I love Elizabeth Ludwig’s novels--books filled with tension, a touch of romance, and a mystery to solve. What more could a person want? This is Book Two in the Edge of Freedom Series and it continues the story of women in Amelia Matheson’s boardinghouse.Ana Kavanagh has a bundle of secrets and scars to hide. She lost her family in a fire that severely burned her hands and sends her in disguise to America. An uncle is trying to steal her inheritance—but she’s in the way. She becomes a pawn in a game between her uncle and The Celt.Eoghan (pronounced Owen) Hamilton is another pawn—or maybe something more. He likes what he sees in Ana, and she becomes more precious to him than even the Fenians, that radical Irish tribe fighting for control of their homeland.Who will win this deadly game? I did not like Eoghan in the first book, so when I realized who he was in this book, I was inclined to put up a wall against him. However, he won me over fast! This book is written in a way where you truly feel the feelings and heart of the characters. You could feel how scared Ana, truly was, of her uncle. You could feel the terror that overwhelmed her and you had no idea even why she was that scared, but you knew it was not contrived. I loved the depth of the spiritual side of it as well. It ended well, even when I did not know how they were going to pull that off. That part may have been a bit unrealistic, but any other way and we would have been really mad! Loved this book!
What do You think about Dark Road Home (2013)?
