This book has romance and mystery entwined in a fast paced story. I loved the characters and their personalities. I was worried about James being able to make Paisley believe his intentions were sincere. I didn’t want to put the book down!

I’ve never read anything by this author before but I do love a good mystery and this cover was so pretty, I knew I needed to try it.
After starting the book, I realized there were previous books to this one…a book about each sibling in a family, and this one was James’ story. This book can totally be a stand alone, too, but there were mentions of the other siblings and their lives.
This story bounces around from different points of views. I understood having Paisley’s and James’ POV but then we randomly got another persons POV who wasn’t really a main character. I did get used to it, though. Oh and the prologue was also of another character that was barely mentioned.

Anyway, the plot line started off as interesting to me but then took on some odd twists. I also was hoping for maybe more chemistry between James and Paisley. Or maybe I just never really connected to either of them. I’m not sure. Something was missing for me to be fully engaged in this story but I’m sure it’s just personal preference. I know others have loved this story.

Danger on the Loch by Paige Edwards is a unique novel that combines mystery and romance set in a distinct Scottish setting. Paige longs to find her birth father and is surprised to find who he is. Along the way, a good friend becomes much more as they uncover a mystery and face great danger. This book has interesting characters and a plot with many twists and turns. I think readers of romantic suspense would really enjoy it. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

This is my first book by Paige Edwards and I must say that I LOVED it! She did such a wonderful job combining romance and mystery. Paisley and James have been friends forever and yet never saw one another in any other way. James is currently in Scotland for work when Paige discovers her father through DNA testing.

That testing leads her to Scotland as well and it helps that James in there, since everything is so new. As Paisley is meeting her father and learning that she is now a titled lady James is her steadfast rock. All of this change in her life brings James into a new light and they begin to see what was most always there between them.

Then Paisley takes a picture that could end both of their lives. Like I said, this is such a well written book. Both Paisley and James are likeable characters. They both are genuine people. Paige works on mending her relationship with her father while James is concerned with not only doing the job he has been sent to do but to also care for Paisley.

This is a clean Romantic Suspense but it's refreshing and will have you on the edge of your seats.

The plot was very well written and I cannot wait for another book. This was from a new to me and great author. I really enjoyed the book. Will definitely recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read by Paige Edwards. Paisley was an excellent female protagonist who has grown up having been told by her mother that they were abandoned by Paisley's father when she was a baby. Paisley's mother is busy being a district attorney and has never given Paisley much love or attention. I am interested in genealogy and was excited when Paisley had DNA testing done! I imagined her excitement when she received a letter and airline ticket to Scotland from her father! Then the shock to arrive in Scotland and discover she is a "lady"! The suspense, danger and romance began with her arrival at the family castle in Scotland! I recommend Danger on the Loch to others who enjoy reading about Scotland. I received a complimentary e-book of this clean story through NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.

The formatting of this ARC drove me nuts - it would jump all around and three times in a row it took me from where they were searching for Paisley & Torquil in the dungeons back to the title page! So frustrating! I appreciated the pacing and the narrative voice in the story. Paisley was a bit of a do-go oder in the way that she never got angry, never saw the worst in people and es always polite. I wanted to smack her to be honest…. She was too much of a stereotype for me to identify with.

This just may be one of my top five favorite books I’ve read this year. I was so incredibly impressed with the author.
This is the first Paige Edwards book I’ve read and I immediately liked her writing style and her descriptions.
This is a story I would read over again in a heartbeat. I don’t usually do suspense, because I’m a wuss, but I loved the way the author balanced all the aspects of the story. It was definitely a page turner that I just could not put down, but I never got too intense, or too dramatic. She built both the suspenseful and relationship tension with such a fabulous ebb and flow I was captivated from page one.
The story had a little bit of a “What a Girl Wants” vibe but oh so better. The characters were actually likeable. The villain was not entirely clear, though not completely unexpected. I am completely in love with Paisley and James and you better believe I will now be reading all the other books in this series.
With incredibly intelligent writing and religious overtones which were subtle and incredibly well written. I am 100% a Paige Edwards fan now.

A contemporary romantic suspense set in the glens of Scotland that whisked me away with a rivetingly winding plot filled with intrigue.

A book that had me glued to the page, this book has it all with mysterious secrets to unwind, well realized characters, amazing relationship development between various characters, satisfying romance, all against the lush backdrop of a Scottish castle. I admired Paisley for her strong convictions regarding her faith, and I loved how she and James are there for each other. There were so many amazing characters, like her grandmother and Paisley's 12 year old half-brother, and I enjoyed seeing Paisley get to know and form relationships with them.

