More Than Meets the Eye

I love spunky heroines who are vulnerable yet love fiercely! Such is the case of Evangeline Hamilton who is the heroine in "More Than Meets The Eye". I find it fascinating that she possesses mismatched eyes - one bright blue and one dark brown. I'd never heard of such a thing! Evie loves her 2 brothers fiercely. They were orphaned young so they have a very tight bond. I was blown away by how they managed to make it and thrive. Evie is such a ray of sunshine even though she has never been treated very nicely, except by her brothers (because of those eyes!). It made me stop and think about how it's just the same in today's world - bullies and others who don't treat others nicely. Evie rises above that! She's not quite sure what to do when she meets Logan Fowler in the woods behind her house! He's a mysterious stranger! Evie has been sheltered most of her life by her brothers so men haven't really been part of her life but she feels something for Logan and she also feels he is in need of her cheerfulness which he doesn't necessarily appreciate at the beginning! I really enjoyed their interactions! Logan is looking for the man who is responsible for his father's death and he wants justice! He doesn't want to deal with a "Mary Sunshine"!!! But Evie grows on him! I loved the secondary story going on in the book too about a new character, a crime being committed and how everyone gets involved to solve it! This book is just SO good! I had a very hard time putting it down and when I finished it, I wanted there to be more chapters! I wasn't ready to let go of the characters! Ms. Witemeyer's books continue to get better and better! I've read every one of them and her characters come alive to me! I definitely recommend this book as one that will capture the interest of the reader and keep it all through the book! *I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
