Near the beautiful, small town of Tuckersville, Tennessee, lives the independent and gorgeous Lauren Guthrie.

Derek Turner, a devastatingly handsome and ambitious lawyer, is instantly struck by the allure and fire he finds in the eyes of Lauren. Together, they face some of life’s toughest temptations and tragic challenges.

[Catherine Black · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read! Emotional and engaging from beginning to end! I did not unravel the plot and was surprised by the twist and turns, which rarely happens! Cannot wait for the next one.

[Jessica Strom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Religious fiction centered around the loss of a spouse and accepting that it's okay to move on. Themes of chastity, God's timing, and patriotism.

I enjoyed the twists. I thought I had an idea of what happened and was surprised by the turn of events. Some other plot points were predictable, but there is nothing wrong with that! Characters were likeable.

The writing style was blunt. The author told the reader about emotions or actions. I would have preferred more detail and being shown through descriptive writing. Timelines seemed rushed at points, but then would later be expanded upon, which was helpful!

Decent first novel by this author.
