I wish I could say that this story could be a standalone, but I can't. I haven't read the first book, and there is a lot left in translation. The plot and mystery were stirring and the climax exciting. I wish I could have rated it higher, but the feeling of being lost continued to haunt me through out the story. I don't recommend reading this series out of order.
Betty and Arthur are great together, but Arthur is the snake in the garden of the farm's beehives. Only Arthur doesn't want to do the evil deeds that he has been blackmailed to do. The story is compelling and shows how guilt can cause you to redeem yourself, especially when you truly love someone. Hopefully, there is redemption for everyone who regrets a decision.
This is an emotionally gripping story about escaping abuse. One woman's escape finds her hiding half a country away from her ex-husband. The man that hires her goes into hiding with her when her ex-husband burns down his surf shop. It's also a good thing that his brother is a billionaire. The story is well written with a few non realistic items. Otherwise, it kept me emotionally gripped through the climax of the story.
This is a sweet story about Lily, the lady's maid and Evan the coachman for the Brooke's household. These two are introduced when Evan comes to work for the Brookes and Lily begins to trust again when she is impressed by Evan's ambition, and how far he has come from being left at the Foundling Hospital. This novella makes you yearn for that warm love in the middle of February.
This is a fun little story, but it's got a lot of holes in it. It action-packed, but the romance between the main characters is where all the holes are. The book is packed with so much of the other characters from other books, that any real development of their relationship is lost.
This is a fun little gem. The whimsy play between the our two detectives is fun and sometimes tension filled. I enjoyed the information on how a Pinkerton is trained. I wasn't sure how the fake marriage would play out, but the author didn't let me down. The climax is tension filled and humorous at points. What I didn't like is the constant self doubt, I felt it was a little overdone. The story line and plot are well-written and the characters could well be made part of a series of Pinkerton tales.
This is a great story, and Dr. Gerald Banks know how to work a crowd. Unfortunately, he's never met Melanie Benson. It's not love at first sight for Melanie and Dr. Charlie Noble. Charlie is what his last name implies, noble. Charlie and Melanie develop a really deep friendship that eventually turns to love. The villain is vile and as the plot thickens our heroine truly rises to the challenge. The climax is exciting and the characters are well-written. This is an adventurous love story and I enjoyed reading it.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worn Sandals is a true example of how to live Grace. There are at least four moments when I had to stop reading to cry, tears ...
