Jude Deveraux (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 25, 2006

When Eden Palmer moved into Farrington Manor, the charming house that was willed to her, she hoped her new home in lovely Arundel, North Carolina, would provide the fresh start she needed. Her beloved daughter Melissa, whom Eden raised on her own, was married now, and Eden must begin a new chapter. But her arrival in the small Southern town soon plunges her into a mystery that threatens not only her plans and reputation, but her life...and when two eligible bachelors pursue her, Eden is flattered -- and more than a little suspicious. Can she use one man to save her from the other?

5.0 out of 5 stars Way better then I thought it would be!, August 21, 2006

I was very pleased with this book. Carolina Isles was a disapointment. This one was a joy that I couldn't put down. The heroine was flawed, but strong. I totally got into the two men fighting over her and I could see way they would. The suspence about the murders and the house were intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I did not figure this one out until it was over. Well worth my time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, January 26, 2007

This review is from: First Impressions (Paperback)

I found the premise of the book to be rather intreging, but the actuall book left me with more questions than answers and left me confused.

I have read some of Jude Deveraux's other work and I was disappointed with this one. The mystery I felt was really interesting, but the conclusion left me puzzeled and I felt that it could have been written better. Also except for Eden the characters where not as fleshed out leaving questions about their past through to the end of the book and are never really concluded.
