Beyond All Dreams
By Elizabeth Camden
Anna O’Brien is a map librarian at the Library of
Congress, pleased to be doing what she loves and satisfied with her predictable
life. When she stumbles upon what seems
to be an error in the record of the ship on which her father was working when
it mysteriously sank, she brings it to the attention of the Navy in an attempt
to discover what really happened. What
she doesn’t expect is the vehement objections of the commanding officers to her
discovery, and the stern warning to stop her investigation in view of keeping
her beloved job at the Library. When the
dashing Luke Callahan, congressman from Maine, enters her life and offers to
help, Anna is pleased but cautious – knowing that Mr. Callahan has a reputation
for having a bad temper and also for getting what he wants. The pair has no idea what they will encounter
in their investigation, and what they might discover they feel toward one
another.
This is a great new book from Elizabeth Camden. I have come to enjoy her books, and this was
no exception. I really liked Anna and
her passion for her work and study. Luke
was easy to like as well, but approached with a bit of caution as the reader
tries to find his true character under his charming exterior. The story is filled with interesting twists
and turns as we get a glimpse at life in late 1800s Washington DC. Overall I give this book an A: a well-written,
clean, romantic mystery.
I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House
Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
