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!

Because You're Mine - Colleen Coble

Alanna’s life is in turmoil.  Her husband is dead after an explosion, her in-laws are threatening to take custody of her unborn child, and her band’s future is uncertain.  The answer to everything seems to be accepting the marriage proposal of the band’s manager, Barry.  He can help secure her baby and take care of her.

Once the vows are said, Alanna is taken to a creepy plantation that reads like something out of a gothic novel.  The house is run down, the grounds are dangerous, and she has to deal with snakes and gators.  On top of that, the person that survived the explosion, Jesse, has tried out to take her husband’s place in the band.  Alanna sees similarities between her late husband and Jesse and is torn between hating him and being drawn to him.

Jesse lost his memory in the explosion and is searching for memories and clues to who he was before the blast.  The more he finds out, the less he likes what he’s finding.  He’s also having strange thoughts, as if Alanna’s husband’s soul has somehow possessed him.  He struggles with it but can’t seem to figure out what it means.

This was a great story with lots of twists and turns.  I couldn’t wait to read more and finished it in two days.  The action goes all the way up to the end, which was great.  This is one of my favorites from this author.  One of her best!  Great book!

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