More Than Meets The Eye By Karen Witemeyer

Back of the Book

Many consider Evangeline Hamilton cursed. Orphaned at a young age and possessing a pair of mismatched eyes--one bright blue, the other dark brown--Eva has fought to find her way in a world that constantly rejects her. Yet the support of even one person can help overcome the world's judgments, and Eva has two--Seth and Zach, two former orphans she now counts as brothers. 

Seeking justice against the man who stole his birthright and destroyed his family, Logan Fowler arrives in 1880s Pecan Gap, Texas, to confront Zach Hamilton, the hardened criminal responsible for his father's death. Only instead of finding a solitary ruthless gambler, he discovers a man not much older than himself with an unusual family. When Zach's sister, Evangeline, insists on dousing Logan with sunshine every time their paths cross, Logan finds his quest completely derailed. Who is truly responsible for his lost legacy, and will restoring the past satisfy if it means forfeiting a future with Evangeline?

My Thoughts

Every once in a while you need a Hallmark movie type book, with nothing to crazy to keep you guessing.  Karen Witemeyer is the author I turn to for this and More Than Meets The Eye is a perfect example of why.  Evangeline and Logan are both great characters and even though Logan has built his life around vengeance against Zach, you never get that vibe.  All in all I would suggest this as a perfect smooth novel when you aren't in the mood for anything intense.
