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!

Submerged (Alaskan Courage #1) - Dani Pettrey

This is a new author for me.  I saw this book come up for sale a few weeks ago and I was intrigued.  Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres and I was a little surprised I'd never heard of this author before.

Bailey has vowed to never return to Yancey, Alaska.  In her high school years, she made some horrible decisions and pushed away the only person who really cared about her and loved her for who she was.  When her aunt dies suddenly, she doesn't have a choice anymore.  She wants to avoid her past, but it's a small town and there's no escaping who you are.

Cole laid his heart out there for Bailey before and she stomped on it in return.  Seeing her now and how she's changed, he's in danger of losing his heart to her all over again. When someone starts killing in his town, links to Bailey's aunt and a couple of strangers, Cole becomes protective of Bailey.  When there is a connection to Russian history, Bailey gets sucked into the investigation and pushed into Cole's company.

I read this book quick.  The writing reminded me a great deal of Dee Henderson in the O'Malley series.  There's a great balance of the suspense and romance.  The characters are well developed without hitting you over the head with information.

So far, in this series, there are four books.  The next book in the series is Shattered and it's about Landon and Piper.  The foundation for their relationship is established in this book, so I'm not 100% positive about reading these out of order.  Book 3 is Stranded and book 4 is coming out May 1, 2014 and is called Silenced.  This series revolves around Cole and his siblings.  All the remaining books are on my watch list.  I'm happy to say I've found a new author!  Good Book!
