About A Hero’s Heart: Seeking safety and comfort offered by her beloved Aunt Vonnie, Victoria Ansley flees to Sea Grass Cove to escape a violent blackmailer. Moments after her arrival in the small tourist town, the no-nonsense town sheriff informs her Vonnie has gone missing. Almost immediately, random events suggest the building which houses her aunt’s home as well as her popular bakery might be key to Vonnie’s disappearance. While waiting for her aunt to be found, Victoria takes over the running of the business and starts learning the intricacies of pastry making. She and the sheriff begin a methodical search of the building—and discover dead bodies, a hidden speakeasy-casino, and a desiccated skeleton.
Blake Morrison’s job as the
local sheriff would be a breeze—if not for Victoria Ansley. The woman
attracts trouble like bears to honey. While he doesn’t believe she
has any part in the kidnapping or murders, one ‘accident’ after another proves
to be too much for his comfort level so he moves into the house as a bodyguard.
Knowing his attraction to her will only complicate matters, he maintains a
strict hands-off posture.
As pressure from local politicians and
townspeople mounts, suspects start coming out of the walls, putting both
Victoria and Blake at risk—not only for their very lives but for their hearts.
Our
Review: Evelyn Timidaiski’s first attempt at
writing a mystery is a home run. Following advice from experts, she keeps the
hits on coming, one more dangerous than the last. Balancing the mystery
surrounding the historic Maine cottage is the sweet romance between Victoria
and Blake—turning the story into a winner all around.
Based
on a scale of 1-5, A Hero’s Heart merits a 6.
