This week I started reading The Main of Ballymacool. So far it’s a great read – although I am not surprised. I have loved ever Jennifer Deibel book I’ve ever read!

AmazonBrianna Kelly was abandoned at Ballymacool House and Boarding School as an infant. She has worked there since she was a wee girl and will likely die there. Despite a sense that she was made for something more, Brianna feels powerless to change her situation, so she consoles herself by exploring the Ballymacool grounds, looking for hidden treasures to add to the secret trove beneath the floorboards of her room.
When Michael Wray, the son of local gentry, is sent to Ballymacool to deal with his unruly cousin, he finds himself drawn to Brianna, immediately and inescapably. There is something about her that feels so . . . familiar. When Brianna finds a piece of silver in the woods, she commits to learning its origins, with the help of Michael. What they discover may change everything.
Fan favorite Jennifer Deibel invites you back to the Emerald Isle in the 1930s for this fresh take on the Cinderella story, complete with a tantalizing mystery, a budding romance, and a chance at redemption.

This is the third time I have tried to leave a comment, not sure if it is taking it or not. I have this one on my TBR but I don’t like that first line. I hope you have a great weekend!
I’m eager to read this one. Glad to hear you’re enjoying so far. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
the blurb and cover both appeal and while the first line has a shock-effect, I do want to look for this one..
Here is my Friday post
I just finished this one. It was good! I’m currently reading Depending on the Cowboy by Jill Kemerer. The first line is: “Women made him nervous.” Have a great week!
I’m so late! It’s been a crazy, busy weekend. Anyway, I’m currently reading To Win Her Hand by Jen Geigle Johnson. It’s cute!

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
