Is She Really Safe?

June 19, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This one ticks all the boxes for me: English village setting, independent heroine, strong writing that pulls the reader ever deeper into the mystery. Oh, and don't forget that romantic complication. I love the whole idea of an American in an English village, searching for the family she has never known. Naomi's mother died when she was very young, and her father was never in the picture. Her grandmother raised her in New York with no grandfather in the picture, either. Naomi's two closest female relatives were both single mothers. They both, Naomi finds after her grandmother dies and leaves her a trail of clues, had strong ties to a little village in England. Naomi can't help but think that this is where her father and mother met, and where she was conceived. When she decides to take a cottage in the village for a few months and do some digging, her intuition is only sharpened by the way people react to her. Some look as if they've seen a ghost. Others have an inexplicable aversion to her. And someone is trying to harm her, or at least scare her and her questions away from the village. Then there's the added complication that the lord of the manor, who she may be falling in love with, just might be her brother. One Safe Place is pure escapism, the perfect read for a sunny summer day.

Snuggle in and enjoy the journey to One Safe Place

January 3, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It’s always fun to snuggle in with a Robena Grant book. One Safe Place, promised a trip to a cozy English village called Oldcastle, where a birth mystery had been tucked away and forgotten. I especially liked that Naomi Paverman, the American traveler, was a Jewish protagonist, as I don’t often read books with this character portrayal. Though Oliver, the stately, and occasionally stiff, Englishman who is the owner of York Manor, takes his time getting involved with Naomi, once he’s committed to helping her find her roots, he won’t back down. Nor will his attraction to the wild-haired American.
As in most of Ms. Grants books, there is an element of suspense and a touch of danger, and the couple joins forces to get to the bottom of it. Once they’ve tested their DNA and establish they aren’t related, their romance takes off. Boo to Mrs. Compton and her smug attitude, and the grown man/son she keeps tied to her apron strings. Cheers for Annie, the Tea Room baker, and to Lizzie, Oliver’s wheelchair bound, younger sister, still full of life and adventure. At times, I felt as though I was in the same room as the characters going through boxes of old photos for clues, or enjoying asparagus soup with a good glass of chardonnay in Oxford. Or group singing while in the car on a road trip.
As Naomi’s birth line mystery unfolds, both her mother Rebecca, and more surprisingly, grandmother Goldie, come into play related to the English countryside, Oldcastle, and Hereford. Will Naomi finally find out who her father was, and her grandfather? After all the years of wondering and longing, will she finally find out where she belongs, and most importantly, with whom and where she should spend the rest of her life?

Perfect English Village Mystery with Plenty of Romance

January 7, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This story of a young American woman's search for her roots in a small English village was a real page-turner. No one was who they seemed, and their motives were cloaked in decades of secrets. The plot had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing until the end. Given the setting, I particularly enjoyed the author's homage to Agatha Christie, the queen of English village mysteries, by getting all the suspects together in one room for the ultimate reveal.

Good Mystery!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This story grabbed my attention from the first page. It transported me to Oldcastle and kindled my appetite for tea and scones and a cozy fireplace. Something mysterious happened decades ago in Naomi’s family, and she’s determined to uncover it. She stirs old sentiments and picks at long-kept secrets. Her prodding brings peril, but she finds an ally in Oliver, who has his own mysteries to resolve. The story is fast-paced, suspenseful, and romantic. I loved it.

a surprising delight

January 4, 2017

Format: Paperback

I would like to thank the author for providing me with an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Naomi’s grandmother has died. Since her mother had died when she was two, and never revealed who Naomi’s father was, she had been raised by her grandmother. Now she’s 35, single and with no family. She does have a box of journals and personal belongings from her mother and grandmother that all point to Oldcastle England. Small English towns like their peace and protect their secrets. Her grandmother’s painting done by a York, from York manner has Naomi thinking perhaps she’s related to the handsome Oliver York, the current Lord of the Manor, but as Naomi and Oliver get closer to the truth, things are starting to get dangerous for Naomi. Add in the chemistry between the couple and this could be a disaster.

This was a quick fun read. The author created characters with depth and personality. I enjoyed that the character’s all had their own issues and concerns outside of the main focus of the story. The web of mystery that was woven around this small town was complex. As soon as I thought I had it figured out, my theories were dashed. I love a good mystery that isn’t predictable, and this is definitely one of those. Though there were many twists, they made excellent sense and weren’t just thrown in to throw the reader off.

I loved how the story wove through the three women’s lives. Discovering the mystery of Naomi’s grandfather and father and why the women chose to keep those secrets was fulfilling. The stories and lies created to hold their lives together made sense in the moment. This book was a refreshing read.

This book was also a rather passionate read at times. The intimate scenes were hot and emotional. They were not overly graphic but full of real emotion. This was a nice change from much of the over crafted love scenes that populate the current crop of romance novels of late. Things all flowed in a smooth order and made sense with the story.

I enjoyed the writing style of this author and would gladly read more by them. I rarely rate a romance so highly but this was well enjoyed and earned its 5 out of 5 stars.
