Towers of Brierley: A Novel [Paperback]

Anita Stansfield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2000

Set in eighteenth century Scotland, this fast paced historical romance sweeps the reader into a world of suspense, intrigue, murder, vengeance, and a love strong enough to conquer Brierley and all it stands for.

Haunted by secrets and questions about his birth, Gavin leaves Brierley, returning years later to confront the lies of the past.

To Anya Ross, Brierley is like the fairy tale castle of her dreams. But when her great uncle is murdered, and the remnants of the MacBrier family torment her at every turn, her dream turns into a nightmare.

Anya and Gavin are drawn together by the bond of a mottled past they share. But this bond becomes a wedge that threatens to drive them apart as sinister forces confront them at every turn.

Only Gavin holds the key to undoing an evil he doesn't even understand. The key that can free Anya and himself from the chains of fear and hatred.

3.0 out of 5 stars Typical Romance Novel, October 3, 2000

This review is from: Towers of Brierley: A Novel (Paperback)

I love Anita Stansfield and have been an avid fan for years. I have loved ALL of her novels. But "Towers of Brierley" was not up to par. I liked it, but it lacked the details and backbone that most of her novels possess. It was predictible and and too short. Everything happened too fast making it unbelievable! Adding more meat to the story would have made it more enjoyable. Bottom line: not her best, but good if you want to sit down and read a typical romance novel.

Towers of Brierly is a wonderful book. If you like any of Anita's books you will definately want to read this! It touches your heart in a way that is indescribable. You won't be able to put it down! This is the kind of book that you will want to curl up in front of the fire with a cup of hot choclate on a cold wintery day. A must read.

This book is for those of us who like to escape from reality once in a while. The love story takes place back in horse times and casle times. It is a wonderful love and mystery story about Anya and Gavin. I LOVED it and read it twice...
