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!

Butterfly Palace - Colleen Coble

Colleen Coble has been an author I've enjoyed reading for many years now.  I've read most of her books in one form or another.  Some of my favorite series I've read are written by her.

We begin the story with Lily and Andy meeting in the night.  A sudden fire kills both their fathers and after that, Andy disappears.  Four years later, we find that Lily has now lost her mother as well and needs to find a job and make her own way.

Drew is shocked when he sees Lily at his friend's house.  He's regretted leaving her, but he felt he had little choice if he wanted her to be safe.  Now that he's seen her again, he wants to make things right between them, but he's also going to have to protect her from a ruthless killer that has a liking for blonds.

I enjoyed this story.  It was an easy read and I loved the characters.  A specific death in there made me sad, but overall the story was a good one.  I liked reading the development of the character of Belle a great deal.  The suspense was also well written and I wasn't aware of the extent of the plot until the end.

As of now, the only other thing I see connected to this story is a novella called Bluebonnet Bride.  I'm making sure to keep an eye out for it, because we're not quite resolved on the issues surrounding the White family and they are the focus of that story.  Good Book!
