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!

Carousel Horse Christmas (The Ornamental Match Makers #1) - Danni Roan

I 100% picked up this book because it said carousel horse. I'm a carousel horse nut, and there aren't a ton of decent books out there that revolve around carousel horses. Any time I see one, I try to give it a shot. 

Audrey is on the way home from shopping with her friend when they almost hit a man on a horse. His trailer was hit, and he had to round up his horses. The horse he's riding looks just like the mysterious carousel horse ornament Audrey received.

The next day, Holden Bays shows up on her doorstep, and the Hallmark movie begins.

The book is really short, so I'm not going to go in depth about the plot. I am curious how Holden "tracked her down." She wasn't the driver of the car, so I can't say he used her license plate. How exactly did he find her? There are a fair number of typos in there, and a lot of them are homophones. They're the kind of typos a spell check isn't going to pick up on. "For o'clock"

SPOILER: The end ruined this for me. It's the same issue I have with a lot of Hallmark movies. The relationships move too fast, and in this book they move WAY too fast. How many hours did they spend together?

Other than that, the carousel horse didn't have anything to do with anything. It popped up in the beginning and, then it was irrelevant. I suppose if you're looking for a short romance, this might be a good diet book. I just really don't like when people rush into relationships. Take some time. Get to know a person!
