This is a book is a romance/ historical fiction. When Maggie Lee decides she has had enough of the spotlight of an accomplished opera singer she sets out to give it all up and go live in country, a quiet solitude life. Maggie Lee finds the right house to move to and one day comes across a hurt stranger, Oliver and takes him in until he gets better, once he is better he must leave. Story done, right? Wrong.... this is where it all begins. Maggie Lee and Oliver find they have feelings for each other, however they both can't trust each other. Through their backgrounds, neither is sharing all they know, and when things start to come out the plot thickens..... Will they survive together? Do they end up with heartbreak because neither tell the truth? And what is really the truth and who can you trust?I would recommend this to those that enjoy a good read with a story that keeps changing and moving in different directions. The characters all have different agenda's and personalities so that keeps you guessing of what really is going to happen. This takes place in 1861 in England and is one of those that takes you back to that era. So if you like the books that take you back into time, this is for you.

What comes to mind when you hear the word moor? For some, images of Jane Eyre spring to life. For others, The Hound of the Baskervilles starts barking. But for most, it’s a big fat goose egg. The fact is that most Americans don’t have a clue what a moor is, but never fear, my friend…after you read the next few paragraphs, you’ll never again go blank-minded when you hear the word moor.Last summer I skipped across the pond and tromped around Dartmoor with my daughter and husband. What an awesome experience. I learned first-hand just how windy this vast stretch of land can be, for that’s really what a moor is at heart: a vast stretch of land. Webster’s defines it as an expanse of open rolling infertile land. Sounds rather desolate, eh? Yeah. Kind of. But it’s oh so much more.
In spring and summer, green does abound. Gorse bushes. Scrubby grasses. Lambs and sheep and goats. All these animals roam free so there are trails worn into the dirt that you can hike along. But I hear you…where could you possibly go if there’s nothing besides some farm animals roaming around the place?
You could hike to a tor, which is a “high, craggy hill.” Some of them can be a little treacherous to climb, but sweet mercy, what a view! The earth stretches out like a green and brown quilt. As I hiked that day last spring, whispers in the wind inspired me to wonder a lot of what-ifs, and those what-ifs came together in a story of intrigue and betrayal.
What would you do if you found a half-dead man bleeding in the middle of nowhere? Find out what heroine Maggie Lee does in The House at the End of the Moor.
