MEET ME IN VIRGINIA by Elizabeth Camden, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #ReleaseDAy

A Heartfelt Contemporary Romance (Far & Away Book 1) 
 
PAULA'S REVIEW:
I love this author when she writes historical books and am captivated by her contemporary offerings.
 
This was an enemies-to-love trope with a love triangle and scandal thrown in for good measure.
 
The part I liked most was the historical angle about The Roost, a 300 year old building and the mystery surrounding its original owners from the 1600s.
 
The story was so much more than a romance. It was about complex family relationships which begged for healing and forgiveness. The setting was a favorite place of mine: Williamsburg, Virginia and told a bit about William and Mary College. The information about building a golf course and Jack, his health issues and background was very interesting.
 
If you enjoy Ms Camden’s historical stories, try one of her contemporaries. You will not be disappointed.
*A complimentary copy of the book was provided by the author. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.*4 stars and a faint faith thread
 
BackCover Blurb:
She believes in elegance and tradition. He’s all about grit and smashing through obstacles. Together, they’re a disaster waiting to happen—or the perfect match.

Alice Chadwick, a history professor devoted to the genteel values of Jane Austen’s world, has spent her career championing kindness and mannerly comportment in a cutthroat academic environment. But her dream of elevating Austen’s ideals is on the brink of collapse—her colleagues want her fired, and a scandal threatens to ruin her completely.

Enter Jack Latimer, a world-renowned golf course architect with zero patience for old-world charm. He’s brash, bold, and determined to build his masterpiece on a valuable stretch of Virginia property—even if it means demolishing the historic building Alice hopes could save her career.

When their clashing goals spark fiery confrontations, neither is prepared for the unexpected discovery hidden on the property—a find that could save them both if they can stop bickering long enough to work together. As their partnership deepens, so does the inconvenient attraction simmering between them. Will their undeniable chemistry lead to a happily-ever-after—or will their differences derail them both?
