Book Synopsis:
After thirteen long
years, Karen Braden returns home to inherit her grandmother’s bed
and breakfast, hoping it will provide the kind of future she wants
for herself and her daughter. There’s only one problem—she’ll
have to face the past and the one man she’s never stopped loving:
Dean Anderson.
In the years following
Karen’s hasty and unexplained departure, Dean built a portfolio of
auto dealerships, yet he remains unfulfilled. When he sees Karen
again, his hurt resurfaces, clashing with the love he’s always had
for her. Determined to find out why she left him all those years ago,
Dean discovers there’s more at stake than just getting answers.

My Review:
I
thoroughly enjoyed this well written Christian romance. It has all of
the elements I require in a good novel. The characters were well
developed and seemed like real people. Dean, for example, was a man
with a good heart but with serious character problems. The plot was
the typical one for a romance but had enough depth that it was
enjoyable and not trite.
I
like it when a novel is informative and this one highlights some good
moral lessons. It certainly shows the devastating consequences of
casual sex. But the aspect of the novel I liked the best was how it
illustrates God working in the lives of people in the midst of life's
messiness, even if that messiness is because of one's own wrong
choices.
I
recommend this novel to those who would like to read about God
redeeming sinful actions and their consequences. God is loving,
forgiving, and redeeming and Powell has done a good job showing how
God might show Himself in all those ways. A salvation experience is
clearly presented, for example.
My rating: 5/5 stars.
Penelope Powell lives in Indiana but is a southern girl at heart. She has degrees in Political Science and Multinational Commerce and has lived in many places, here and abroad. She believes good fiction can inspire and change a person's direction. It is her prayer that her words will show readers a Savior who loves them. You can find out more about her at her website, follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
