There are some historical romance authors whose books I will pick up without really reading the back cover blurb because I know I'll enjoy the story no matter. Michelle Griep has become one of those authors. I will admit to being intrigued by the title, The House At The End Of The Moor, and the mysterious cover with the lady in the red dress which is quite startling against the misty background.
As I had picked the book up without any previous knowledge of the storyline I was a bit surprised when it started out in Dartmoor Prison. A dark dank place of which I had vaguely heard of somewhere in my vast reading history. Yep, our hero is in gaol, and that is spelled correctly, for a crime he didn't commit. However, he escapes and lands on the doorstep of the one woman who can either land him back in prison or help him clear his name. But, in the meantime, they both have their secrets and they also have some unpleasant and dangerous men on their tail...
As with any of Michelle Griep's historical romances there is a strong emotional element woven through the seemingly disparate threads of the story. Both Maggie and Oliver have had difficult relationships with their fathers, something that even people today can easily relate to. Both of them will need to lean on grace and learn forgiveness for the past.
With a title like The House At The End Of The Moor you know you really can't go wrong in choosing to read it. It didn't take me long to finish it and now I find myself in the position of waiting. Waiting for the author's next release. Not very patiently waiting...

Would have given more stars as possible
This excellently written story involves some weighty themes. The reader is lead to really care about the two protagonists, to care about their physical and spiritual well-being. The author creates great tension in the story as both of these things are threatened with no easy solution in sight. Readers will be challenged with the same questions as the lead characters. How do we demonstrate that we believe all life has equal value? How do we champion the poor, and how do we avoid reverse discrimination by not realizing the needs of the wealthy, different though they may be? How well do we truly know God, and how are we trying to come to know Him better? Are we honestly embracing mercy, grace, and forgiveness, both as givers and receivers? It takes a very talented writer to handle such deep thoughts while keeping her readers thoroughly entertained, and Michelle Griep is up to the task. I most highly recommend The House at the End of the Moor, and am grateful to have received a copy from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
