"Firefly Island," by Lisa Wingate

"Firefly Island," by Lisa Wingate
SOMETIMES LOVE TAKES YOU ON AN ADVENTURE COMPLETELY OFF THE MAP

Mallory Hale's life quickly veers off course when she falls hopelessly in love. After a whirlwind romance, Mallory finds herself leaving the bustle and action of Capitol Hill for the remote town of Moses Lake, Texas--with husband, stepson, and a U-Haul in tow.

A sweet, mishap-filled journey into marriage, motherhood, and ranch living ensues, and Mallory is filled with both the wonderment of love and the insecurities of change. But what she can't shake is the unease she feels around her husband's new boss, Jack West. Jack's presence--and his mysterious past--set her on edge, and when hints of a scandal emerge, Mallory finds herself seeking answers . . . and comes to realize that the middle-of-nowhere home she wasn't sure she wanted is the very place she'll risk everything to save.

Another book in the Moses Lake series and another winner.  Although a little slow to get going, the pace of the story picks up with each and every chapter, until you HAVE to know what is going to happen next.  Love the twists and turns in this book and all the main characters are memorable  and well thought out.

You will meet some of the other characters from the two other books in the series, but it's not totally necessary to have read the other books.

Stars out of 5 ; 4.5 Other than it was a bit slow to start with a great book overall.
