★★★★★ “I loved Henry & all the Stantons, it was lovely to have a loving, caring family who stood together & mourned their father, I hope the author has books planned for the other siblings! Whilst I really liked Livy I felt her character wasn’t as developed as Henry's. I did however like the chemistry between the pair & how their feelings changed & grew. I loved the mystery & was kept glued to my kindle. A well written engrossing read “ ~ Janet

★★★★★ “This book had a little bit of everything; drowning, attempted murder, poisoning, kidnapping, a cheating villain but through all this we still found a sweet romance between childhood friends, a faux engagement that grows into true love. A wonderful, sweet romance and I love Livy's rescue kitty, Salem (Devil Cat)!” ~ Lana Birky
