Raised by a cold and distant mother, photographer Paisley Clark has spent her life daydreaming about the father she doesn’t remember. Paisley’s dream turns to reality when a DNA test brings her in contact with the mysterious man. With her financial situation a disaster and her childhood friend James Pressley-Coombes working across the pond in Scotland, Paisley is emboldened to accept her father’s invitation to visit him. She arrives in the Highlands only to discover that she isn’t Paisley Clark at all but a titled lady, the daughter of a Scottish duke. Despite the warm welcome and the comfort of James’s presence, dangerous undercurrents surround Castle Rannoch, her father’s estate. Overwhelmed, Paisley takes refuge in her camera and James’s steady presence to provide a sense of normalcy in her rags-to-riches transformation. But her once-easy relationship with James is changing, deepening beyond friendship in a surprising twist of events. Before they have time to examine their feelings, Paisley inadvertently captures a shocking image in one of her photographs—a picture worth killing for. |

Genre: Clean, Romantic Suspense
With a title like Danger On The Loch I knew there would at least be a little mystery. But, I was in for a bit of a surprise. The tale did feel a little like a cozy mystery at times but it was also well mixed with romantic suspense and a touch of Gothic.
It's been awhile since I've 'had' an adventure in Scotland and I was in need of an escape so this book from new-to-me author Paige Edwards seemed like a good choice. And I did enjoy it. It may not be the most complicated of plots but it was fun to take it a little easier and still try my own Nancy Drew skills at figuring out the villain. Plus there were some surprises along the way that livened things up.
Danger On The Loch also had a great friends-to-lovers element that I really liked. I've never been a fan of love triangles, thankfully this book has none, but friends-to-lovers is one romance trope that I can almost always get behind. And these two, Paisley and James, are so sweet together, first as friends and even more as romance begins to blossom.
Danger On The Loch was a charming read and a great introduction to Paige Edwards' storytelling. I enjoyed the story and will have no problem reading more from her. There were a couple of references to a related book and now Paige Edwards has me curious...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Danger On The Loch by Paige Edwards a 4 Bark rating.
Born and raised in Southern California, Paige Edwards is an award-winning author who thinks the color turquoise is almost as great, but not quite, as See’s Candy. A BYU-I alumna, she went back to school and graduated summa cum laude from NOVA with a degree in interior design. Her husband’s job transferred their family to the mid-Atlantic states where they have lived ever since. When she needs a break from writing, you can find her shooing deer out of her garden, biking battlefields, or kayaking on the lake. |
