I was so happy to find that Out of the Embers is the first in a series, as the book was a real page turner for me. I’ve never read any of Amanda Cabot’s books and this will surely not be the only one of hers I will read. I’m totally a fan, now.
There was a lot of mystery, story plots and very good characters in this book. I loved that it kept the Revell tradition of a book with Christian values and even the most questionable character was able to find redemption.
The setting in Texas Hill Country in the 1850’s was beautiful. Evelyn was definitely a hero as she fervently protected young Polly.
The family she found and the man she fell in love with was wonderful to behold. There was a lot of suspense and intrigue. The love she showed for little Polly who was not timid in announcing her need for a daddy when she met Wyatt was charming. With all the potential suitors for the lovely Evelyn, it had me holding my breath.
In some ways with the acquiring of the restaurant in town and the good food served, it reminded me of a LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE segment. Romance amongst suspense adds up to a book that you’ll definitely want to read. I’m hoping I get to review the next one, too.
Out of the Embers was a book that I received free of charge from Revell Reads in exchange for my honest review.
I'm so glad you discovered my books and that you found Out of the Embers to be a page turner!
