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!

Trusting Grace (Virtues and Vices of the Old West #3) - Maggie Brendan

This is the third book in the series.  The first two were The Trouble with Patience and A Sweet Misfortune.

Grace is lonely.  Her husband died a few years ago, leaving her with a farm to run and an ailing father.  Her friend in town encourages her to get out more and wants her to look for happiness.  Grace gets introduced to an attorney, but she's also got another man in her life: Robert.

Robert is desperate.  He lost his own farm, and when his wife died, he discovered she had three children she'd never told him about.  Disgraced, he left town for a fresh start. When he hears about a chance to work on Grace's farm, he sees it as an opportunity to get back on his feet.  Grace is kind to him, but he's not interested in getting duped by another woman.

This was a sweet story with lovable characters.  There's a bit of drama, but this is mostly a romance.  When I read the first book, I had a slight issue with the end dragging out a bit, and there was a lull toward the end in this one as well.  Also, the timing of the "rescue" seemed a bit unrealistic, but I still liked the book.

I wasn't able to read the second book in the series, but none of the main characters from the first two books appear in this one, so you can read them alone or out of order. Overall, it's a good story that I enjoyed.  Good Book!

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