“Catherine’s Intrigue” by Paige Edwards
Catherine is intrigued with family history and old historic homes and their designs. She travels to England to visit her brother so she can work on their family history and find clues in locating a missing ancestor. Her family has spent generations researching their missing heritage but to no avail.
This story had a good, interesting pace with a strong female lead character. Despite opposition and danger, she keeps going! I also enjoyed the other main characters Nick and Jack (her brother). Since this story is set in England the characters use alot of British terms, which sometimes made it difficult to to understand what they were talking about, but I caught on quickly. I loved reading about the homes in that area and descriptions of the countryside.
I enjoyed this historical suspense with clean romance novel. It is also a LDS fiction which means some religious beliefs and references to “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints” are mentioned throughout the book.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
To fulfill her mother’s last request, twenty-four-year-old historic design specialist Catherine Pressley-Coombes travels to England in order to investigate an elusive family line. Armed with an illegible diary, she is determined to discover the identity of her mysterious ancestress. Distracted by an Elizabethan manor and unused to British country roads, Catherine runs her car into a ditch. Luckily, Nick Davidson, a handsome, hard-working local rides in on his tractor to save the day. As the down-to-earth manager of his family’s estate, Nick also happens to be one of England’s most eligible aristocrats.
Nick is certainly not the kind of man Catherine would fall for a man dogged by media and rumor. So why does she find the English lord so irresistible? Even though she can’t overlook their differing values and beliefs, as she and Nick spend time together, their attraction deepens. While she battles through romantic turmoil, Catherine is beleaguered with far more sinister concerns: a series of unexplainable misfortunes that are not mere accidents. With her heart on the line, Catherine discovers her life is in jeopardy, and she has no idea who the perpetrator is but she has a growing suspicion that the danger might be connected to whatever secrets lie hidden in her ancestor’s diary.
