Review – No Safe Harbor

Elizabeth Ludwig in her new book, “No Safe Harbor” Book One in the Edge Of Freedom series published by Bethany House takes us into the life of Cara Hamilton.

From the back cover:  New York City, 1897

She came to America searching for her brother. Instead all she’s found is a web of danger.

Cara Hamilton had thought her brother to be dead. Now, clutching his letter, she leaves Ireland for America, desperate to find him. Her search leads her to a houseful of curious strangers, and one man who claims to be a friend–Rourke Walsh. Despite her brother’s warning, Cara trusts Rourke, revealing her purpose in coming to New York.

She’s then thrust into a world of subterfuge, veiled threats, and attempted murder, including political revolutionaries from the homeland out for revenge. Her questions guide her ever nearer to locating her brother–but they also bring her closer to destruction as those who want to kill him track her footsteps.

With her faith in tatters, all hope flees. Will her brother finally surface? Can he save Cara from the truth about Rourke… a man she’s grown to love?

Who do you trust when you don’t know anybody?  That is the situation Cara Hamilton finds herself in.  On top of that the one person she wants to trust is the one person her brother told her not to.  Cara is on a quest to find her brother, believed to be dead, but alive somewhere in New York.  That is her mission for leaving native Ireland and coming to America.  Now she finds herself embroiled in sabotage, attempted murder and threats.  The one person who can possible save her?  Of course, Rourke Walsh, the man her brother said not to trust.  “No Safe Harbor” is a very exciting book.  One that will keep you flipping pages trying to find out what will happen next just as fast as you can read and flip.  “No Safe Harbor” will keep you asking questions, once you get the answer to one question it leads you to another and then another.  This is an adrenaline laced adventure story.  The characters are extraordinary and well written.  This is a just plain fun, exciting story that entertains as well as makes us think.  Ms.Ludwig has batted in a winner and I enjoyed it a lot.  I am so looking forward to book two in this series.
