About Firefly Island
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.
My thoughts on Firefly Island
I know that many people would not quite understand how the whirlwind romance that Mallory experiences would cause her to drop everything and move away from all she knows. However, my husband and I met in February of 1999 and we were engaged within a few days of him moving to NY (from Bellingham, WA) in June of the same year. Our wedding was in November of 1999 and we were pregnant a month later, so I could relate to how Mallory was feeling. I enjoyed watching her adjust to her new roles as wife and mother, and also to living the small-town rural life. I also loved that she became a blogger :)Firefly Island
is a bit of romance, a bit of mystery and has a lot of intrigue. I did not find the mystery parts to be predictable, but when the book ended, I had a LOT of unanswered questions. I am hoping there will be a sequel, but still felt that the ending was a bit sloppy with too many loose ends.I recommend this book to those who enjoy feel good books, with a bit of romance and mystery.
