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!

Love Everlasting (Brides of Seattle #3) - Tracie Peterson

This is the third book in the Brides of Seattle series.  The first two are called Steadfast Heart and Refining Fire.

In this book, we finally get closure with Abrianna and Wade.  They declared their feelings for each other in the previous book, so I was happy she finally came around.  Unfortunately, that feeling quickly left as Abrianna now questions what she feels and isn't sure marrying Wade is the best idea.

Problems arise when Priam Welby, the town's villain, approaches Abrianna and tells her that he wants Abrianna to be his wife.  She's not keen on the idea, but when he threatens the lives of those she loves, she doesn't feel she has any choice.  She doesn't have anyone to confide in but is determined to handle things on her own.

Personally, Abrianna's personality has been bothering me off and on through this series, and while I was hoping things would get better in this book, her actions and thoughts on her engagement to Wade continued to irritate me.  She did get somewhat better toward the end of the book, but then she irritated me again at the very end.

Overall, the book is well written.  I thought the end a little lengthy, but I suppose it was to wrap things up since it's the last of the series.  Even so, Abrianna is still figuring her way is the best way and everyone else needs to fall in line.  Since Wade is up to putting up with her, they're well matched.  You can read this one without reading the others.  The nefarious deeds of Welby are referenced enough that you won't be lost.  Decent Book!
