Sadie Shook: Review Excerpt

This book was an absolute pleasure to read. It grabbed me from the start and kept me hooked until the very end. The story is well-crafted, the characters feel real, and the pacing never slows down. It has everything: romance, suspense, courtroom drama, and genuine emotion. I finished it feeling satisfied and already wanting more. If you’re looking for a book that will keep you turning pages and leave you smiling, this is it.

Julia Titus: Review Excerpt

I absolutely loved this book. From the very first chapter, I was completely drawn in. The story flows beautifully, balancing tender moments with genuine tension that kept me turning pages well past midnight.

What struck me most is how real everything feels. The relationships aren’t perfect; they’re messy, complicated, and honest, which makes them so much more compelling. The author has a gift for making you care deeply about what happens to these people. I found myself emotionally invested in ways I didn’t expect.

Amanda Thomas: Review Excerpt

I loved this book because it delivers on every promise. The romance feels earned Tommy and Mary rebuild trust slowly, painfully, and beautifully. The suspense is relentless. Anna’s stalking escalates from uncomfortable to terrifying. The courtroom scenes crackle with authenticity.
A fantastic read for fans of romantic suspense. Five stars.

Julie Hubbard: Review Excerpt

I loved Love on the Rebound because it delivers exactly what the title promises: a story about two people finding each other again, but only after surviving tremendous pain. Mary Spinelli is the reason I kept reading. She’s pregnant, scared, and carrying the weight of a broken relationship, but she never plays the victim.

The suspense genuinely works. Anna’s stalking escalates believably from uncomfortable to terrifying. The final confrontation in the apartment had me reading faster than I wanted to, desperate to know who survived.

Candace Schmidt: Review Excerpt

Love on the Rebound is a masterfully layered novel that seamlessly blends courtroom drama, romantic redemption, relentless suspense, and genuine emotional depth all anchored by a terrifying villain, a heroine you’ll cheer for, and a final confrontation that earns every beat.

Sherie Robinson: Review Excerpt

I loved Love on the Rebound, for one simple reason: it made me care. The pacing is excellent. The trial segments are tense and well-researched. The final confrontation is edge-of-your-seat gripping. And that ending poem? Perfect setup for Book 3.

Krupski balances darkness and warmth effortlessly. The families feel genuine. The friendships feel earned. The romance feels hard-won.

This is not literary fiction. It is a romantic suspense novel done right. If you want heart-pounding action and genuine emotion, read this book. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Randy Doell: Review Excerpt

Moving forward from the drama and tragedy on Bailie Beach that marked their lives forever, this close-knit group of friends and lovers struggle to find closure. Parenthood now enters the picture, bringing added demands and emotional strain for the parents-to-be. Compounding the tension is the vengeful antagonist, Anna, who repeatedly inserts herself at the most inopportune moments. Becoming increasingly unhinged, she escalates her aggressive behavior to the danger level. As college life, social pressures, continued emotional struggles, and increasing adult responsibilities collide, their lives become anything but simple. With an impending murder trial looming, coping skills are pushed to the limit—yet through it all, true love ultimately prevails. Love on the Rebound is an excellent, well-written sequel.

John Brown: Review Excerpt

A story that stays with you; I genuinely loved this book. It’s one of those rare reads that hooks you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the very end. The story is a beautifully balanced romance, suspense, family drama, and courtroom tension all woven together seamlessly.
 What I appreciated most is how real everything feels. The characters face genuine struggles, and nothing is wrapped up too easily. Some moments made me smile, moments that made me hold my breath, and moments that genuinely moved me. I found myself caring deeply about what happened to these people, which is always the sign of a great story.
 Krupski’s writing is warm and engaging. It’s clear he loves these characters, and that affection is contagious. The pacing kept me turning pages late into the night, yet the story never felt rushed. Every scene earns its place. This is the kind of book that reminds you why you love reading: it entertains, it moves you, and it leaves you feeling satisfied. I finished it wanting more, and I’ll definitely be reading the next one. You won’t be disappointed.

Mary Woo: Review Excerpt

Loved this book. Mary is a powerhouse, pregnant, brave, and brilliant. Tommy’s grief feels honest. Anna is terrifying. The courtroom scenes are tense, the final confrontation is gripping, and the beach goodbye to Joan made me tear up. The author writes with heart and clarity.

Julie Kratochvil: Review Excerpt

Love on the Rebound is that rare novel that understands grief and love are not opposites but companions. Tommy spends months carrying Joan’s poem in his glove compartment, unable to throw it away, unable to move forward, until the morning he drives alone to Bailie Beach, kneels in the sand where she died, reads “A Moment to Love” aloud to the seagulls and the waves, and releases the glass bottle into the outgoing tide, and in that single scene Krupski captures what lesser novels take entire chapters to say: that letting go is not betrayal, that closure is not forgetting, and that loving someone new does not erase the one you lost, which is why when Mary names her daughter Joan Marie, it lands not as a wound but as a gift, not as competition but as completion, and that is the kind of emotional intelligence that elevates this book from good to unforgettable.
