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!

The Artful Match (London Beginnings #3) - Jennifer Delamere

This is the third book in the series.  It tells the stories of three sisters, and this one tells Cara's story.  The first book, The Captain's Daughter, is about Rosalyn, and the second, The Heart's Appeal, is Julia's story.

Cara is considered to be the most emotional of the sisters.  Not only is she the baby of the family, her sisters don't think she can take care of herself.  Due to an unfortunate mistake, she loses her job as governess and is out on the streets.  She tries to go to Julia, but her sister is away from home.  Not only that, but Cara is shocked to discover that Julia has gotten married and went to South America!  Cara feels betrayed and angry, and after a discovery at a pawn shop, she doesn't want to reach out to her other sister, Rosalyn, either.  She meets Langham, an artist, and realizes she wants to be an artist as well.  Langham is a bit of a mess, but she's confident his heart is in the right place.

Henry already knows that his brother is a bit of a mess, and he's come to London to track him down.  When Henry finds his brother drunk at a pub, he also meets Cara.  She immediately catches his eye, and he's curious as to what she's doing with people like his brother.  Henry doesn't understand the art world, but he's going to get acquainted with it.  The more time he spends with Cara, the more he likes her.  And when he sees how well she deals with his young ward, he likes her even more.  They both have secrets they keep close, but only the full truth will allow them to be together.

I enjoyed this one.  I liked almost all the characters.  I won't list them here, but they were well-written and easy to care about.  You'd be okay reading these out of order, but if you like this kind of book, you'll get more out of them reading them in order.  Good Book!
