Having suffered a panic attack during a performance, violinist Meredith Stranraer flees to the small town of Paradise where her grandparents live. For some strange reason, they don’t want her around, and their rejection is more than unsettling. It’s downright alarming.
Jeremiah Mantle is the local forest ranger. His assignment is to watch the girl in the red cloak from a distance--to protect her as well as the forest. Falling in love, however, is definitely not in his job description. But it becomes increasingly harder to deny their mutual attraction.
But this Christmas, something wicked waits in the woods, and a dark past seems determined to rip them apart.
I so enjoyed this well-written Christmas tale! Meredith and Jeremiah’s attraction was instant and I always love a little spark that catches right away and builds throughout the story, ultimately becoming a force to be reckoned with. Shadows of a familiar fairy tale weave a fine thread through the tapestry of this story line – a bright, riveting thread that demands to be followed from beginning to end. An underlying mystery tantalizes -- quietly seduces the reader’s attention -- yet doesn’t overpower. Ms. Revell walks that subtle dividing line with grace and finesse. Completely enchanting!
I'm a long-time fan of Clare Revell - but this book finally smacked me over the head with the reasons why I'm always drawn into her suspenseful, loving, Christ-based romances. She writes books like Alfred Hitchcock and M Night Shyamalan direct and produce engrossing and captivating movies. A hint of an answer here, a red herring there, light here, dark there--Down in Yon Forest shines a bright light on her skills as a storyteller and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey! BRAVA!!
I loved this story. An emotional stage performance chases violinist Meredith to visit her grandparents. The dark wood, presence of evil, and the red cloak are familiar. The added element of protective Jeremiah makes it sigh-worthy. The romance /suspense makes it a delightful read. Clare Revell gets me every time.
