About this audiobook

When Her Family Is Threatened, She Doesn’t Expect Falling in Love to Be Their Best Defense

Many consider Evangeline Hamilton cursed. Orphaned at a young age and possessing a pair of mismatched eyes—one bright blue, the other dark brown—Evangeline 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 Evangeline has two—Seth and Zach, fellow 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. And when Hamilton’s unique sister, Evangeline, insists on dousing Logan with sunshine every time they cross paths, 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?

Ratings and reviews

I love spunky heroines who are vulnerable yet love fiercely! Such is the case of Evangeline Hamilton who is the heroine in "More Than Meets The Eye". I find it fascinating that she possesses mismatched eyes - one bright blue and one dark brown. I'd never heard of such a thing! Evie loves her 2 brothers fiercely. They were orphaned young so they have a very tight bond. I was blown away by how they managed to make it and thrive. Evie is such a ray of sunshine even though she has never been treated very nicely, except by her brothers (because of those eyes!). It made me stop and think about how it's just the same in today's world - bullies and others who don't treat others nicely. Evie rises above that! She's not quite sure what to do when she meets Logan Fowler in the woods behind her house! He's a mysterious stranger! Evie has been sheltered most of her life by her brothers so men haven't really been part of her life but she feels something for Logan and she also feels he is in need of her cheerfulness which he doesn't necessarily appreciate at the beginning! I really enjoyed their interactions! Logan is looking for the man who is responsible for his father's death and he wants justice! He doesn't want to deal with a "Mary Sunshine"!!! But Evie grows on him! I loved the secondary story going on in the book too about a new character, a crime being committed and how everyone gets involved to solve it! This book is just SO good! I had a very hard time putting it down and when I finished it, I wanted there to be more chapters! I wasn't ready to let go of the characters! Ms. Witemeyer's books continue to get better and better! I've read every one of them and her characters come alive to me! I definitely recommend this book as one that will capture the interest of the reader and keep it all through the book! *I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
