Review: Good, solid romantic suspense
Rating: 4 out of 5

The Witch's Stone has all the important elements of a good, romantic suspense novel: a heroine with baggage, a oil-and-water beginning to the relationship between her and the hero (who has baggage of his own), family secrets, quirky supporting characters, a plausible enough mystery and the right amount of steam and passion.  The author does a great job of setting the scene and creating the old house and surrounding community.  It makes it so much more satisfying to get into a story when you can picture yourself in the settings and feel what is happening to the characters.  The Witch's Stone isn't over-the-top intense with the suspense and terror, and at the same time, doesn't go on for 50 shades of sex scenes.  Instead, there's a nice balance between the romance and the suspense, with some humor, fresh writing and likeable characters.
