Author: Rebecca Hemlock
Publisher: Bluecap Publishing
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: March 16th

Memories can be a killer.


When Levi Corbin returns to Granton, Tennessee after the death of his beloved grandmother, it sets off a chain of events he’d rather have avoided. Claiming his inheritance should have been a piece of cake, but a cousin appears, threatening to steal it all.


Even worse (and better, too), he’s falling for the girl he just met and now must team up with her to try to stop his cousin. Their quest for his inheritance uncovers secrets frozen in time—and one might just be the answer to save his grandmother’s home.


Things go from worse to completely out of hand when a freak fire threatens it all. Add to that a nosy old woman and a battered runaway, and Levi can’t help but wonder what is going on!


As circumstances rekindle his faith and new love spurs him onward, Levi races against time and odds to save Grandma’s house from certain destruction, but the result might just mean saving himself as well.

My Thoughts


This is my second book by Rebecca Hemlock and I must say she has such a great knack for writing believable and intriguing characters. This book follows cousins Levi and Silas who have been at each others throats since they were younger. Grandma sets out to make it right by stating in her will that they must get along in order to get anything. Here is where the problem lies as these two people have held resentment for so long that only God can be the one to intervene between them to transform their lives and forgive each other. 

There is a mystery to the story as well which makes the suspense part so good and captivating to read. I will say there is a little romance sprinkled in but to me it wasn't the focus of the book. Overall I thought this was a good read and I would recommend it if you enjoy suspense and mystery stories. 

My Rating: 3.5 Stars/I liked it!

I received this book through Celebrate Lit. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Looking for new ideas is my favorite part of writing because it comes with talking to interesting people and exploring antique shops all over the country.

This book not only captures my love for American history and riveting romantic suspense, but it also captures how old wounds of the heart can be healed.

Levi Corbin in The Secret of the 14th Room learns this the hard way after carrying his broken heart for most of his adult life. He has to discover the real meaning of family and family pride. Levi must face the past so that he can move on to a brighter future.

Granton, Tennessee, is a town I hope you fall in love with, just as I did when I created it. There are so many delightful characters, some with a dark secret or two. This story has been brewing for a while, and I am glad that I finally have the opportunity to share it with you.
