This
novel has an unusual plot line – something I've never seen before.
It really worked to make a great romance.
Haley
has just lost her husband, Sam, an army medic in Afghanistan. He had
been caught by a sniper's bullet before she could tell him she was
pregnant. A few weeks later she is shocked to see Sam on her front
porch. It is not Sam but his mirror twin brother Stephen, a brother
Haley knew nothing about. She is so disturbed she chases him off by
threatening him with her gun.
That
is the beginning of a turbulent relationship between Haley and her brother-in-law Stephen. The brothers had separated after high school and remained
estranged. Stephen had recently made up his mind he want to reconcile with Sam but was too late.
This
novel succeeds on several levels. It is well written, has great
character development, and deals with the themes of reconciliation,
forgiveness, and new starts. There is also the issue of acting out of
what others may think as opposed to what the heart inspires. The
characters do rely on their relationship to God to ultimately do what
He has planned. It is a rewarding romance.
