I found this book to be an enjoyable read.  It had a little mystery and a little romance all in one. I would recommend this book to everyone.

This is not a book that I thought was a typical Lynn Blackburn book.  There didn't seem to be as much action as in her other books.  I was still a great book and one I would recommend to everyone.

Trapped in Yosemite by Dana Mentink

Overall this was a very good book.  It had a lot of action.  It starts out with Stella witnessing a murder.  As she's running away, there's an earthquake.  She finds herself trapped at a resort with none other that her old boyfriend, Von.  The mystery kept be guessing right up till the end.  

The negative aspect of this book is that she lived with her former boyfriend and had a baby with him.  He doesn't know the baby is his till the middle of the book.  There was never anything really mentioned about that not being the way a Christian should live their life.  I would not want my teenage granddaughters to read the book and think living together before marriage was ok.  In the description it is listed as a Christian book.   For this reason, I giving the book 3 stars instead of 4.
