Editorial Reviews

"Purl presents the first novel in her Milford-Haven series, which features a setting of unadulterated beauty. . .and a cast of successful, sexy, sometimes quirkily independent characters . . .romance. . .scandal, and carefully parsed out mystery. . .the novel is poised to convince readers to continue with the series." -- Publishers Weekly
"Former Days of Our Lives actress Purl imbues her soap opera finesse into the fictional setting of Milford-Haven, a sleepy California coastal town. This may be Apple Pie, USA, but hearts are on the line, professions are at stake and a possible murder has tainted the landscape. A whirlwind of juicy drama with dangling-carrot closure."-- Kirkus Reviews
"What the Heart Knows is an upbeat novel . . .the first book of Milford-Haven. The book opens powerfully . . . Purl does not use external paraphernalia to bring her characters to life. Multiple love stories, friendships, crushes, and. . .Purl's characters are well-traveled, educated, and street smart." -- ForeWord Reviews
