DiAnn Mills creates a compelling story in Laterns and Lace, the second book in her Texas Legacy series. Jenny arrives in Kahlerville with the intent of taking her niece back home. A mysterious man, Aubrey, is a step behind Jenny and trust is not his middle name. It is a story of good and evil and the power of love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jenny's search for Jessica and Rebecca, April 10, 2007

This review is from: Lanterns and Lace (Texas Legacy, Book 2) (Truly Yours Romance Club #3) (Paperback)

Jenny Martin has gone to Kahlerville to investigate the death of her sister Jessica and to take home her sister's child Rebecca. However, when she finds the child has been adopted by the town's doctor, she is confused as to why. A strange man, Aubrey Turner has followed her all the way from Cleveland, Ohio, and seems to know entirely too much personal information about Jenny, Jessica and the child.

When a lovely elderly widow woman drops dead, her home is ransacked, the town's brothel burns and then a former soiled dove is beaten senseless, the town knows there is someone bent on destroying people and the sheriff sets off to find the guilty person or persons.

Jenny is determined to take Jessica away from the only family she has ever known. She believes the child belongs to her blood family. However, when a letter of estrangement arrives from her parents, she realizes they will not be the best caregivers for lovely little Rebecca.

It takes Jenny and the doctor a long long time to sort through everything, and when they do, a diary provides some much needed information. This book is a page burner, and book three promises to be just as good. Thank you DiAnn Mills, for another "Texas Legacy" volume.

Lanterns and Lace is another enthralling tale from gifted author DiAnn Mills. Second in her Texas Legacy series, this story keeps the reader guessing with all its suspenseful twists and turns. As with all of Mills's books, Lanterns and Lace moves beyond its historical setting to speak to today's readers with timeless themes of faith, honor, and redemption. DiAnn Mills never fails to deliver a compelling story. Once again, she has raised a lantern to light our way to adventure.
