Elizabeth Camden is one of my favorite historical fiction authors, and now she’s shown that she can write fantastic, riveting contemporary fiction as well. The Summerlin orange grove located in rural Florida has been in Jenny Summerlin’s family for years when she inherits it. When a body and a treasure are found on her property, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery. Former love Wyatt Rossiter gets involved with the case, which is a complication and distraction for Jenny. I liked Jenny’s independent, hard-working spirit and her determination to make a success of the orange grove. I also liked Wyatt’s compassion and his care of Jenny.
Camden is a master at creating realistic, engaging, multi-layered characters and building fascinating, compelling plots around them. I enjoyed learning more about the challenges of orange growing, and I loved all the historical tidbits involved in the story. The mystery woven into the tale added elements of suspense and intrigue. I highly recommend this author and book to those who enjoy well-written clean and wholesome stories.
