Publisher's summary

Eden Palmer knows how to make it on her own. This 45-year-old single mother has worked hard to raise her beloved daughter, Melissa, who has long been the jewel of her life. But there comes a time when a mother must come into her own. So Eden moves to Arundel, North Carolina, to take ownership of Farrington Manor. Her move is met with delight in some quarters, and jealousy in others.

Pursued by two eligible bachelors, Eden is flattered, and more than a little suspicious. Juggling the attentions of two men is hard enough, but soon Eden's bid to start over plunges her in the middle of a mystery that threatens not just her plans and reputation, but her very life. Can she use one man to save her from the other?

Great all the way around

I always love the story line in Jude’s books. I could relate to this one too. The narration was excellent as well.

Highly entertaining

The story is a good mystery and romance. The main character, Eden was very believable and not a mere youth. She had had full and bumpy life that carried forward to her present. The eighteenth century home she inherits from an older woman she knew is the center of much intrigue. You must read the story for more information.

Lovable, laughable, and some mystery.

Could have been better.

The hardest part was listening to the narrator. I didn’t think the narrators voice went along with the characters in the book. The voice was too raspy for the main character Eden. At times the story was a little boring.

Deveraux is always a good romance read

Jude Deveraux is always a good romance read. That said, this is an ok book but nowhere near the quality of something like Knight in Shining Armor.

If you're looking for a nice book to relax with, this is just fine. I don't regret the credit, but I'm sure that I won't remember the plot for very long.

There was a fun story line but certainly not one of her best books.
