4.5 stars
Spencerville, Virginia was a fairly protected place in the late 1970's, where Rocky's big brother, Paul, is the local troublemaking teenager. Rocky is enamored with his big brother and is dealt a blow when Paul decides to kidnap him and almost leaves him alone in the middle of the forest. After Paul disappears, Rocky is forced to grow up without him. I enjoyed this book from start to finish. The characters were well developed and complex. This book was so well-written, but not in a way that slowed down the reading of it. Instead it flowed seamlessly through the years of this family and town and kept me reading late into the night. I received an digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange or an honest review.
Sutherland's Secret by Sharron Cullen
4.5 stars
Brice Sutherland, Earl of Dornach, is patrolling the Scottish countryside when he discovers an unconscious, beaten, starved, ragged Englishwoman on the side of the road. Not knowing what to do with her, and suspecting her imminent death, he takes her with him so that she won't have to die alone. Eleanor surprises him though and lives to return to his castle. These characters are just the best. Eleanor has been through torture and still bounces back to make the best of her situation. Brice is loyal and protective and strives to the best thing for his people, regardless of his own feelings. The side characters were all interesting and I now want to see books based on a few of those. I will definitely be waiting for the next books in this series.
