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 am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. 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!

Claiming Mariah - Pam Hillman

I had the opportunity to read another book by this author, Stealing Jake, quite a while ago and enjoyed it, so I was pleased to see this one pop up for $1.99.

Mariah's father revealed a dark secret to her before he died and now Mariah wants to try and make right the wrong he has done.  He cheated his business partner out of his half of the gold from their claim and now Mariah has written to make amends.

Slade wants nothing more than revenge on the man who ruined his childhood.  Once Mariah's father took their money and shot his father, nothing went right.  His father became a violent alcoholic and a young Slade was sent to find him on numerous occasions.  Now Slade has shown up on Mariah's door demanding what he believes belongs to him and that is the whole ranch.

Mariah lives alone with her grandmother and has spent most of her money keeping her sister Amanda at school in Philadelphia.  Slade is handsome and a good man inside, but he's taken her home and now she is working there until Slade's mother and sisters arrive. Mariah had thought to offer him a fair share, but now that Slade has demanded the whole ranch, where will she go?  And what will happen to her heart when she leaves?

I really liked this book.  I loved the characters and the story.  I haven't been able to find any more books by this author, but I hope that she keeps writing.  I would like to read a continuation of Slade's younger brother and Amanda as well.  Good writing style kept me wrapped in the story and made the book hard to put down.  Recommended - Good Book!
