I very much enjoyed this debut novella by talented Author Laura J. Marshall. "Persistent Love" is set in 17th century England and the reader is given the delightful opportunity to learn about the ways of the world during this historic time.The suspenseful beginning starts with the Prologue...the untimely and mysterious murder of Tara's mother sets the pace for the story to unfold. Tara, at a very young age, has the misfortune of witnessing her mother's murder in what should have been the safety of their own home. Years later, when Tara's father inherits an old castle, Raven's Cliff, Tara is once again plagued by her curiosity to solve her mother's murder. On her initial arrival, Tara meets Andrew, who can be classified as her "knight in shining armor". It doesn't take long for their romance to blossom but not without the usual perils that are found in a suspense/mystery novel. With the mysterious disappearance of Tara, as well as her desire to return to India where her mother's murder took place, their new found love and faith are put to the test.Author Laura J. Marshall does a fine job of describing the enchanting castle on Raven's Cliff and the surrounding areas. I was immediately drawn into the scene and the storyline. "Persistent Love" is an enjoyable read and very refreshing indeed!Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
