A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

A Kiss of Adventure (Treasures of the Heart #1) - Catherine Palmer

This was a refreshing little book.  Most of the books I read seem to be in the United States - old West or general historical, which is my general comfort zone and an almost guaranteed favorite.  This one is set in Kenya and has treasure hunts, romance and adventure.  I ended up really liking the characters and the way it ended.

Tillie is a tree-planting woman.  Usually that would not be a dangerous occupation, but when a young boy gives her a locket, she becomes the target of a man who needs her help to seek a treasure.  Rescued by a man who is NOT her fiance, they are brought together by their common goal of finding the treasure.

I would recommend this book for someone looking for a straight romantic adventure.  It was a light book and just what I needed when I read it!
