Book Description: When Laine Forrester travels overseas to attend her best friend’s vineyard wedding, she expects to find the bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series of unforeseen setbacks, it seems the storybook lives they’d imagined are suddenly ripping apart.
With hopes of resurrecting a happy ending, Laine agrees to accompany the newlyweds to the groom’s home in Ireland—never expecting she’d be the one drawn in by its wide-open moors, backroads bordering the Irish Sea, and a mysterious castle that dares to keep its secrets hidden.
From the storied streets of Dublin to the shores of the Emerald Isle, Laine is drawn in to the land and its rich history. The castle ruins whisper stories of Issy—a photojournalist battling through the 1916 Easter Rising, and Maeve—the castle’s lady of legend, fighting for survival through the 1798 rebellion that started it all.
My Thoughts: This book cover reminds me of The Secret Garden but it's a lost castle. In Ireland!
Three women. Three timelines. Three romances . The three different story lines are slightly hard to keep straight. But necessary for this story.
I truly liked Laine Forrester's story. I was hoping it would all about her and lost castles. 😋 Laine is drawn to the land and finds that the land has a story to tell.
It's quite an interesting story.
All about Ireland and romance. Of course, having three different time lines isn't easy to write about. Kristy Cambron does an excellent job with keeping it all straight and then describing the scenery and castle plus the romance makes for a great read.
This is quite a thought provoking read but one needs to read this story in one setting, in my opinion. Reading it all at once helps the reader to keep the story line together.
