Edge of Glass

Edge of Glass is a romantic suspense novel written in the 1960's and also set in the 60's. Maura discovers after the death of her mother that she descends from the Sheridan dynasty, the owners of the legendary Sheridan glassworks. Her mother, Blanche, had been disowned for getting involved with someone other than the one her mother had selected and getting pregnant.Blanche had concealed all of this all of Maura's life, and naturally, she is shocked to find there is not only the historic glassworks still in production, but an ancestral home as well. She feels attracted to 2 different men that are connected to her new-found family, and those men have bad blood between them.
I am giving the book a mediocre review as I did not care for one show more scene where Connor (one of the men) gets angry and slams Maura's head against a doorframe. Why would she even consider getting involved with the man after that? He obviously has anger issues, and no problem with abusing a woman. I also would have preferred a different ending, where she gets her cake and eats it too-- fighting for her ancestral home that she is heir too and half ownership in the glassworks instead of just walking away from it all. show less

Story moved along nicely. Interesting how the 2 men both wanted the same two women. Liked how the story started with Brendan breaking the glass, the info about making glass, the way of life of old Ireland, the determination of the Lady Maude to the end, and the way the ending was a satisfying solution for all.
