My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book four of the series. While it can be read as a standalone, I suggest reading the whole series. Not only is it great but you meet a lot of characters throughout the series as the series takes place in the same town of Parker, Oklahoma.

Karen lives her ideal life in Parker. Simple, quiet, uncomplicated. Just the way she likes it. She is very much unavailable. She has no desire to get close to anyone. Brody is coming home basically with his tail between his legs. He’s not the same kid he was before he left but boy does he feel like it. His job is in jeopardy and he has no clue what comes next. Karen and Brody meet and everything they’ve known seems to flip. Karen, after years alone, can’t fight what she feels and actually starts to confide in Brody. Brody, after “escaping” Parker has to decide if maybe New York isn’t where he’s meant to be.

I loved this book. The entire series has been great and this book was a great addition! I couldn’t put it down! The characters are always so relatable and it’s so well written you feel like you walk right into Parker as you’re reading. I definitely recommend!

Unlikely to Tell (A Parker Lake Novel Book 4)

I knew I missed my friends in Parker, but didn’t realize how much until I cracked open the book and started reading. Felt like coming home and I squealed in happiness when Kelda made her first appearance.

I have loved each of the couples individually and together but Kelda is by far my most favorite character and old lady I have ever read about and I hope I’m a quarter as amazing, flamboyant and not caring what the world thinks as she is. She is my old lady goal.

We finally get to know Karen and she didn’t disappoint me in the least. I hate how she isolated herself but so happy she met Breckin and was dragged into their group kicking g and screaming.

Brody, oh Brody.  I hate he felt like Parker was the place to avoid at all costs and lost all of that valuable time with his Dad and Sister, but oh so happy he found his way home.

I love everything about this book, series and author.  Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

This series is continuing to pull me in, I loved this book right from the start.
I was excited to get Karen’s story. Karen is a teacher who has some pretty high walls in place, that is until she meets Brody. Brody has returned home and things get very interesting. Lets just say the first face-to-face didn’t go well and Karen’s opinion of Brody isn’t the greatest. As time moves forward things do change between them and I really enjoyed reading their journey.

We get humor, drama, and so much more in this great read. I loved seeing the characters from previous books. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I was done before I knew if. If your looking for a great series to read 1-click and get started today.

Karen is trying to live a quiet life in Parker, Oklahoma. Her life is disrupted when she runs into mouthy Brody Cooper one day at the grocery store. Brody has returned to his hometown of Parker to regroup and figure out what he is going to do next with his life. A pretty teacher friend of his sister catches his eye and has him questioning the priorities he has in his life. Both are running from something, but could they be two parts of a whole?

I enjoy the Parker Lake novels. The characters are relatable and fun to read about. I love how they all interact with each other and build each other up. This is a great story of friendship and finding love unexpected!

A contemporary romance filled with secrets and reveals. The fourth book in the Parker Lake series and we get Brody and Karen’s story. It was so good to be back in Parker and catch up with characters from previous books. It’s like coming home to old friends. So many chuckles and laugh out loud moments. Totally recommend this whole series.

What an awesome finish to the series! I loved getting to know Karen and Brody in this book. You get to know Breckin’s mysterious brother in this one. And get to know her friend Karen. Both have secrets they would rather leave buried. Some secrets can push someone away but others bring you closer. Karen and Brody have some great banter back and forth! This was a great 4th book to the series! You definitely will enjoy the writing style from this author!

This is the 4th book in the Parker Lake series and it is just as captivating as the others. These books can be read as a standalone but if they are read in order it gives you more of a complete idea of the characters and their connections to each other in the small town of Parker Lake.

As with the other books this is a fun contemporary love story. However love isn’t always easier and both Karen and Brody have secrets that they need to work through.
Brody returns to Parker Lake after something happened in his big New York Life. Reluctant to return he comes home hoping to refind the man he used to be. What he doesn’t anticipate finding is love in the form of his sister’s friend Karen.
Karen is a school teacher in Parker Lake. After issues in her past made she found herself in this little town which suited her because all she wanted to do was fade into the background and life a peaceful life. And then she meet Brody and he changes her life and turns her upside down.
Can a chance meeting in a supermarket be the start of something special and magical for them both? Will Karen’s feelings for Brody as being an arrogant show off stop her opening her heart to him? Why is it that Brody can’t get this quiet woman from a country town out of his mind? And can they both reveal their pasts to build a future together?

