Thornbrook Park by Sherri Browning Erwin
2.0
I really want historical romance novels not set in Regency England, and the Edwardian era seemed like a great fit. Unfortunately, this one didn't come through for me. I think the word I would probably use is "adequate." It's an adequate romance novel that doesn't make devastatingly good use of the setting; I didn't really get a feel for the era and it felt kind of like the book could have been set during any time period from about 1800-1930 without any substantial changes. The plot is a perfectly nice standard romance novel plot with perhaps a few too many frissons thrown in and a mystery that is not very mysterious but, again, adequate. It did feel like the author was reluctant to place the heroine in real peril for most of the book; . All in all, like I said, adequate, but it just didn't click for me.
