Book I read in July 2014

I used to love to read.  I spent hours upon hours reading.  I burned the midnight oil reading a lot.  For whatever reason, I am just at a point where I barely read anymore.  I remember having goals like Delanie has to read 100 books a year, lately I am lucky if I get one read a month.  Kind of like this month, and really the only reason I managed to get one book read is because I had three hours of down time on an airplane.  So here is what I read this month, I picked it up in the bargain book section at Desert Book


It was a good book, and I actually didn't have it all figured out before it was over, so kudos to the author for not writing a predictable Christian romance.


Safe In His Arms
   By Colleen Coble
Sometimes it takes a stranger to see you as you really are.


Born and raised on sprawling Texas land, Margaret O’Brien prides herself on her competence as a rancher. But her father believes she’s made for more than just dawn-to-dusk work. He wants her to have the love of a good man, to raise children, to build a life. But Margaret gave up such dreams years ago. She’s convinced no man would have her, that the ranch is her life now.
So when Margaret’s father hires Daniel Cutler as a new foreman, she’s frustrated and suspicious. Then an overheard conversation links him with a gang of bank robbers, and she’s downright worried. Daniel swears he’s not involved, but Margaret’s not convinced. She knows the man still has secrets. But would a criminal be so kind and talk so convincingly of his faith? As a series of tragic “accidents” threatens all she holds dear, Margaret must decide what to trust: her own ears, her best judgment . . . or what her heart keeps telling her.
