Excellent novel, Julie Klassen excels at penning stories that have intrigue, mystery, and depth. If you are the "quicky" type of reader that lacks patience and does not care to savor a novel, then this story is just not for you. At points during the novel I really wanted to know what the fuss was bout in this mysterious house. What was the treasure and why was so many parties concerned?? but there is no use skipping pages! One is just going to have to wait it out to find out the secrets of Pembrooke park. I adore sweet, convincing romances that don't fast-forward to intimacy but display the characters growing together and deliberately making a choice to be together. I found the romance in this novel just right. The length and complexity of the story allowed for multiple characters and relationships. I only wish the author included a character legend at the beginning of the book so that readers like myself could refer to them easily. Especially since the book included people posing as 'persons they were not". Near the end of the book I found that I forgot who "Mr. Morris" is and irritated me tremendously. I considered going back to find out, but the book is to lengthy for that.
