Summary: Romantic intrigue worth keeping
Review:

Except for one person, all the citizens of Keepsake, Connecticut were frightened by the cold blooded murder of a pregnant Alison Bennett. The police investigation focused on her wealthy uncle's gardener. Everyone starts to act as if Quinn was already convicted except Alison's cousin Olivia who felt she knew the family gardener well enough to believe he could not be a killer. Tired from the silent accusations, Francis Leary accompanied by his teenage son Quinn quietly sneak out of town. Most of the townsfolk were pleased with the news, but no one ever felt safe again.

Seventeen years later, Francis has just died and Quinn returns to Keepsake to prove his father's innocence. The residents do not wish to relive the horror of that incident and treat Quinn accordingly. Still, he is not the weak person that his father was. Nothing stands in the way of his quest to right a wrong. That is nothing except Olivia, who as always loved him and proves it by standing by Quinn. He too has found love, but must continue on his mission even if it exposes a member of her family.

By now, the secret is out that Antoinette Stockenberg is one hell of a writer. Her latest romantic intrigue, KEEPSAKE, lives up to its name as well as the previous works of the author by being a keeper. The story line is fast-paced and reflects a small New England town as few books do. Olivia is a warm, intelligent individual while everyone will jump for joy after reading about Quinn. If a romance reader has not tasted Ms. Stockenberg, they are missing some of the best works of the last few years.

Summary: KEEPSAKE is a keeper!
Review: Antoinette Stockenberg is one of my all-time favorite authors and KEEPSAKE is one of her best. Quinn and Olivia manage to be both admirable and interesting and the mystery kept me guessing until the very end. As far as I'm concerned, Ms. Stockenberg is the only writer working today who could be an heir to Mary Stewart's romantic suspense crown.

Summary: very good
Review: I enjoyed this book and was even surprised with the resolution. I do wish that the story were just a little longer. It was over and then the epilogue wrapped it up too quickly.
