Publisher Description
Ripples: A Consequences Stand-alone Novel
You don’t have to read the Consequences series to enjoy this stand-alone novel, but if you know Tony Rawlings, you know that disappointing him isn’t an option. Imagine being his youngest daughter...imagine telling him the unimaginable...
“Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”
Sometimes ideas find you, and dreams begin as nightmares. Sometimes the truth that has been kept hidden is the key to opening a door you never knew existed.
“You might not know me. I’m the baby of the Rawlings family, the princess, the daughter who came along later. I’m not like my older siblings, successful at everything they touch. My mother and father have provided me with every luxury as well as their unyielding love and support, but I’m not spoiled. I’m also not content. By example, my parents have shown me how love should be. I don’t know their past, and that doesn’t matter. I know what I’ve seen—two people devoted to one another.
I don’t believe that I’ll ever find that kind of love, the kind that forgives and accepts all. And as my life falls to pieces and I travel to visit my family to face their disappointment, I’m not even looking for it.
I’m looking for an escape...from my life as a Rawlings...from the pressure to achieve and not let others down. I dream of the time I can live for my own desires without the expectations that come with my name.
I don’t find what I’m seeking...it finds me. Or should I say...he finds me.
This time is different. I have a family who will search for me and find the answers. Little do we know—any of us—that my father set my journey into motion long before I was born.”
"Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects." ~Dalai Lama
Ripples (Unabridged Version) is Natalie’s story, the youngest of Tony and Claire’s children—their baby. This story first appeared in shorter form in Glamour: Contemporary Fairytale Retellings. Due to the length restriction of each novella in that anthology, many scenes in Ripples were shortened or omitted for that anthology. This unabridged edition is the entire story—double in length and—a full-length novel.
Please enjoy this Consequences novel along with special appearances from your favorite Consequences characters.

Ripples
Very disappointed for the lack of closure for the Rawlings family
Good Book, Terrible Ending
The book was good and I was really getting into the details about the backstory, but it seems like the author just ended it abruptly with so many issues left unaddressed. It felt like just as she was at the crest of the buildup, her doorbell rang ending her efforts; or more appropriately, her editor enforced her deadline. As much as I hate to say it, I would rather an annoying cliffhanger where at least I knew the unanswered questions would eventually be addressed.

I really enjoyed the whole Consequences series so I decided to read this book. This book wasn’t quite the same but still pretty good. Just when it got to be where it was really really good and began to tie everything together it just stopped. Not ended just stopped….we need more, we need it to be finished not incomplete. It was published in 2017 it has been 5 years there should be a completion by now. I would definitely read the rest of the story. Disappointed it has not come out yet.
