The Sapphire Brides Series first book, by Tracie Peterson, was
a great read that had me not wanting to put the book down! In A Treasure
Concealed Emily Carver has spent her life hiding herself from others as she
moves from mining town to mining town with her father and mother. She longs for
a home of her own, with a family that is not constantly relocating. Although
she has this dream, she feels it’s her responsibility to care for her ill
mother and her father, who is always searching for the wealth he feels the Lord
has in store for him. Emily’s life is soon changed as Caeden Thibault moves to
her community. Caeden is a government employee who is all too happy to leave
his life in New York and travel to Montana.
As you can imagine, some romance, mystery, and drama is within
the pages of A Treasure Concealed. I really enjoyed the characters in the book,
and the tight-knit community they created. Everyone seemed to look out for one
another, which I guess was a necessity during that time-period. I also liked
seeing the relationship develop between Caeden and Emily, as we learned more
about Caeden’s past. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!!
