I've read a few of this author's books in the past and
enjoyed them. I was happy to have the
opportunity to read this one. This
particular book is the second one in the Cliffs of Cornwall series. The first one is called A Lady's Honor and
deals with Elizabeth Trelawny, Morwenna's cousin. Elizabeth doesn't show up in this book
(although she is mentioned) so you can read this one without having read A
Lady's Honor. Unfortunately, I haven't
read A Lady's Honor yet, but I hope to have the chance one day soon.
Morwenna finds an unconscious man on her beach after
wreckers have caused another shipwreck.
She finds a medallion around his neck that later disappears, but she
wonders why this stranger would have it in his possession. It bears her family's crest and she wants
answers. To do that, she intends to keep
the man close until he reveals his secrets.
David is seeking answers for why his father disappeared with
the family's money and then turned up dead in a place he wasn't meant to
be. Finding out the missing medallion
belongs to someone in Morwenna's family, he has his own suspicions. Add to that the fact that he keeps getting
drugged and poisoned and he feels he has every reason to doubt Morwenna's
innocence. Aside from the fact he's
falling in love with her, that is.
This book was a page turner.
From the beginning pages, you're guessing who's behind the bad things
going on around Morwenna's home. She's
determined to climb out of the poverty her dead husband left her in, and her
past has her doubting whether she should love David when everyone she loves
seems to leave her.
All the way up the end, you're getting a good story. The mystery is solved toward the very end, so
you don't have a ton of senseless pages to wrap up the story. I really enjoyed this one and will be on the
lookout for more from this author. Good
Book!
