Book Description:
Love and suspense with a dash of Southern Gothic...
From the author of Beach Rental and Kincaid's Hope
Rachel Sevier, a thirty-two year old inventory specialist, travels to Wynnedower Mansion in Virginia to find her brother who has stopped returning her calls. Instead, she finds Jack Wynne, the mansion's bad-tempered owner. He isn't happy to meet her. When her brother took off without notice, he left Jack in a lurch.
Jack has his own plans. He's tired of being responsible for everyone and everything and wants nothing more than to shake his obligations, including the old mansion. The last thing he needs is someone who'll complicate his life further, but he agrees to allow Rachel to stay while she waits for her brother to return.
At Wynnedower, Rachel becomes curious about the house and its owner. If rumors are true, the means to save Wynnedower Mansion from demolition are hidden within its walls, but the other inhabitants of Wynnedower have agendas, too. Not only may Wynnedower's treasure be stolen, but also the life of its arrogant master.
In letting go of what she has struggled to control and hold onto, will Rachel gain more than she could have dreamed? Or will she lose everything and everyone she cares about?

My Opinion:
When I started this book I thought it was going to be along the lines and in the time of Jane Eyre. Well it does have a great feel toward Jane Eyre and Beauty and the Beast in a way (which I LOVED), but the time is in the present. This is not a fault, but still I was surprised. As I started getting into the story I got so excited I didn't want to put it down! I love Grace's play on words and descriptions of every scene. I did feel that some of the transitions where a little sporadic, but that added to the story in it's own way also. And the only other fault I have with this book is that I, personally, wanted a little more Faith writing. More prayers, a little scripture, etc. These are the only faults I have with the book over all it is FABULOUS!!! Shocking to the end, and I do mean the VERY end! I loved the characters, the setting, the surprises, and the plot! Filled with secrets, mystery, and a hidden treasure A Stranger in Wynnedower is a great adventure and a great read!!! :)
My songs for this book are: "Karaoke - Hallelujah" by Karaoke - Rufus Wainwright, "Long Shot" by Kelly Clarkson, and "Falling In" by Lifehouse
Proverbs 3:5-6
