Sometimes you read a book that is so lovely that when you reach the end all you can do is sigh. Such a book leaves you so content that you just sit back and look at your to-be-read pile unable to move on. Carved In Stone is such a book. The story is engaging and pulls you along. The characters are delightful, I would love to wander the greenhouse with Gwen, and Patrick is an awesome dude. So brew up a pot of good Irish Tea and grab a few tea cakes, you are in for a fantastic story!
I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Her gilded world holds a deeply hidden secret.
After years of tragedy, Gwen Kellerman now lives a quiet life as a botanist at an idyllic New York college. She largely ignores her status as heiress to the infamous Blackstone dynasty and hopes to keep her family's heartbreak and scandal behind her.
Patrick O'Neill survived a hardscrabble youth to become a lawyer for the downtrodden Irish immigrants in his community. He's proud of his work, even though he struggles to afford his ramshackle law office. All that changes when he accepts a case that is sure to emphasize the Blackstones' legacy of greed and corruption by resurrecting a thirty-year-old mystery.
Little does Patrick suspect that the Blackstones will launch their most sympathetic family member to derail him. Gwen is tasked with getting Patrick to drop the case, but the old mystery takes a shocking twist neither of them saw coming. Now, as they navigate a burgeoning attraction and growing danger, Patrick and Gwen will be forced to decide if the risk to the life they've always held dear is worth the reward.
