The Falcon Heart

by Jaroldeen Edwards

Fresh from a broken engagement, Shelby longs to be free of the sorrows of her past and to reach toward a future of love and trust. But when a surprise inheritance brings her from New York to Utah, she learns family secrets that throw her into confusion with the questions they raise. Why did her stern grandfather turn his only daughter away when she needed him most? How did Shelby's mother and father die? And why did her grandfather never contact her, though he knew where she was? Uncertainties also surround two men who are part of her new environment. Stan, a sophisticated lawyer, clearly wants to offer Shelby more than friendship. But so does Jordan, whose ambitious building project will help promote her own business aspirations. Or will it? Can she trust Jordan? Or is he just flattering her to further his own interests? Set against the breathtaking background of a mountain called Falcon's Eyrie, The Falcon Heart is a deftly painted canvas of romance, mystery, and intrigue.

I didn't like the main characters, especially Harley. She seemed very shallow and spoiled. It seemed like the author tried to tell us to judge people by the clothes they wear and by how cute they are. The descriptions of the clothes and "looks" of the characters took up much space in this book. I only read about 2/3 of the book. Maybe it got better.

Meh. Clean romance written by a Mormon and has some Mormon culture references. Didn't like the main characters who both got overdramatic at times, writing focused a lot on looks and clothes in an unnatural way that pulled me out of the story. It was ok enough to finish but I wouldn't recommend it.

I knew Jaroldeen Edwards's granddaughter, so I decided to read something by her. It was definitely not my thing (I don't care what people are wearing; stop telling me), but I guess if you are into romance, this was fine. It felt formulaic, but not in a cynical way. It was just... I want to say forgettable, but I remember several things - one character was going to develop the canyon, but it was going to be in a respectful way that complemented the natural scenery (she said that several times in the book), and one of the two guys turned out to be a jerk, and a falcon's nest is called an eyrie! So I guess it wasn't totally forgettable.
