Set in 1901 New York, "Journey's end" is the story of Caroline St. James, a young woman who grew up poor and hungry on the streets of London. After her mother died, Caroline gambled to get the money to come to America where she planned to confront her wealthy grandfather to find out why he allowed her mother to die in poverty. Her plan takes on a different twist when she meets Jackson Montgomery, a very handsome man who also seems to be hiding something from his past.

I was annoyed at the number of ways the author found to call Jackson "masculine," as well as the constant references to him as "the man." The way Caroline responded to him, one would have thought that men existed just so all women could feel happy and secure. I also felt the constant references to sundry Bible verses didn't belong in the storyline because, from the beginning, Caroline admitted to not having any interest in God. All of a sudden she becomes religious, seeking wisdom from above for every move. It doesn't feel believable.
The book ended abruptly without revealing why Lucian had left town unexpectedly, why Sally left her past employer, and why Elizabeth and Lucian seemed to be interested in each other. Is a sequel planned? I hope not, because I won't be reading it.

I wasn't a fan, but will leave it up to you to decide if you want to read it or not.

An English woman comes to America out for revenge on her grandfather but finds surprises instead.
This is a faith based book which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's not preachy, just very low key. ( )

An e-book my daughter suggested. I loved the book it has everything romance, intrigue, and mystery. It was a real page turner. I will be looking for more books by this author. ( )
