Book review: BLUEBIRD GOLD, by Devney Perry

Lost Legends #1

Ilsa & Cosi

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Settling her father’s estate in a snow‑bound Montana cottage, Ilsa Poe finds herself caught between past regrets and new beginnings. What starts as a practical task—cleaning out the cabin and preparing it for sale—quickly becomes a journey of rediscovery, both of her family history and of her own heart.

Teaching math at Dalton High proves just as challenging as the icy winters. The students are behind, the system is broken, and the parents are quick to criticize. Yet Ilsa’s determination to give them the basics shows her resilience and stubborn fire—qualities that make her stand out not only in the classroom but in her personal life.


Enter Cosi Raynes, the local police chief, whose quiet strength and devotion to his teenage son contrast beautifully with Ilsa’s fierce independence. Their connection sparks first through attraction, but what makes this romance shine is how it deepens: he admires her stubbornness and courage, she treasures his kindness and protective nature. Watching them move from guarded strangers to partners who feel safe and right together is the heart of the story.


This isn’t just about chemistry—it’s about family, healing, and second chances. The way Ilsa bonds with Cosi’s son adds tenderness, and the gradual layering of trust makes the romance feel earned. Devney Perry balances passion with plot, weaving intimacy into the narrative without letting it overwhelm. The pacing of their relationship feels natural, the intensity of their feelings perfectly measured.


What I loved most is how attraction evolves into something richer: respect, care, and the sense of home they build together. It’s a romance that blends warmth with suspense, reminding us that love often arrives when we least expect it, and that the right person makes us feel both safe and alive.
