Need some escapism? You can always count on the romantic suspense
of Nora Roberts.
For Eli Landon Boston no longer
feels comfortable. He was cleared in the
murder of his wife, but there are many who don’t believe in his innocence. So he returns to the family estate at Whiskey
Beach, to look after the place while his grandmother recovers from a fall. Did his grandmother fall? Or did the intruder that has been in the
house looking for famed pirate treasure give her a push? Could the famed Esmeralda’s Dowry actually
exist?
This is a fun beach read…or listen. The reader is male so some of his female voices and romantic interactions were a little odd, but I was able to ignore it and enjoy the story. My one complaint is that Eli’s love interest, Abra, was the most perfect person I have ever read about! She’s intelligent, forgiving, empathetic and quirky. I like my main characters, especially in romances, to have a little more of an edge or at least a bad habit! Still an enjoyable diversion while stuck in traffic.
