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!

A Stolen Heart (Cimarron Creek Trilogy #1) - Amanda Cabot

This is the first book in the Cimarron Creek Trilogy.

Lydia has traveled all the way to Texas to meet up with her fiancé, Edgar.  Unfortunately, once she steps off the stagecoach, things go from bad to worse.  Edgar is missing, but not only that, he’s already married and has a baby on the way!  Lydia feels betrayed, but she’s determined to get answers about Edgar.

Travis doesn’t mind helping the beautiful stranger from the north, he’s vowed never to marry anyway, and she needs help.  Being a lawyer AND the sheriff keeps him busy, but when a bunch of petty crimes begin to escalate, he doubts his abilities.  Critical comments from his crotchety father don’t help either.

I really liked this book.  It was an easy read, with neat characters.  I liked Catherine, who will show up in the next book, and Aunt Bertha.  There’s joy and heartache in this book, but it’s got the happy ending and I was glad to read it.

The second book should be out next year and will tell the story of Catherine, who we meet in this book, and Austin, a new character.  I look forward to it!  While Catherine shows up in this book, I have a feeling these are going to be able to be read alone or out of order.  According to the note after the epilogue, the third book in the series will have Thea, from Paper Roses, in it.  Good Book!

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