Bieldfell. Scotland, 1933—Falsely accused of murder sixteen years ago, American cowboy Benjamin Ford has chosen to hide out in the Scottish Highlands. Reclusive and not afraid to die, he rescues children out of an increasingly dangerous Germany. When his childhood best friend appears at his door, he's not the boy she remembers.
Eleanor Finch's life ended sixteen years ago. In one horrible day, she lost her dreams, her reputation, and her heart. However, she never gives up the hope of finding her friend, so when she learns of Ben's whereabouts, she leaves all that is familiar to convince him to return home.
But Eleanor isn't the only person searching for Ben. Hunters follow her trail. The thin veil of gossip and rumor may be their only chance of a future ... unless the Loch Ness Monster is real after all.
Historical Romantic Suspense books are are always an interesting read. The Recluse's Vindication by Danielle Grandinetti is the latest in this genre that I have read. The books is part of a series written by various authors, Our House on Heather Wynd.I dove right into the book as I have been excited about the release. The setting is 1933 in Bieldfell. Scotland. The main characters are American cowboy Benjamin Ford and Eleanor Finch. Ben has been living in Scotland for 16 years, having fled from American after killing a man in self defense. Eleanor has always had hope she would eventually find Ben, her friend and cares for him deeply, even after many years. Ben is quite surprised when Eleanor shows up in Scotland after 16 years of him hiding out there. Unfortunately, Eleanor isn't the only one who came to Scotland to find Ben, as hunters also discovered his whereabouts and followed Eleanor. I really enjoyed reading Ben and Eleanor's story and how they reunited. Eleanor never stopped thinking of Ben and their reunion gives them a chance to rekindle their friendship and express their true feelings after all these years. I also like that the author incorporates Faith into the book. The story has so many twists and turns, which kept me captivated and focused on the story. The book is Action Packed Suspense and Romance. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romantic Suspense. FANTASTIC BOOK!
