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!

The Advent Bride (The 12 Brides of Christmas #1) - Mary Connealy

This novella is part of a series called The 12 Brides of Christmas.  One story a week by various authors will be released until December 22.

Melanie has her hands full with little Simon.  When she approaches his father about the boy's behavior, he challenges her to find a way to "manage" him.  Melanie isn't sure what to do until she finds a mysterious puzzle box hidden in the attic where she lives.  Now, she's not only bonding with the boy but his father as well.

Since this is a novella, I don't want to reveal too much, but this is a cute book and an easy read.  It was a nice balance of character development and story packed into a neat little package.  I love Christmas and this is a nice way to get in the spirit.  Good Story!
