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 Viscount and the Vicar's Daughter - Mimi Matthews

This is the first book I've read by this author.  I saw it recommended by an author, and since it was on sale, I decided to give it a shot.

Valentine has a job as a companion, but her employer is terrible.  When something Valentine treasures is destroyed, she ends up on the grounds and discovered by a notorious rake.  She doesn't know it at the time, but she soon finds out.  When they're later found in a compromising position, secrets are told and an engagement is entered into.  Can the rake reform and prove his love to Valentine?

The book wasn't bad, but there were a few typos.  It's on the shorter side, so it's a nice, quick read.  I appreciated the epilogue at the end to let me know what happened to the characters.  I wish the book had been a bit longer so there could be more interactions between Valentine and Tristan.  There's mild language and mild passion, but it didn't bother me too much.  All in all, enjoyable enough, but I'm torn on whether I would read more from the author.
