GRR Reviews Riverstorm by Tess Thompson

Grant Perry and Liz Teeny were once lovers and promised each other to marry, until one of them made a mistake that broke them apart. Ten years later, both are respected attornies, he's about to be made equity partner, she just lost a big case where a poor waitress was raped by a rich guy and she decided to take the case pro bono in a civil suit (criminal suit already dropped for "lack of evidence") Grant was deeply wounded in childhood by his abusive father. When circumstances brought them back to Rivers Valley, can they find their family secrets, let go of their hurt, and love again?

Basically a fated mates story with deep family drama / secrets, there were some deaths in the families that were not talked about... and deep secrets that needs to be brought into the light, if only to ease the pain on the current generation. While I like the mystery, it's a bit on the slow side.
