review 1: Even though I never read any of the historical books about the "original" Earl of Crofton, Anthony of the 'Crofton Chronicles', I tremendously enjoyed reading 'Saving Crofton Hall'. There was enough information about the past for me to understand some of what had happened and what role those events played in getting Crofton Hall to where it is today. More importantly though, the characters of Benjamin, who is the current Earl of Crofton, and Ashley, who helps him deal with the issues that threaten Benjamin's ancestral home, are simply wonderful. The sense of history both of them bring to the table is clear from the very beginning, and the issues they deal with as they focus on opening the house to the public were realistic, fascinating, and kept me turning the pages.Benjam... morein is faced with a completely impossible situation. I admired his patience with his mother when he finds out what she's been up to - essentially stealing family money for her gambling - I don't think I would have had it in me to remain civil. Benjamin's speed in coming up with an alternative plan is admirable, and the decisiveness with which he makes things happen is amazing.Ashley is an experienced event manager, but it s his love of history that makes him the ideal man to make Crofton Hall a success. The fact he quickly falls for Benjamin, yet remains professional, also speaks for his strength of character. I enjoyed finding out about all the things he knows, and his handling of the many crises along the road was efficient, effective, and very impressive. If you like stories about professionals who know what their doing, if you want to find out what a modern-day earl might get up to when financial disaster strikes, and if you're looking for an entertaining read with lots of fascinating historical facts thrown in, then you will probably enjoy this novel. I have to admit, it has tempted me to go back and read the historical trilogy.NOTE: This book was provided by Dreamspinner Press for the purpose of a review.
review 2: I'm a bit puzzled by this book. Fresh, still are the memories of Anthony and Sebastian story, so rich of passion and sentiments as of intrigues and original plot. So I keep reading waiting for passion and more on Benny and Ashley story, but two hundred pages seem to me are a lot . Overall , this book is more about the manor house than the said couple, helpful for new wedding planer no much for the balance of plot. But I like the writing by Rebecca Cohen , her originality and wit so I'll read the next in hope to enjoy more. less
