Gruwell I've got to give the author kudos for the historical details she incorporated and the research she did to set her novel. I felt like I really was in 1858 Savannah, from the dirty wharves, the bright gaslights, and the pageantry and glitter of rich parties. The author also incorporates a ton of historical events to set her novel firm historically within the conversations of her characters. There were a few times where this was a bit forced, like the author was trying too hard maybe, but overall it was very well done. I got the ambiance of the antebellum South loud and clear.The story overall was intriguing. The high drama of family secrets, dying loved ones, an upcoming wedding, and the faint rumbling of the Civil War on the horizon all made for a potent mix. I was kept intrigued enough that I wanted to find out what happened next. Yet, there were times I felt the author was a bit unbalanced with her storytelling. There were parts where it just seemed the characters were going from place to place, not doing anything. Some of the action stuff seemed to come out of left field as well. The whole fire thing seemed very out of place.The characters… Oy vey…. I liked them enough to be bound into their story, let’s start with that. I wanted to know if they lived or died. But there seemed some real problems with flat characterizations. I felt Celia was too perfect, always beautiful, always forgiving, always compassionate… You get the picture. Sutton was every teenage girl’s dream boy, dedicated to honor, love, and her. And Ivy was too manipulative and stupid for me. I can maybe see why she might be that way with her background, but overall her character also came off as slightly Sniddley Whiplash to me. Maybe some warts on Celia or happiness for Ivy would have balanced this part out.The historical details and story saved this book for me. It was a dramatic telling with a few slides into melodrama and slow pacing. But overall, I was kept fascinated. The characters will make you roll your eyes and sigh in frustration. In the end, though, I grew to care for their fates and relationships. I’d recommend this book to those who enjoy antebellum South fiction; it definitely has that right. Just be prepared for a few disappointments along the way.Note: Book received for free from publisher through Net Galley in exchange for honest review.

A Murder Mystery in pre-Civil War Savannah By Little Miss Bookworm Dorothy Love has once again constructed a charmingly detailed story of life in the south. Her extensive research of a specific time period and location, make each novel a must read. The Bracelet is a captivating historical romance with mystery and suspense infused into it. Love provides a picturesque setting of pre-Civil War Savannah that draws a reader in. She also captures the turmoil many southerners faced as tensions increased between northern and southern states during this period.As I read the prologue of The Bracelet, I was immediately hooked by the dark scene and how it set the tone for the rest of the novel. Does the unknown woman commit suicide or is she murdered? That’s the main question that drives the plot from the first page until the last.The story is fast-forwarded fifteen years to highlight how the Browning family is still plagued by the death. Celia Browning is a southern belle determined to marry her childhood sweetheart Sutton Mackay. However, an inquisitive reporter determined to make a name for himself, threatens to destroy the Browning’s high-standing reputation by insinuating that the family is covering up more than one crime. After Celia receives a mysterious bracelet and a couple of threatening letters, she’s determined to uncover whose behind it. At the same time, Celia is driven to uncover the true events of what happened fifteen years ago in the carriage house.Sutton Mackay is a southern gentleman in the shipping business. Despite the scandal surrounding the Browning family, he won’t let anyone or a pending war fracture his relationship with Celia. With danger surrounding her, Sutton is willing to protect Celia even if it means sacrificing his life for her’s.A murder mystery in pre-Civil War Savannah is a unique plot that I really loved. I was captivated by the two deaths that happened weeks apart in 1843. As the complex murder mystery unraveled, I felt shocked by some of the details. Every time I thought I knew what would happen next or who was guilty, a plot twist would pop up. I loved all the plot twists, especially at the end.I LOVED The Bracelet by Dorothy Love. I thought the story was well paced, filled with rich imagery and characters fleshed out with individuality. Each of the secondary characters shine on their own. I loved the suspense. In the author’s note, Dorothy Love reveals that each character was based on a real historical person, which gives the book an authentic touch. Overall, it is one of those books that I did not want to end.I give The Bracelet by Dorothy Love 5 Stars.*My opinions are my own and are not influenced by any outside source.

The Bracelet offers Murder Mystery, Romance and Drama By Beth Durham Book Review:The Bracelet, Dorothy Love, Thomas Nelson 2014The Bracelet is an historical fiction novel set in Savannah, Georgia in 1858. Dorothy Love beautifully combines family drama and romance with mystery in a book that compels the reader to reach the end and learn the secrets of the Browning family.Many years ago, the Brownings suffered two tragedies in their home, followed by weeks of gossip. Now an opportunistic newspaper reporter dredges up the scandal in hopes of selling newspapers and books. Hurt by the judgment of her society friends, and hoping to protect her father and cousin, Celia Browning begins her own search for answers.Our lives are rarely occupied by a single issue and The Bracelet certainly reflects that. The tensions that were building in southern Georgia just three years before the outbreak of The Civil War must have overshadowed every relationship and every decision in 1858. In that cauldron of stress, Celia welcomes home the man she’s loved for years and hopes to marry. She continues charity work and social engagements while alternately ignoring the coming storm and resolving to live normally despite it.According to the author’s note at the end of the book, each character was based on a real historical person and I believe that authenticity resounds in each one. However, there are no slave characters in the book and Love explains that not all Southerners owned slaves or made their living on cotton plantations. The big Browning town home is kept by a single, Irish housekeeper while a freeman serves as their driver. Since the Brownings are listed as one of the wealthiest families in Savannah, it seems unlikely that their home would be so scarcely furnished with servants and that they would not have owned even one slave. I couldn’t help but feel the treatment of the slave issue was more twenty-first century political correctness than it was historical accuracy. While Mr. Browning may have held a personal conviction against the institution of slavery, he seems to have made a fortune shipping cotton from slave-holding plantations and that discrepancy is never addressed.The novel wraps up very nicely. It is a happy ending, especially since is ends still two years before the war. Just as we rarely experience in the real world, not every question from the Browning family mystery is answered, still every storyline is very nicely resolved. I would have enjoyed more details about the future of Cousin Ivy, but perhaps that would be addressed in a future novel.I would certainly recommend The Bracelet to you and am happy to give it a four-star review.Thomas Nelson, publisher of The Bracelet, supplied a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.
