Her sweetness is an allure he can’t fight. Can Beau convince Ruby she is beloved?

My Review!
"A Ruby Glows" by Kari Trumbo is the 15th book in the  (Cutter's Creek) saga, There are 19 books in the saga.  Ok, here is a shock for my blog followers, I have not read the first 14 books only the first three, but I am going to say if "A Ruby Glows" by Kari Trumbo is the only book you read in this saga I believe you will enjoy the series and get the full effect of the book. There are mentions of characters  from the other books written by Kari Trumbo for this saga but it didn't leave me feeling like I had missed anything by not knowing these character's story  before reading "A Ruby Glows".   See, the shock!

This paragraph is from part of Kari's Trumbo's guest post on my blog ( I know if you follow my blog, you will get the whole post, but for my review on Amazon and Goodreads, I am including this.)
"Cutter’s Creek is a series written by myself and three other Christian authors. Though there are numbers on each book, you don’t have to read them in order to get into the series, in fact, since each author writes in their own time period it might be somewhat confusing. Especially if you like a consecutive story. However, they are all stand-alone books and can be read in any order. If you like to read them in date order, you’ll want to read Kit Morgan’s books first, then Vivi Holt, Annie Boone, and finally mine, that will put them roughly in time order."

I have read the first three of Kit Morgan's and I will finish the series because that is how I am.

This book is a western love story but first Ruby must believe that she can trust Beau with her past secrets.  I really like the name Beau for the hero in this story because he wants to be Ruby's beau( a play on words, I think it fits well.)   This book mentions alcohol addiction and spousal abuse, not really in a lot of details but it is there!

There is another story developing within this story about a missing wife,  and seven sisters that is left with a cliff hanger but I think we get the rest of those stories in book 19.

I think Beau is my favorite character in this story because he searches for the truth and the character I hate is Ruby's father ( hey, it is fiction so I can hate someone right).

This book leaves you feeling that love can come after a bad childhood!

I am giving "A Ruby Grows" by Kari Trumbo 5 stars.

I was given a complimentary copy by Celebrate Lit and the author. These opinions are my own.

Guest post from Kari Trumbo

Greetings! I hope this isn’t your first introduction to Cutter’s Creek, but if it is, let me explain a bit about it. Cutter’s Creek is a series written by myself and three other Christian authors. Though there are numbers on each book, you don’t have to read them in order to get into the series, in fact, since each author writes in their own time period it might be somewhat confusing. Especially if you like a consecutive story. However, they are all stand-alone books and can be read in any order. If you like to read them in date order, you’ll want to read Kit Morgan’s books first, then Vivi Holt, Annie Boone, and finally mine, that will put them roughly in time order.

The Cutter’s Creek series has been a huge blessing to me. I’ve gotten to write with some wonderful authors and learned so much about writing a series together. So, out of my Cutter’s Creek books, why did I choose Ruby over Lily, Ivy, or Carol…well, I hate to play favorites, but Ruby is my favorite. She’s quiet, and her strength is surprising. She has a big trial, and some hurt to work through, but when you find the right person to help you through it, that’s a gift more precious than anything.

 I hope you love Ruby as much as I do. Blessings, Kari