I really enjoyed the fourth installment of this series. I’ve enjoyed the others but I think the storyline of this one was my favorite. I really enjoyed the characters, particularly Karen. Brody was a great pairing for her and it was enjoyable to watch their story unfold. I am glad to have read the others in the series first but it could be read as a standalone in my opinion.

These books were such a great and fun read that I was so sad to read this last one! I fell head over heels for this novel as it revolved around Karen and Brody. This story was one that I thoroughly enjoyed as it went over these two characters back stories and revealed why they are secretive, while also finding someone that they love along the way. I found myself laughing and crying along with them as their story progressed. Having the ability to read these novels and continually get information about couples that were the main characters in the other books in this series is one of my favorite things! Seeing the lives of these friends and their growth throughout the books as well as reading about crazy Kelda and Bert were truly my favorite things. I cannot recommend this book and the series enough!!

Unlikely to Tell is the fourth book in the Parker Lake series by Olivia Sherwood (Ashlie Knapp). This is a great contemporary romance series- and this fourth book makes a wonderful addition to the series. It is beautifully written with endearing characters, a small-town setting, emotion, humour, chemistry, and enough drama to keep things interesting. We get to catch up with characters we have met previously, which is an added bonus.
This is Karen Posey and Brody Cooper’s story- it was great to finally get Karen’s story, and OMG I wasn’t expecting the huge revelation/s- having met her previously, she’s the quiet and somewhat reserved schoolteacher friend of Breckin’s (Book #2), and Brady is Breckin’s brother who has returned from the big smoke to his small hometown to do a bit of soul searching after fate sent him a bit of a curveball. These two connect, walls crumble, sparks ignite, and secrets are revealed- making for another wonderfully intriguing and romantic addition to the superb series.
I know I keep saying it, but I really do love this series and the wonderfully endearing characters that Ms. Sherwood has crafted. This book/series not only makes for fantastic reading, but also has all the ingredients needed to make a fantastic television movie series.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Olivia Sherwood (Ashlie Knapp)!

This is yet another great book to this series. The author has created a story that is enjoyable with some truly fantastic characters at the heart of it. I was taken straight back into Parker Lake, the focus point of all the books, and if felt like I had never been away.  The book is well developed and so easy to read. I was pulled into it right from the start and was invested in how it works turn out. This really is a thoroughly enjoyable book.

I have read the rest of the books in the Parker Lake set and just like the rest, this book did not disappoint. The author does a great job of continuing the stories of each of the characters meanwhile focusing on the main couple. Karen is quiet and keeps to herself high school math teacher. Karen has one close friend and that is Breckin, on the occasion Karen will venture out to hang out with Breckins group of girlfriends. She needs to stay under the radar because no one knows her story. That is the case until Brody Cooper decides to come back home for a visit. Brody has not been home in a few years because he’s been so busy at work. Broody was not sure how long his boss would extend his visit. Only in town a few days when Broody heads over to Swansons to pick up groceries and he runs into Karen. It was not a good first impression on Broody’s part. Not realizing Brooy was Breckin’s brother Karen rambles to Breckin about the horrible interaction.
I really love this series of books. To watch Karen from book one and then finally get to learn her story is great. It was definitely a treat to watch Broody and Karen’s relationship blossom.

This is the fourth installment in this amazing romantic series. I have read each one and they get better every book. This was no exception. The author has quite a knack for bringing these stories to life and making them feel so realistic. That’s one of the reasons that I love them so much. I also love how she makes me laugh reading them because I can picture everything happening. This gentleman really had his hands full luring the main character into his clutches because she is a true Karen and not easy to win over. I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading some of these chapters because I wanted things to happen right then, but she kept me waiting. However, she did a phenomenal job and once they were united you could tell it was a perfect match. I highly recommend you pick up these amazing stories to read.

