ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Thrill of Romantic Suspense Meets the Romance of 1800s America<\/p>\n

Lured by a handful of scribbled words across a faded letter, Cara Hamilton sets off from 1896 Ireland on a quest to find the brother she’d thought dead. Her search lands her in America, amidst a houseful of strangers and one man who claims to be a friend–Rourke Walsh.<\/p>\n

Despite her brother’s warning, Cara decides to trust Rourke and reveals the truth about her purpose in America. But he is not who he claims to be, and as rumors begin to circulate about an underground group of dangerous revolutionaries, Cara’s desperation grows. Her questions lead her ever closer to her brother, but they also bring her closer to destruction as Rourke’s true intentions come to light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Safe Harbor<\/a>\u00a0is a historical romance with a large dose of suspense. In fact, although the romantic aspect is excellent, the suspense is a prominent component of the story. A major theme of the novel is vengence and the negative affect it has on all involved when they don’t turn it over to the Lord.<\/p>\n

Both Rourke and Cara kept secrets from the other which resulted in feeling of guilt and lack of trust. However Cara’s unfailing faith and willingness to forgive eventually overpowered Rourke’s desire for retribution.<\/p>\n

No Safe Harbor<\/a>\u00a0is definitely a page turner with several breathtaking scenes. I didn’t want to put it down until I reached the end. Definitely a MUST READ in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