I was absolutely blown away. This book that brings out all of the best parts of all of the elements that it brings to the table, with a twisting plot that kept me engaged and highly invested in all of the characters and their relationships, which made for a satisfying read. Highly recommend!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Romance, mystery, sweet, Contemporary; Series, but stand alone read
Paige's story was so well done. I hadn't read the other novels in this series, and after reading this one, had to read them all! Perfect mystery/suspense read, and loved the setting and the backstory behind Paige's father, the DNA test, and her trip to Scotland to figure out her place in that part of her family, and find if her heart has a home and loved one in her father. Loved the castle and all the intrigue there, the past as it gets exposed and the intrigue.
Her relationship with James was so fun to read, and his support during the intrigue and accidents was so well drawn. They were both great characters, and fun to read about another Pressley-Combs finding his one true heart-love. Loved reading the other novels and getting more of the back story (after I read this one). Lovely addition to this series and highly recommend if you like mystery/suspense with a bit of romance mixed in!

Danger on the Lock is a romantic suspense novel written by Paige Edwards. It is the third book in a series, but would read well as a stand alone also. The first two books (Catherine’s Intrigue and Deadly by Design) in the series were good and I enjoyed reading them but this one I loved! It was definitely the best of the series.

Danger on the Lock is a clean romance with great characters and a lot of suspense. Warning: once you start it is hard to put down! If you like romantic suspense novels I would highly recommend you read this book!

Danger on the Loch was a fun and exciting read. Some points were packed with action and kept me on the edge of my seat. Paisley was a fun character as we got to learn more about her family. She finds herself in almost a fairytale situation as she learns about her father. It isn't as good as it seems though between terrorists, a mean step mother, and feelings for her playboy best friend. At times I felt like I was missing things because I have not read the first two books, so I would recommend not reading out of order. I also wish at times that some of the side characters would have been developed a little more since there were times I got confused who the character was. Overall such a fun read. I will definitely be reading the other book in this series and hope to read Ben's story too. Thanks net galley and covenant communication for the copy to read.

Sweet romance based in scotland. I enjoyed the twins relationship and paisley was a fun character. Her father and mother really annoyed me but I think they were saposed to. I gave it a 3 star because it didn't really grab me. I tried really hard but I ended up skipping through it to finish. I usually don't read contemporary novels so I shouldn't have even tried. I'm sure it's a lovely novel for most people.

I received a free copy from Netgally. My opinions are my own.

4.5* This story stands alone, though there are frequent mentions of other characters and their stories for others of the authors' books.  I enjoyed the setting, which was descriptive and beautiful, the suspense, which was not too scary but kept me on the edge of my seat, and the romance, which was sweet and rewarding to see a happily-afer-all (friends to more).

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

That cover! How can you not be drawn to this book? Thankfully, the story inside is just a beautiful and captivating. Set against the Scottish Highlands, this romantic suspense drew me in from the start. Paisley is not who she thinks she is, and she has a lot to learn. James is a wonderful, steady constant who is exactly what Paige needs. I loved seeing their romance blossom in the midst of mystery, intrigue and unrest. The pace was perfect, the mystery gripping and not overtly obvious and the romance was tender and sweet. Highly recommended! I received a copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are my own, freely given.

Paige does not disappoint with her latest clean romantic suspense novel! I love that for most of the story we get to spend it in the Scottish Highlands! If you love a good romantic suspense novel you will not be disappointed with this series (I highly recommend reading them in order).

Danger on the Loch is a modern-day romance/suspense novel written by Paige Edwards. There are two additional books (Catherine’s Intrigue and Deadly by Design) that contain characters mentioned in this story. It is not necessary to have read those books in order to enjoy this one.

Summary: Paisley Clark has never had much family support. Her mother is cold and distant, and refuses to even mention Paige’s absent father.

It’s a good thing the Pressley-Coombes family practically adopted her growing up, and although she knew they would always be there for her (especially her best friend James), it wasn’t the same as having her own loving family.

When a DNA test reveals her true father, Paisley can’t wait to meet him. Will she find the father she has always dreamed of, or will she and James discover a lurking danger that threatens to kill them and the new family she’s just discovered?

My Thoughts: I liked this book. I think you have to ignore a few things that are slightly implausible in the storyline and just take it for what it’s worth, but otherwise, I found it quite enjoyable.

If you are looking for a nice romance with some suspense and a rags-to-riches fairy tale feel, this would be a fun and easy read.

I would like to thank Covenant Communications for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you!
