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!

When Love Calls (The Gregory Sisters #1) - Lorna Seilstad

I really enjoyed this author's first series, Lake Manawa Summers, and was happy to see that she had started another one.  The Lake Manawa series consists of Making Waves, A Great Catch and Ride of Her Life.  This new series is about three sisters who rely on each other to make their dreams come true.

Hannah has given up her dream of becoming an attorney so that she can take care of her sisters after her parents' death.  Unable to keep their family home, Hannah is forced to enroll as a switchboard operator at the telephone company.

Lincoln feels guilty he was sent to tell the Gregory sisters that they have to move out of their home and tries to make it up to them.  At first, Hannah is resistant but slowly warms to him.  When Hannah's friend is arrested for arson, Lincoln takes the case to help out.

Hannah is wary of a relationship with Lincoln since he has aspirations of politics.  She feels that she won't fit into that world and holds him at arm's length.  Working on her friend's case with Lincoln makes her wonder if she'll be able to be herself and also have a relationship.

This was a good start to the series and I look forward to reading more.  The next book, While Love Stirs, is due out May 2014 and is the story of the middle sister, Charlotte, the sister who enjoys cooking.  I'll be on the lookout for that book and the one about Tessa. Good Book!
