Well, tomorrow I head home after a wonderful 2-week long adventure! I got to help drive cattle, put out hot spots at a wildfire burnsite (a.k.a. babysitting the fire to make sure it didn't blow up), and of course I read a ton, I even decided to join a Read the Bible in a Summer program, which as you can imagine with me starting late, will be quite...I will have to play catch up, but I am sure it will be beneficial non-the-less!
But onward!
Ok, so if you are like me you have probably heard buckets about Carol Cox's Love in Disguise, and since I didn't get it review I decided to check it out from my local library and read it anyway! And it started out running, and I just know that I am going to love it already!
Here's the blurb:
When costume-maker Ellie Moore suddenly finds herself out of a job in the middle of a bleak Chicago winter, she uses her knowledge of theatrical disguise to secure a position as an undercover operative with the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Her assignment: find the culprit behind the theft of silver shipped from the mines near Pickford, Arizona. Disguised as Lavinia Stewart, a middle-aged widow, Ellie begins her investigation. Soon she finds she must also pose as the dazzling young Jessie Monroe, whose vivacious personality encourages people to talk.
Mine owner Steven Pierce is about to lose his business after the theft of several bullion shipments--until hope arrives in the unlikely form of Lavinia Stewart, who offers to invest in Steven's mine. In his wildest dreams, Steven never expected to be rescued by an inquisitive gray-haired widow . . . or to fall head over heels for Lavinia's captivating niece, Jessie. But then the thieves come after both Lavinia and Jessie. Ellie isn't safe no matter which character she plays! Will she be forced to reveal her true identity before the criminals are caught? What will Steven do when he discovers the woman he loves doesn't exist?
Well, that's what I'm reading :)
Now it's your turn, what are you reading this weekend?
God Bless!
No way! I'm reading that one right now too! I didn't get it to review either, but I bit the bullet and purchased it. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVED Love in Disguise, and it sounds like you will, too! :) Great book!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, while you're heading home, I'll be headed out on a vacation with my family. :) I'm glad you had a wonderful adventure, and I hope you have a safe trip home!

I'm looking forward to reading this book soon too. I just started 'Short-straw bride' and really enjoying it! Karen is one of my favourite Christian fiction authors. :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to this one, I love the cover! I hope it is as good as we think it is!
ReplyDeleteAnd right now I am reading A Sound Among the Trees by Meissner, but it is coinciding with another read along for The Queen's Vow by Gortner (awesome!) so I haven't been able to get to focus on it. I hope to catch up soon! Have a great weekend!
Rosie- How awesome! From where I am at I am loving it. I hope it turns out to be a pleasurable book for you too!
ReplyDeleteAmber- That is great! And how funny that our vacations should end up like that! Have a great time :)
Cathy- Sounds like you have got yourself a great weekend read! Karen is fantastic!
Marie- Oh, fun. hope you like it as much as I am right now. And yes, the cover is amazing! I have heard great things about Susan Meissner and that book sounds great! Reading two books at once is always fun because you can pick which ever one fits the mood!
I plan on starting Love in Disguise this weekend. Along with finishing up Skip Rock shallows by Jan Watson and a love inspired book I was reading.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous weekend, Carissa!
