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 Vision of Lucy (Rocky Creek Romance #3) - Margaret Brownley

This is my first read with this author.  This book is part of a series with A Lady Like Sarah being the first book and A Suitor for Jenny being the second.

Lucy's passion is taking photographs.  Her dream is to see her pictures printed in a newspaper.  In the beginning, we find Lucy up in a tree trying to find the legendary white mustang.  Instead, she witnesses a stagecoach robbery and her life is in danger.

David saves her and the stagecoach, but can't quite figure Lucy out.  She doesn't stop talking, so he uses his own methods to put her off balance.  While he is attracted to her, he tries to push those feelings aside.  Since he's half-white, half-Indian, prejudice has kept him from being an accepted member of society.  David is in town to find something that was taken from him years ago. When a man disappears and David is suspected, both their lives get more complicated than they thought.

I finished this book in a day.  Honestly, I had a feeling I was going to love it when I saw the first quote in the book, "Never climb higher to take a photograph than you can afford to fall."  It was an unusual opening and immediately caught my curiosity.  At the beginning of every chapter is a quote from Miss Gertrude Hasslebrink.  I found them to be interesting, but I'm not quite sure if they are from a real book or not.

I really enjoyed this book.  I haven't read the first two in the series, which are about Sarah and Jenny.  These characters made appearances in this book, but I didn't feel like I was missing vital information.  I'm watching the other two and look forward to reading more from this author.  Good Book!
