Historia
After studying art under Miss Drake, a renowned painter, Phoebe Radcliff is certain she can finally move beyond the childish mistake that’s kept her away from home. She is thrilled when Miss Drake employs her to complete a complicated ballroom renovation. Everything changes, however, the moment Miss Drake is murdered. With her last breath she imparts the location of a clue to Phoebe. Can the biggest secret of Avonthorpe Hall be true? Phoebe is tasked to finish her work in the ballroom by Miss Drake’s infuriatingly regimented yet all-too-handsome nephew, Lt. Graham Burke.

Delightful
Revisado: 01-29-25
This was a great story, but I was probably 3/4 of the way through it before I realized that it was actually a standalone sequel to one of her other stories. I can't recall the name of it, but it starts with masquerade. I really liked that one, and I really like this one. I love the storylines this author creates with their twists and turns and intertwined romance. I like the fact I can recommend it to my daughters or a friend without having to say, "However, skip chapter 4" or cringe knowing there is "inappropriate content". I think I have a new favorite author!

Historia
Free-spirited Zoe Andrews has settled into married life and feels she has found her ideal niche working for a company that discreetly recovers lost items for elite clients, but her first assignment, which takes her to Edinburgh to recover a stolen painting, turns out to be more complicated than she expected. Instead of simply getting in touch with contacts in the art world, Zoe finds herself tangled in a web of contradictions. Why would someone steal a not-so-valuable painting, and why was the thief attacked?

Love the mystery and intrigue!! I love the international locations and the fact this writer doesn't always need a murder to write a great mystery!

Refreshingly Different Lit RPG
Revisado: 04-19-21
Story kept moving along. Never bogged you down with endless stats and details. Shared various character POV without becoming confusing. Main character was great balance—not so flawed as to irritate and not so perfect as to be unrealistic. No harem aspects and no gore. Could not put it down.

Worth hanging in there
Revisado: 06-20-20
I admit I mostly choose my fiction stories to stir my intellect, engage my fancy, or uplift my spirit. This title was intriguing, and I have been longing to visit the ocean again, so I took a chance on an unknown author.
The story started out rather bleakly, and a couple of times I almost set it aside because I was afraid it was going down a dark path. However, the people and places interested me. Without any spoilers, I will just say the content stayed family friendly, and I was glad I listened to the end.
The narrator’s voice was appropriate to the character, though not always an easy listen. I will encourage you not to give up (like I almost did) when she narrates the voice of a child and was very hard to understand due to an exaggerated dialect. That only happened once, so it isn’t too hard to push through.
After finishing the listen this evening, I wanted to encourage others to stick with the story. I feel enriched by the listen.

Listened to it straight through. I’m retired military and enjoyed the story. I identified with military culture that although it was set in the future but still felt genuine.

At first I was afraid that the story would be too dark and twisted because of the title and demon aspects. Turns out it was great for the whole family. After I listened to it, I shared it with my teenaged kids. They loved it. Especially loved the character of Bart. I seldom read or listen to a book more than once, but loved this one enough to listen twice. Bravo.

Author was great. Reader was perfect. It was a very uplifting book using Scripture just right. Wish all pastors were like him.

This story has my all time favorite start. Completely original universe and fantasy concepts. Books are short but quite a few in series. Prose is beautiful.
