I enjoyed
Dorothy Love's Hickory Ridge Romance series and was happy to see she had
another book coming out. I jumped at the
opportunity to read it.
Celia is the
main character in this book. Her life is
going just as she's planned. She has a
wonderful fiance, and her father has no qualms including her in his business.
A reporter
starts to make waves in her little world by dredging up a mystery regarding her
family. She doesn't want anything to
affect her plans, but she can't help being curious about the
circumstances. What actually happened
all those years ago?
Strange
messages and an ominous bracelet come into her possession and now she is more determined
than ever to find the truth. She follows
leads on her own and doesn't feel comfortable confiding in anyone.
While I
enjoyed this book, I did have the story figured out by the reveal. Once the villain is unmasked, I wondered why
there was so much left in the book.
There really wasn't much romance with Sutton in the book; it was more
Celia solving the mystery than anything else.
They are in love all through the book.
I
appreciated the author's note at the end telling of her inspiration for the
story. She also reveals that there will
be another book in 2015 where we will see Celia again. In the meantime, there's a Hickory Ridge
novella, A Proper Marriage, that came out in October.
I look forward to more! Good
Book!

a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
