A Sheltering Heart
When physician's assistant Gwen Yates arrived at the airport for her mission trip to Africa, she was shocked to find her boss had made her the new trip leader…and added his handsome son to the expedition. Worse, as executive director of Healing Missions International, Derek Harper seemed to be interested in the organization's numbers rather than the people they were sent to help.
Gwen's promise to his father to keep Derek busy led her to a new to show Derek that the organization's spiritual purpose wasn't healing only bodies, but hearts, as well. That her own heart was vulnerable to Derek's masculine appeal had somehow escaped Gwen's notice.

Great story. I was worried at first about the characters personalities, but soon it was made understandable.
The only critique I'd give it is the closing of the relationship or how quick the revelation was at the end. It made it the climax of the story feel like a very quick deflated balloon. Could have used just a little more time to solidify and enjoy the moment. Rather than feeling like the moment you'd been waiting for came and went in the blink of an eye. Three pages and he went from apprehensive to cured.

This book is beyond excellent! This book taught me to trust god to make the right decisions in my life, and allow him to use me in his master plan. This book is teaching god's children to trust him, and love him with everything we have. This book is really intense and heart wrenching.

Favorite quote: "If I have expectations that you don't live up to, that's my problem. I choose whether I allow myself to be disappointed"
