Product Description
Review
The House on the Shore is an enjoyable read. In it, Victoria Howard presents a well-crafted page turner that unfolds at just the right pace, ensuring that the reader's attention is held captive with each new mysterious development.
Howard also does a commendable job of infusing her characters with vivid, palpable personality, framing their inclinations and reactions in the three-dimensional, thus making it easy for readers to relate to them in very real, practical terms.
A quick but compelling read, The House on the Shore is a can't miss suspense thriller with a surprisingly potent punch, and one that fans of the genre are sure to enjoy. --Renee Washburn Apex Reviews - 4 Stars --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
Review
The House on the Shore is a sensually suspenseful story filled with non-stop action, romance, and mystery. The facts of Scotland are told with brilliant description that bring the land to life and leave you feeling as if you have stepped out of your world and into the pages. Ms. Howard uses such passion and emotion when telling her story, making the tale flow right along until the last page is turned. With many different characters that will keep you guessing, this novel is the perfect example of how a suspenseful story should be told. ...Thrilling until the very end, this book has a who-done-it attitude with such an aching tone of sensuality and love, it will keep you up all night just so you can finish this fantastic tale.

Fantastic Scottish Love Story with a Supenseful Twist,
By
This review is from: The House on the Shore (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It's set in a remote part of Scotland, which Anna MacDonald moves to when she decides to leave her job, flat and relationship in Edinburgh, after being betrayed by her boyfriend, Mark.She flees to her late grandmother's croft in Scotland and plans to write her first novel. But soon she meets Luke, an American sailor, who turns up near the croft when a part on his boat breaks. There is a real passion developing between Luke and Anna, but at the same time, somebody is pursuing her and is out to scare her, and maybe even kill her. When I started reading I realised that this is a romance novel, and I did wonder if I would find it a bit sickly-sweet. However, it's not like that at all and I found it a totally engrossing, well-written novel. The story reels you in until you discover who is out to get Anna and why. I was also loving the relationship and friction/passion between Luke and Anna. Luke is a lovely creation - strong, handsome, caring, with his own demons in his past. I think that Victoria Howard did a very good job of portraying the Scottish people and surroundings. Unfortunately, her publishers didn't do a good job of having the book proof-read, but the mistakes didn't detract from my reading at all. I recommend this to anybody who loves Scotland, and who enjoys a love story, with the added bonus of suspense.

A Great Read,
By Brenda Hill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The House on the Shore (Paperback)
For someone who is of Scots-Irish descent, reading a romantic suspense set on the shores of Loch Hourn was a delight. The House on the Shore had romance, suspense, and a glimpse into the lives of Scots past and present. The heartrending `story within the story' added just enough background to truly appreciate Anna's determination to protect her land.Don't miss the latest from romance author Victoria Howard. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Anna MacDonald and Luke Tallantyre are destined to be counted in as one of the great love stories - This suspenseful novel was filled with passion and intrigue. Ms. Howard kept me turning the pages NEEDING to know what happened next.Her description of the Scottish countryside was phenomenal and allowed the reader to feel the beauty of the land as if they were actually there. I look forward to reading more of Victoria Howard's work. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

A secluded place,
By Wanda N. Stanley "WN Stanley" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The House on the Shore (Paperback)
"Anna did what she thought was best for herself after being betrayed and back-stabbed by Mark, her lover and colleague, she left her life as she knew it. She retreated to her grandparent old croft in the remote northwest highlands with her two faithful and trustworthy companions. She expected to be alone and find herself once again but that expectation was short lived. She finds herself in the company of a sexy, tall, stranded stranger named Luke.Silly me picked the nighttime to read this delightful and suspense filled tale of Anna MacDonald and her stay at Ting na Cladach. I fell in love with Luke and his persistence to break through Anna's shield of rejection that clearly protected her heart. Somewhere in the wee hours of the morning I had turned on every light in the house to continue reading. I enjoyed this book very much. It was a true page-turner... WN Stanley, Author of 'Journey to the Last River' and `In the Midst of Change'." |
