Another new author!

I have found a new author that I really like!  Loree Lough has been around for awhile but I've just discovered her for myself.  I just finished reading Beautiful Bandit.  I really liked this one!  This is the first book of hopefully many, that I'll be able to find of hers.  I know there is at least one more in this series available because my librarian told me that she just brought Beautiful Bandit  back yesterday when I went to the library and she was taking #2 home with her that night.  Yeah for my awesome library!  My librarian, who I am not on first base names with yet since we just moved, liked the book too.  

In Beautiful Bandit Kate Wellington is held hostage during a bank robbery and made to look like  part of the posse that did the robbing!  She manages to escape but not before the ringleader does his damage on her.  She is rescued in the middle of Texas by Joshua Neville who is on his way home from San Antonio, Texas where he not only sold some of his family's land but also witnessed the bank robbers leaving the bank!  But he can't remember where he knows her from. So Kate makes up a fake name, Dinah, and goes home  with Josh falling in love with him the whole way.   

This  story is about Kate and how she must learn to trust people again and God.  She believes that he doesn't care about her anymore because of what she has gone through in her life. But we know that's not true. God cares about everyone big or small, robbers or innocents.  


I liked this story because the way the author writes it just pulls you into the story.  You feel like you're riding right beside Josh and Kate as they across the big state of Texas to get to the Neville ranch.  You experience everything that the characters do. I love stories that do that! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I'll let you know if #2 is as good as #1 was!  


Tonight I'm going to start to read Head in the Clouds.  It is by Karen Witemeyer.  She also wrote A Tailor-Made Bride and To Win Her Heart .  I've read A Tailor-Made Bride but haven't read To Win Her Heart yet. I'll have to add that to my list of books to look for at my library.  For such a small town library my library sure is stocked up on great christian fiction books! I love that!
