Longing for Home by Sarah M. Eden

3.0

I didn't go into expecting too much, as my previous attempt at a Sarah M. Eden book did not end up with me liking it enough to continue. I think the fact that it wasn't Regency is actually what kept me interested. I liked that although technically a romance, there was more to the story than the romance--more conflict than what a man thought of the heroine. For the genre, it was entertaining, engaging, not too flowery--though a I really wanted to get poor Katie into some therapy for her daddy & guilt issues. I read a friend's review that the ending was pretty abrupt. I have to agree, although it is not a stand-alone book, it was still left at a cliff-hanger, though not necessarily in a good way. I'm currently reading the sequel, which doesn't waste any time picking up where this one leaves off.

I really liked the look into Irish culture. I found myself googling some of the songs, Gaelic pronunciations, and recipes for Irish soda bread.
