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!

Like Never Before (Walker Family #2) - Melissa Tagg

This is the second book in the Walker Family series.  There was a prequel novella, Three Little Words, and then the first book, From the Start.

Logan’s life has been changing.  His wife is dead, his daughter doesn’t speak, and he’s just inherited a newspaper in his hometown in Iowa.  He plans on putting his high-pace life in LA on hold for a few weeks to wrap up the sale of the paper, but things get complicated once he’s home.  He’s dealing with his bristly in-laws and a woman who’s determined to save the paper.

Amelia has gotten comfortable in Maple Valley.  She’s admired Logan’s writing from afar, but now that he’s in town, she’s falling for the man himself.  But he’s planning on heading back to LA, and she plans on guarding her heart.

With things getting more complicated, Logan has to decide where he wants to be: Maple Valley, LA or possibly Washington, D.C.  Amelia is also touching his heart, making his decision even harder.

This book was pretty good.  I enjoyed Amelia’s character the most.  She had an interest in history and embraced it heartily.  I also liked Logan’s character, watching a person who relies on having a plan put that aside to take a leap of faith.

I’m wondering how many of these books there will be.  We’ve read the story of Seth (the cousin) in Three Little Words, and Kate in From the Start.  There are still two siblings, Raegan and Beckett, and I’m wondering what’s coming next!  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
