Cornerstone of Love
by Susan Carlisle
Susan Carlisle does an amazing job with this book. She outlines the characters lives/roles in the story with just enough detail at the beginning, leaving you wanting more.
Ian Chalmers, a Lord and Head of Hartley Shipping and Allison Moore,the American construction engineer both have opinions of each other based upon first glance, that they begin to find out throughout the book are not as true as they thought.
Ians father dies suddenly years earlier making him instantly the head of the family company, as well as the new Lord Hartley. He takes on work that he believes what his father would want,not having much of a life outside work.
Allison was raised an "army brat" moving all over the world making her want to finally put some roots down at her grandparents home in Alabama. Allison is the engineer hired to fix a part of Hartley Castle.
One of my favourite things about the book is that she is in what a lot of people would consider a male dominated career,which is one of the things herself and Ian first discuss, he questions her ability because she is a woman,when he was expecting a male. I love that Susan did this, as it shows women everywhere can enter what is conceived as a male dominated career.
The attraction between them is evident from the beginning but both continue to fight their feelings. Susan does a great job at weaving their backgrounds together as both start to loosen up allowing them to be together,but threatening to tear them apart at the same time.
It's a rollercoaster of emotions for the characters and as the reader! I enjoyed every minute of reading it.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgally and the publishers.
