REVIEW OF
CELTIC KNOT
BY TAMMY DOHERTY
I liked this book so much! But, then again, I’ve always liked western historicals. Tammy Doherty hits the mark with this novel. It’s superbly written with vocabulary, language, and phrases appropriate to the period in which it is set. Fast paced and suspenseful.
In Celtic Knot, Abby Finnigan struggles to raise her daughter after the death of her husband. Basically alone, she receives no help from her family, since her father and brothers were abusive, and she never got along with any of them, but one. In an attempt to protect her heart, she vows not to get too close to anyone, especially another man. Until she meets Kyle . . .
Secret Service Operative Kyle Lachapelle is undercover in Prophecy to investigate a counterfeiting case. From the moment he meets Abby, he is intrigued and attracted to her, and adores her little girl. But in light of the fact that she is related to the family he is investigating, he is unsure if he can trust her.
The two are confused by each others’ attitudes and secretiveness yet can’t resist opening their hearts. As love begins to bloom, will Abby turn out to be a participant in the case Kyle is working on? Will Abby’s doubts about who Kyle is be justified? Or will God’s love conquer their fears?
Again, this novel kept my interest all the way through. The interesting characters and plot are well thought out. The vivid scenery is set as though the reader has entered that era. And now, assuming this author’s first two books are written just as well, I am contemplating reading those, too.
If you like inspirational western historical romance, I highly recommend Celtic Knot.
