I hadn't guessed who was behind the note, so that was a good suprise. I still was annoyed at Erynn though, even then....but Grant loves her and he was a terrific guy so I'll let it pass ;-)
Stars: Four, the drama in the last quarter made the book for me, but Erynn, whiny woman, needed a shake up!

In order to bask in the sunset, there has to be some rain. For Erynn and Grant that rain came in the form of a torrential storm cloud of secrets, blackmail and heartbreak that continues to impact their lives years later. What happens when secrets take on a life of their own, but love refuses to die? Ms. Hagen continues to enthrall readers with her tales of heart-wrenching romance and awe inspiring love. Once you step into a story by Casey Hagen, you'll never look at romance the same.
