Years ago, Penn's lover was attacked in the woods, and most think Penn is to blame—including Penn. Ever since, he's been a prisoner in his home and his mind. When world renowned architect Ewan Parish arrives to construct a secure, enclosed walkway through those woods, Penn is surprised, suspicious, and also fearful.
Ewan finds himself intrigued by the mysterious, reclusive Penn, his journals, and the beautiful artwork he's drawn, which Ewan recreates in the walkway's iron scrollwork. Determined to free Penn, Ewan sets out to unravel the mystery that has resulted in Penn's imprisonment by his family and conscience all these years...
Penn Woodland edition by David Connor Romance eBooks
I was pretty intrigued by the blurb of this one. Man hides away from the world because he thinks and is in fact told he’s such a monster and wrong because he’s attracted to men. That he has to be locked up in a cell at his home. He has little to no human contact and hasn’t spoken aloud in years. Until a beautiful world renowned architect that his sister hired to build something on their land shows up and ignores all warnings to stay away from the home Penn has become a prisoner in. This stirs up feelings Penn has tried to stop having since that awful night.Ewan the architect flees his life once again and travels a great distance to build something that intrigues him. He leaves behind his fiancee he has no intention of marrying on a whim. Then becomes captivated by the man inside the home. So much so that he puts himself right in the danger of whatever sinister thing is going on at the manor of these people.
So many parts of this story just didn’t work for me. The love story was fairly creepy for me personally. Penn is this beautiful man boy who is portrayed very young and broken. Ewan wants to help him, which I was happy for, but he also gets pervy pretty quickly. Penn is a mute prisoner who thinks his attraction to males is a bad thing and here comes this guy with a fiancee wanting to touch him. It just didn’t sit right with me. So of course I couldn’t get into the coupling of them. They had no problem because there was some very fast professions of love despite them barely knowing each other. To be fair Penn writes beautifully apparently but discards them through the floor in his home so his sister never gets them but Ewan finds them. So I guess he got to know or fell in love with Penn through those writings? Just didn’t resonate with me however.
The mystery revolving the disappearance of the ex lover and family members was pretty intriguing. Sadly it all ended very anti climactic and unbelievable. Sort of all over the place. There was an attempt to twist and turn things that just didn’t work IMO. The story telling felt jarring from one scene to the next. The characters weren’t very believable and I never warmed to any of them. Sadly this one was a total miss for me.

Penn Woodland edition by David Connor Romance eBooks Reviews
I received this book as an ARC though NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The concept of this book was really interesting, but I think it suffered from more than a bit of purple prose, and plot overreach. The complexity of the family story started to feel a bit like a VC Andrews novel, and it felt more than a bit too much. I'm still a little confused by the resolution. The characters were a bit thin, and Penn in particular felt a bit too much like a maiden waiting for her Prince to save her from my taste. The secondary cast was also more tropes than actual people, and I think I would have cared about the story more had I been able to feel more engaged with them. I think with some editing, and some tightening this could be a great story, it's just not there yet.
When I discovered this book, I was quite intrigued by the premise. However, as I delved deeper into the story, I realized that the plot and family history were confusing, the vernacular extremely formal for my tastes and the relationship between Penn and Ewan rushed.
The development of Penn and Ewan's relationship made me uncomfortable at times because Ewan seemed a little too aggressive with his feelings and actions. Don't get me wrong, I do not think this is a dubious consent situation, but it all just seemed to be a little too much too soon. Penn seemed so innocent, and Ewan very experienced. The emotional and physical coercion by Ewan was overwhelming in my opinion, making it difficult for me to fully immerse myself in the story.

You have no idea what you’re getting into when you start this book. At least I didn’t, not for this improbable fairytale of sorts, with major family secrets, unexpected twists, aspects that border on the order of a horror story, along with love and never ending hope, something that literally couldn’t be stopped.
In the beginning, the writing felt like it was trying too hard, but then it quickly fell into place and good pace. This, like many things about this story, the details, the characters, gave it a dreamlike quality. You know when something, a detail, feels just slightly off, yet definitely right enough that it just has to be real? That. All up in this joint. Most of all, once the writing settled, I was firmly inside Penn’s head, and his heart.
Speaking of, Penn is Pennsylvania Aloysius Dupree, while Ewan is Ewan Parish, famous architect brought to the family homestead by Penn’s sister to build… well, something. I know that’s vague, and it won’t be the last time that happens in this review, but I don’t want to give a single thing away.
~ * ~ ”You’ve been spoken with so little, but told too many things.” ~ * ~
This is the crux of it, of Penn’s existence, for a very long time. It’s also what made me angry for him, for his life that is a result of ignorance on the part of others, and ignorance on his own because he was fed a false line by those very others. Penn is caring, and understanding, so strong, he feels so much. He’s a good person made to hide from everything, treated like a monster who can’t be killed because, ya know, he’s NOT a monster.
As I mentioned, the beginning got off to a bit of a rough start but quickly found its way. It flows well, with a few instances of word choice creating a stumbling block to intentioned meaning. A reread of that sentence usually solved that.
This story is definitely a strange brew. Odd and beautiful and sad, with a bit of horror mixed in. So many secrets. Family secrets. The kind that never manage to remain unrevealed forever, most of the time not even surviving one generation before they explode in ugly, mind-blowing, sickening ways. The hope is that, once the flames burn out, something is left to salvage, to love. My head was spinning!
This is emotional, with fear, uncertainty, devotion, and so many other things radiating off the page, especially from Penn himself.
It’s safe to say I haven’t read a story exactly like this ever before in terms of presentation, setting, and certain details. At the same time, its easily recognizable in the ways and whys of the characters and how they feel.
This is the second story that I’ve read by David Connor and, despite being completely different, it gave me a great reading experience and left me thinking about it long after having finished, just like Herm I.T.
