The Thrill of Romantic Suspense Meets the Romance of
1800s America Lured by a handful of scribbled words across a faded letter. Cara Hamilton sets off from 1897 Ireland on a
quest to find the brother she’d thought dead.
Her search lands her in America, amidst a houseful of strangers and one
man who claims to be a friend – Rourke Walsh.
Despite her brother’s warning, Cara decides to trust Rourke and reveals
the truth about her purpose in America.
But he is not who he claims to be, and as rumors begin to circulate
about an underground group of dangerous revolutionaries, Cara’s desperation
grows. Her questions lead her ever
closer to her brother, but they also bring her closer to destruction as Rourke’s true intentions come to light.
My Review:
Cara Hamilton is on the ship “Servia” in February of
1897 crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Ireland to America. She is coming to find her twin brother Eoghan
whom she thought to be dead until she received a letter from him. Thinking of Eoghan she clutched the leather
bracelet she wore on her wrist, Eoghan had an identical one, they were given to
them by their father on their sixteenth birthday.
As Cara disembarked the ship and made her way to a
boarding house she thought about the warning in her brother’s letter to “trust
no one. Speak to no one until I can come
for you.” Then she meets Rourke Walsh
whom she ends up loving and confides in him the secret of why she has come to
America and the disappearance of her brother Eoghan. Little does she know that Rourke is not who
he professes to be.
At the boarding house she meets the other women living
there, most of whom are pleasant and appear above board except for
Deirdre. From the get go she seems to
have a problem with Cara and appears to dislike her very much. Cara goes on a bit of an investigation to
find out who Deidre really is, where she goes and what she is really up
to. Then she finds Deidre snooping
through her room and confronts her but Deidre will admit nothing other than
saying she thought she saw a rat scampering into Cara’s room and went in after
it.
Cara is getting more and more worried as Eoghan has
not yet contacted her. Where can he be
and why is he taking so long to make contact with her?
No Safe
Harbor is filled with mystery, danger, and suspense and will
keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next calamity. A great historical romantic suspense.
