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 Thief of Lanwyn Manor (Cornwall Books #2) - Sarah E. Ladd

This is the second book in the series.  The first book is called The Governess of Penwythe Hall.  I haven't read it, but Julia is from Penwythe.  I didn't feel lost at all while reading this one, so it's one of those connecting series where the books can be read alone.

Julia has fled from the gossips.  She gave her heart to a man that didn't deserve it and hopes to escape her humiliation and pain by dedicating herself to her cousin's care.  She doesn't receive a warm welcome when she gets to town, but she's determined to stay.  She meets Isaac, a local miner, and wonders if he can be someone she can trust.

Isaac's similarities with his twin brother end with their handsome looks.  Matthew is setting his sights on Julia for the sake of a local mine, but he has no real interest in her as a person.  Isaac, on the other hand, finds her very interesting.  He doesn't want to interfere with his brother's plans, but he won't let Julia be used as a pawn.

A pretty good book all around.  I liked the characters, and the mystery element was well done.  This one was entertaining, and I have no issues giving it a Good Book! review.

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