Review: No Safe Harbor

In 1897, lovely Cara Hamilton travels from Ireland to America to be reunited with the twin brother that she thought she had lost.  But, she has no idea where  he might be in the big, strange city of New York.  She is very lucky to find a new friend and ally in kind, handsome Rourke Walsh.  Or, is she?

Elizabeth Ludwig's No Safe Harbor (Bethany House Publishers, 2012) is a historical romance with suspense to spare.  As Cara's search for her brother draws her closer to the shadowy world of the Irish revolutionaries in New York and she realizes that she can trust no one, her terror and confusion become palpable to the reader.  Ludwig does a wonderful job, particularly towards the end of the book, of keeping the tension high and the pages turning.

I would have loved for Ludwig to have included more information on the Fenian Brotherhood (the Irish revolutionary group involved in the story). I think it would have made for a richer experience for the reader and given more depth to the characters. Even so, No Safe Harbor is very entertaining, and I recommend it.
