Snowflake Bride by Jillian Hart Book 4 in Buttons & Bobbins Series
Ruby Ballard has not had the easiest life. Her mother died giving her life and at five her dad was injured and they lived with relatives. The last nine months of her life have been some of the best, if you don't count Narcissa Bell. Coming to a new school was hard and Narcissa did not help with her taunts on Ruby's second hand clothing but before she knew it she was surrounded by new friends. And a secret admirer that she never noticed in the background. Their farm was her first home since she was five. But life took a turn, her brother Rupert lost his job and her father could not find one. Ruby was blessed to get a job at the Davis household as a kitchen maid. Little did she know that the most drooled over young man in school, Lorenzo Davis, only had eyes for her. Between knowing her friends Kate and Scarlet were in love with Lorenzo and knowing they were about to lose their farm and move on, Ruby did all she could to hold her heart back from Lorenzo. Only her heart was not listening.
Lorenzo had fallen for the platinum haired blue eyed gal the first day she entered the school room. She never gave him notice though. Now that his mother hired her and he could see her each day he planned on seeing if he had a chance for her love. He quickly found out that she put everyone before herself and in this case, she could not bear to leave her father. What good would his family's wealth be if the only gem he wanted left?
Another great book in this series. Jillian has a great way of putting stories together that will pull your heartstrings and a few tears from your eyes as well. We also see a glimpse of Earlee in each book as she writes letters to Finn McKaslin who is in prison, which keeps us on pins and needles for the next book in the series, which will be Scarlet's story and not Earlee's.

I liked it. It was typical Jillian Hart. Predictable yet heartwarming and sweet.

This is the 4th in the Buttons and Bobbins series. It is Ruby and Lorenzo's story. I enjoyed the whole series, but I am so tired of the publisher and the author not making it obvious that books are part of a series or there are more books to come. We still have more members of the group of girls with no ending to their stories, but the back of the book doesn't mention any upcoming additions to the series.
