This was my very first Inspirational romance of any kind. I am fond of romance, especially with a twist of suspense. I am also a Christian, so hoped this book would pique my interest on both fronts. While I enjoyed the story and the characters, I couldn't help but feel distracted by many of the "inspirational" moments in the book. Sometimes they just felt forced, as though the author felt she needed to insert "X" number of "inspirational" moments and/or messages and so did so in whatever location she felt she could shoehorn them in. Other than that, I found the read enjoyable. (

Epigraph

These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold---though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
---I Peter 1:7

Dedication

This book is dedicated to Caroline Dunsheath, a true friend and writing companion, who never stopped believing in me. Thank you, Cee, for your cheerful willingness to read and critique anything of mine no matter how many times you've seen it before. I'm looking forward to many more adventures together.

Special thanks to my family, Rick, Ashlyn and Austin, for their love, support and understanding; my mother, Evonne Leiske, who shares my love of reading, and my father, Larry who inspired me that with hard work I can succeed in whatever I do; Jacqui Wilson, Nancy Latham and all my writing buddies who make this career journey special; Kelly Mortimer and Tina James for their encouragement and guidance.

First words

The shattering glass broke the stillness of the moonlit forest startling sleeping birds into flight and scattering grazing deer in the meadow below. As the last tinkling echo faded away, Kitty McGuire studied the hole she'd created in the back door of the mountain cabin.
