Great read! I enjoyed Jade's journey as she sought to find the strength to stand up for herself. Her character reminded me of myself and how I felt after my broken engagement last year. Well written and easy to read, I give this book five stars!
This book was recommended by a friend and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. The characters were well written, the storyline held great details, and there were some surprises thrown in to keep you guessing. I really enjoyed watching how faith and family helped both Jade and Clay heal from past wounds. I think this is a great beginning to a wonderful series and I can't wait to read more.
