This is the first book in a new series, Sapphire Brides.
Emily has never had a real home. Her father takes them from one place to
another, hoping to find a motherlode of gold.
They scrape by, but Emily’s mother is dying, and Emily can’t help but
wonder if they’d just stayed put, maybe her mother could have gotten the care
she needed. As a result, Emily dreams of
a place she can call home and know she won’t be uprooted.
Caeden is a geologist in the area to evaluate the
ground. Emily’s father has offered for
him to stay on their land, and he immediately gets introduced to Emily in a
most embarrassing way! From then on, she
attracts his attention, but he’s determined to never marry. His relationship with his father was not
good, and he fears turning into the man.
A swindler is in the area, employing a ruthless individual
to convince people like Emily’s father to sell their land. Her father doesn’t want to sell, and they
soon realize how much danger they're in.
When things turn deadly, Emily finds herself turning to Caeden for
support.
This was a good book, with likeable characters all
around. Even the supporting characters
have a lot of depth, making it a well-rounded story. I was getting a little nervous toward the
end, thinking it might end up being a cliffhanger, but everything is resolved
and you get resolution and a happy ending.
Next up is A Beauty Refined, due out June 2016. There are fresh characters, so these books
will stand alone. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
