Forgiven by Grace
Sierra Banner is a very beautiful girl — one who has a lot going for herself in life. So there's really no surprise that she's dated extensively in her twenty-eight years.
However, despite her best efforts — and all her positive attributes — she hasn't been successful in snagging Mr. Right.
When she meets Minister Richard Castleton, the draw between the two is apparent — almost from the very beginning. However, there's one problem—Sierra's heart was broken by a man of the cloth in her past and she's made a vow to herself to never date a preacher again.
Richard knows instinctively that Sierra is his soulmate, and that she's everything that he could ever want in a woman or a wife. Problem is he has to convince Sierra of that and persuade her to love again.

Such a touching story. When Sierra was very young she made a profound decision that haunted her into adulthood. And she chose to keep this decision to herself and tells no one. Then she meets and falls in love with Richard. This is when she is forced to face her greatest fear.
As in other Christian romance novels, the villain is a high-ranking member of the church. One day I would love to read a story where the villain is the heroine and she changes her ways through her faith. I do like how clever these villains are. The villain is usually the deacon or pastor's daughter, but the scheme she devises to break up the hero and heroine is never the same, but always ingenious.
Oh and one other small thing is that Sierra owned a bookstore and was thrilled about a $150k buyout. I thought she should have asked for far more considering that she was giving up her dream. But that is just one small detail. Otherwise the book was a nice clean Christian story which I really enjoyed.

God"s grace is sufficient
Sierra and Richard were destined to meet. God led them to each other and gave them a love for a lifetime. I enjoyed their story.

Sierra was a young lady who had a lot going for herself. Sierra was hurt at the age of 18 by a man who she thought loved her. Sierra made a promise not to date a preacher. Sierra meets Richard Castleton and she enjoys his company. Sierra is confused once she finds out Richard is a minister. Awesome story on forgiveness and love.
