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 am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. 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!

Ticket to Tomorrow (A Fair to Remember #1) - Carol Cox

 This is the first book in the series. The other two are called Fair Game and A Bride So Fair.

Annie is in Chicago to fulfill her deceased husband's wishes. He helped create a horseless carriage with another man, and now that he's gone, Annie is helping Silas promote the vehicle at the World's Fair. Also at the fair is Nick, Silas's nephew. 

A chance encounter brings Annie into a mystery that will threaten her life. She's also dealing with a serious case of "in-laws." Will's family blames her for the rift in their family and also his death. Neither is justified, but they won't budge.

This book was pretty good. I liked the characters pretty well, but I found myself caring more about some more than others. Mostly the minor characters for some reason. I can't explain why, but I really liked Silas and Stephen.

With the amount of mention Stephen got in this book, I suspected he'd be finding love later on in the series. He does, but it isn't until book 3. On the plus side, I have a feeling this is one of those series where you can read them alone or out of order and not miss much. I'm putting it on my list, I really liked his character. 4 stars.
