He said it was fine. She believed him. He lied.

There’s only one good thing in Sophia’s life and he just let her down.

When her boyfriend is attacked, she sets out to help him, only to find he’s implicated in a murder. Desperate to prove him innocent, Sophia uncovers something far worse when an overheard conversation shatters all her dreams of a happy ending.

The fragile trust she placed in Dane is smashed in an instant, and she’s left with the worst dilemma of her life.

Will she risk her own heart to help him, or face watching him lose everything?

Reviewed by Bill Howard for Readers' Favorite

Sophia's Dilemma is expertly written in a way that draws every possible emotion from the reader. K.T. Bowes has done an excellent job of dragging the reader into the subjective feelings of the main character, while subtly showing that though everything looks bad from Sophia's perspective, everything is, in fact, getting better. The thrilling suspense of an added mystery following the murder of Dane's stepfather is an extra twist that injects even more intrigue into a story which is already spell-binding. Suspenseful, tragic and revealing, Sophia's Dilemma: This Too Shall Pass (The Teen Mayhem Series) will have you quietly whispering encouragement to the young heroine and repeating the words, "This too shall pass," to her over and over again.

About the Author

I enjoyed writing Free From The Tracks so much, that it wasn't long before Sophia's Dilemma was born. Based in the city of Hamilton in New Zealand, I hope that the novels have given you a taste for this country, as long as you remember that even Paradise has its problems.

I was born in England, to good parents who did their very best for me and my sister, and their encouragement and support is probably the reason why I survived my impossibly difficult high school years and managed to get to university. Although for many years afterwards, it seemed as though my English Literature honours degree had been little more than a pleasant interlude, spent with DH Lawrence and Jane Austen, it was in essence the basis and foundation for my writing career. I moved to New Zealand in 2006, with my long suffering husband and four small children.  We had no jobs, no home, a one way ticket and a suitcase each and it was the dumbest and single most terrifying thing we have ever done. Most importantly, I have no regrets and have found peace here in ways I could not have guessed. I hope that you enjoy my novels.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

K T Bowes is a wife, and a mother of four beautiful children.

Her most interesting place to live was Market Harborough in Leicestershire. There, she found something she thought she'd lost, and rediscovered a keen interest in the supernatural.

Her favourite place in the world is at the bottom of her New Zealand paddock, on the river bank listening to the cicadas singing their summer song in the trees.

The bravest thing she ever did was jump out of a tiny plane with a parachute, because a friend asked her to . The dumbest thing was getting on a plane with her husband and four small children with a one way ticket to the other side of the world, and no luggage.

The best thing she ever did was get married after having known her husband for 5 months. She met his family for the first time on their wedding day. How else can a girl snag a free IT tech? And the poor man has spent 30 years sticking her technology back together.

Her favourite people are her family.

K T Bowes has over 40 novels currently on Amazon.

She loves to hear from readers. If you enjoy her writing, please leave a review.

I can't believe I would be reading a teen book at my age (77). KnIt, since I love the authors's DeRose books, I thought I'd give it a try. It was spell binding, and appalling at the same time. Had no idea the life of a lot of teens today. It is fascinating to follow in there crazy footsteps to the conclusion of the book. Will go on with the series to see what the characters get into next.

This novel continues the story of Sophia Armitage, the Year 12 girl who goes to the worst school in Hamilton. Her home life is still bad but the bright point in her life is her boyfriend, Dane. During the novel, two accusations are levelled at Dane and sadly one of them is caused by something Sophia does. She has big decisions to make, which will impact both of the teenagers. I enjoyed this novel, it is well written and deals realistically with the issues surrounding teenagers today. I found it a really relaxing read, with some hard hitting points that made me think. I am fascinated by this author and eagerly wait for whatever she brings out next. I rate this novel a solid 9.8/10, definitely worth a read.

Sophia and Dane are back. A major misunderstanding, problems with friendships, and issues with family add to the drama of the story.

K. T. Bowes' Sophia's Dilemma is the sequel to Free from the Tracks and the second book in her Teen Mayhem series. Ms. Bowes is also the author of the Du Rose series. While I enjoy all of her work, Demons on Her Shoulder remains my personal favorite.

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2014
Sophia's is one hell of a dilemma - one kind deed could get her, and those close to her, killed. I loved this book as much as the first in the series, Free From the Tracks.

This book delves deeper into Dane's family life and includes insight into Sophia's dad's situation, too.

"Poor Maddie went the colour of the red roses in Sophia's garden. Well, not exactly the same, because the roses had dead bits on now that her mother wasn't there to spray them any more..."

As illustrated in the quote above, I love the thought processes as Sophia first embraces clichés and other people's ideas, then fits them into her own life and experience to make them unique, just like a real teenager. She's fighting to find herself and her place in life, not something someone's cut out for her.

A well-deserved five stars.

This series of books carries on with the same excellent story lines full of engaging characters, mystery and danger, difficulties of understanding a new and exciting sexual awareness when becoming of age, and dealing with the angst of still being a child in a woman's body.

When I got this book, I never realized that it was book two in a series, but in my opinion it can be read as a stand-alone, and you still get a real sense of what happened in book 1
We get a realistic look at some of the worse issues surrounding teenagers today. And lesson to us all to find out the facts before making assumptions.
This is more of a YA type of book, but suitable for adults, it held my interest throughout. I will definitely read more from this author. I really enjoyed this story, it’s well written, with just the odd little bits that tell more than shows. 3.5 five stars rounded up to 4