5 stars from start to finish and I would give it more if I could. I absolutely love the little town of Parker Lake and all its wonderful, very colourful characters. I was so happy to be able to read another story in this amazing series but also for Karen and her story to be told. I was hooked from page one until the very last word. This fantastic author creates such a vivid reading experience that you feel a true part of this wonderful town and you simply can’t put the book down until you see what happens next. As book 4, it tells the story of Karen and Brody and while they have been either featured a little or mentioned in previous books your reading experience will not be tarnished in any way if you haven’t read the previous books. I do HIGHLY recommend reading the previous books however because they are so awesome you really don’t want to miss out on them.

This is the 4th, and my favourite, book in a fantastic series that I’ve absolutely loved so far. Set in the small town of Parker Lake where you can’t do anything without the whole town knowing your business. But school teacher Karen Posey has a huge secret that she wants no one to ever find out about. So she keeps herself to herself.
All is going to plan until her best friend Breckin’s ( the heroine from a previous book in the series) brother Brody comes home to stay.
Brody and Karen’s story is only that I was hooked on from the very beginning. Having been introduced to Karen in previous books, I was always intrigued as to her story and was so glad that the author decided to give her a book to tell her awesome story.
As the path to true love never runs smoothly, Brody and Karen did not get off to the best start. She thought he was an arrogant jackass and hated him on sight. Although she could admit that he was very easy on the eye.
This is a fantastic story that I totally lost myself in and I can see me reading this book again in the future.
Definitely recommend.

School teacher Karen Posey is shy and quiet and likes to keep to herself, and she likes it that way. all is well until a chance meeting of Brody Cooper who is anything but shy, he is cocky and confident and has his sights set on Karen. Truly a beautiful journey of love. But filled with the typical small-town drama. lots of laughs especially from Meemaw who you will know about from the other book in this series. which if you haven’t, I highly recommend.

I have read all books in the Parker Lake series and I’m happy to finally get Karen’s story. She has always been the mysterious character and now we finally get the story of who she is how she came to Parker, Oklahoma. Karen is a math teacher and friend of Breckin who’s brother, Brody, has finally returned home after years away. Karen, not wanting to get close to anyone, cannot resist her attraction to Brody and soon begins to open up to him after years of internal turmoil. Brody is at a crossroads in life trying to decide if New York is truly where he belongs or if the love of Karen is worth leaving his career and what he’s known for years behind. I love this book series and the way they make me happy. The only character I am getting strongly annoyed with is Griff’s grandma. I began liking her but her antics are just getting too much and no one wants to take a stand against her. Other than that, this book and series is worth the read!

Brody Cooper slinks home in disgrace. Thinking he has nowhere else to go, Brody figures he can hide out at home until he decides what to do with his life. Brody didn’t fit in with Parker growing up. Now he is no longer the scrawny kid that read all the time, he is eye candy. An incidental meet at the grocery store has Brody drooling over the most unavailable woman in town, Karen Posey. When Brody starts breaking down her walls, Karen finds that there is more to Parker than just work and the occasional hang out with Breckin. The only problem is the secrets that Karen keeps. Can the secrets ruin everything before Karen and Brody have a chance?

Great read! The banter better Brody and Karen is fantastic, laugh out loud funny. The author takes you to Parker every time. Once you are there, you feel the second-hand embarrassment caused by Kelda and her ways, you sense the nosy neighbors, but also feel the love that this family, this community has to offer. I can’t stay away. I will return to Parker anytime! Love this series.

When I saw Olivia had another book out, I jumped right on it!

Unlikely to Tell is Karen’s story and the fourth book and another great addition in the Parker Lake contemporary romance series. Parker Lake is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Olivia weaves realistic tales that make it so easy to love characters.

With her steadfast besties beside her Karen’s journey into love is beautiful and fun. These wonderful and quirky characters made me laugh out loud once again. Of course, no love story is told without drama and emotions, crazy antics and humour, quick wit and easy banter, friendships and family and Olivia does it so well.

It’s time to jump on the Parker Lane bandwagon and start the amazing journey today.
