A Sparkle Of Silver by Liz Johnson

Uncovering the past can lead to an unexpected future...






Hi Readers!
It has been a quick and busy October and I cannot stand when I wait until the very last minute to finish something. Is there anyone else out there that does the same thing? Well, better late (or rather last minute) then never :)  I have three AMAZING new books to add to your October " Must Read" list and the first one is... A Sparkle of Silver by Liz Johnson!  A Sparkle of Silver is a contemporary romance set in beautiful historic St. Simon's Island GA. I would recommend this book if you:

• Like or have read any books by Liz Johnson
• Like to read books by similar authors Irene Hannon and Becky Wade
• Like to watch Hallmark movies (the book is a lot better then a Hallmark Movie, but if you like them, then you will love the book)
• Just want to read a new book or check out a new author!

Well, here is the story. 

Millie Sullivan feels like she owes her grandmother the world, especially after her parents left her, and her grandparents stepped in and basically adopted her; however, ever since her grandmother got sick and had to go to a nursing home, funds have been incredibly tight. Millie feels like she will never make enough money to support herself and get her grandmother into a nursing home where she will be more comfortable. Then as if she did not have enough stress on her plate, the nursing home informs Millie that she has only ninety days to find a new home for her grandmother before they kick her out. Millie is devastated and is desperate to find a solution. Then her grandmother mentions that her mother was a guest at the historic Chateau Dawkins in the 1920's and that she hid a journal that contained a secret, a secret that could change their lives and possibly get Millie the money to move her grandmother. Getting a job as a re-enactment actress, she starts looking around for the journal; however it may prove difficult with security always watching her every move... 

Security guard Ben Thornton is surprised to find one of the actresses snooping around the library at the Chateau and immediately moves to turn her in - until she mentions that she knows of a hidden treasure and the clues are in her great grandmother's journal. The mention of a treasure that Millie is willing to share, prompts Ben to cover for her, especially since Ben is desperate for funds so he can repay those that his mother stole from. Agreeing to be "partners", Millie and Ben discreetly search the journal for clues; however the clock is ticking and the more information they find in the journal, the more it seems hopeless that they will ever find the treasure. Will they be able to find the answers that they both desperately seek in time?

What did I think? 
First I just want to say that I typically do not read "contemporary romance" but I love the way Liz Johnson writes. I have read all of her previous books and was excited when this one came out. Anyway, A Sparkle of Silver is book one in the Georgia Coast Romance series and it is fabulous. I love how the characters are so realistic and each have there own issues, yet are selfless enough to want to put their lives on hold to help others. I also liked how the romance was threaded throughout the story instead of "Boom! they both fall in love". There was also some great biblical truths woven within the story that give the plot another layer to uncover. Overall, I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one in the series. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars *****
