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!

Heart Full of Love - Colleen Coble

This is another one of Coble's novellas that has recently been released in digital form.  It was $0.99.  This is my third one, Belinda and A Match Made in Heaven being the other 2.

We begin with conflict between Eden and Josh.  Eden is a foster mother and has adopted little Katie.  Josh is Katie's only remaining family, but up until now, he hadn't known of Katie's existence.  He is determined to do what it takes to get her with him.

Josh realizes that Eden isn't going to give up easily, so he tries to figure out a way to convince Eden that Katie belongs with him.  When he hears her story of how she was ripped away from her siblings as a child, he decides that if he can help her find them, that she will be more willing to give up guardianship of Katie to him.

While they spend time together, Josh comes to realize that Eden is a very caring person and starts to lose his heart to her.  He tries to fight it as long as he can, he needs to focus on getting Katie.  Eden is somewhat wary of his motivation at first, but Josh is good with the kids and maybe he does care for her after all.

This book is short, but it is a novella.  You're left with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end regarding Eden's siblings.  These novellas seem to have been part of other collections, so I doubt there is a sequel.  The characters from Belinda show up in this novella, but they are more convenient babysitters than anything else, and I almost missed the connection.  It's not necessary to read one before the other.

I did enjoy the book.  I just wished that it was longer.  The ending was a little rushed and it left me wanting more.  I'm keeping my eye out for more of this author's out-of-print books to come out digitally.  Good Book!
