ABOUT THE BOOK




The Thrill of Romantic Suspense Meets the Romance of 1800s America


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.


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.


If you would like to read the first chapter of No Safe Harbor, go HERE.

MY THOUGHTS-I am a lover of anything Irish. So I have read up on a lot of the history of Ireland and it's people. And let me tell you, this was a wonderful eye opening story about the Irish immigrants. It is amazing what they went through and the courage that Cara shows. Sure I know this is a fictional story, but a lot of the  background is correct.

On a story level, this was very good. I enjoyed Cara and her struggle of having to know who to trust. Roarke made a good hero and I loved how even he had his struggles. He is not the perfect hero who has everything under control. I love a realistic man! Good suspense and some romance thrown in makes this a perfect blend and a nice read. Will definitely be looking out for more in the future! Keep them coming Elizabeth!!

According to FTC Regulations, I received a copy of this book for my review purposes. I did not receive any monetary compensation. All thoughts are 100% mine.

Hey Charity, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed reading Cara and Rourke's story.

Book two in this series, DARK ROAD HOME, is all about Cara's brother, Eoghan.

Now, just so I get an idea, how did you pronounce Eoghan's name in your head?

Kind of funny you brought that up:) I wasn't sure it would be pronounced like Yogan, or Eagan. Of course I could be entirely wrong with both:) Either way, I loved the book! Have it on my shelf to re-read.
