Beyond All Dreams
Elizabeth Camden
Bethany House Publishers
Anna O’Brien leads a quiet life as a map librarian at the prestigious Library of Congress. Having lost her father at sea when very young, these maps are a tie to the family that she lost. Luke Callahan is an ambitious politician who is determined to have his voice heard in Washington D.C. His fearlessness has caused him to gain a reputation, and he soon finds himself in need of a librarian to help him with his political climb. When Anna and Luke team up, neither is prepared for what happens next. As tensions mount, relationships are tested, and a big mystery becomes unveiled as Anne tries to uncover what really happened to her father. In the midst of governmental secrets, can the truth be unveiled?
Elizabeth Camden has wormed her way onto my book-shelf with her past few novels. However, this book wormed its way into a special spot in my heart. As someone who has a Master of Library and Information Science degree, I cannot even begin to say how excited I was that this book was centered around a librarian (not to mention one that was confident and spunky!) and around one of the most famous libraries!
Camden does an excellent job of diversifying her characters. As mentioned before, I have read several other of her novels. Her characters are unique and flawed. Both Anna and Luke are flawed. Both characters develop throughout this story, which makes it all the more compelling to see where their friendship leads. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a little romance, history, and mystery all in one book. Or anyone who loves to read a book featuring librarians!
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for this honest review.
