All right, so if you read the book summary and you're anything like me, you chuckled and went "REALLY? That's a bit cheesy, don't you think?" (But I wanted to read the other two in the series, so I had to read this one...) And it could have been the cheesiest book ever, but it was VERY well written, with very intriguing and believable characters. I mean, the book wasn't perfect by any means. There were a couple of things that sorta bugged me, but overall, it was downright moving.

Amazingggg. I thought it would be an airy fairy christian romance, but it delves heaps deeper and deals with the reasons woman became/become prostitutes, how hard it is for them to get out and the healing power of Jesus :)Even though its set in the 1880's its still relevant with its themes of men objectifying women, and women feeling that they have to conform to men's worldly expectations?? Instead of realizing theyre a cherished daughter of God :)

This is a Christian historical romance book that is fairly predictable and contains a lot of scripture, including the plan of salvation. Sabrina, the main character, was a prostitute who is befriended by the sheriff and his wife who share God's plan of salvation with her and help her get out of prostitution. She leaves town and starts a new life, supporting herself by being a seamstress and working in a mercantile. She tries to help other prostitutes and finds love in her new town. It's a book t

I give it a three, because I loved the premise: The pastor and the prostitute. But again, as is traditional for Lori Wick, she has this unbelievably fantastic story idea, and proceeds to destroy it with preachy Christian messages, (and I'm a Christian, so that's saying something) corny love and really awkward phrases:
"Will you walk me home?"
"On one condition."
"What's that?"
"I get to hold your hand."
corny..... and really p More...

Forgiving oneself of their past sins is a difficult issue no matter what it is that you are guilty of. The story of a prostitute coming to Christ has been told. It was told in the Bible, it was told by Francine Rivers, it was told by Tamera Alexander, and now I've read it again from Lori Wick. But that is not saying oh, read it move on. Definitely not. The fact of hearing over and over again that no matter how bad you think your past actions have been, God loves you is incredible. The story of S

This was the second in the Big Sky Dreams series. I ejoyed this one the best. Sabrina, who lives a life of a prostitute in Denver, when a Policman and his wife take and interest in her and help get her out of that life, but it is hard to get away from her past in Denver, so she moves to Montana. I thought this character was really engaging and I enjoyed reading this story.

a bit unbelievable how the story first unfolds, BUT ... then again, maybe during that time, when people weren't as afraid of "getting involved", it very well COULD have happened!
again, i loved the down to earth characters, and the realism. looking forward to the next book in the series, providing i can get my hands on it!

I received this book for Christmas. It is a wonderful story of forgiveness, and how God can accept us no matter what our past. I'd recommend it for any fans of Janette Oke or prairie romance, but take note that it is a mature book.

I liked this book better than the first book in the series, Cassidy. This one had more basisi in reality, and wasn't so sugary sweet. Still, a bit more conflict would make this series more interesting.

The author uses the word "that" WAY too much. ""Rylan got up off the grass. That man walked to the stream." It was a little annoying. I did enjoy reading this book it is a nice east entertaining book.

I feel like the story moves extremely slowly, which could be due, in part, to the fact I'm listening to the book on CD. The storyline is nice and I like the reminder that God's grace covers all sin. But some frustrations with the way the author writes weigh on me, such as "that woman" and "get wet" in reference to wading in the creek. Who talks like that all the time?

I always hate to get to the end of a good book, so when I finished Cassidy, I was anxious to read this one....enjoyed it.

This book wasn't great, but it was a step up from the first book in the series. Again, there's no secret who the heroine will marry at the end, but at least this time there seems to be some real obstacles in the couple's way. The short scenes made a little more sense because I was familiar with the characters. I plan to read the third book in the series, mainly because it is easy and light. If I were to recommend it, I would say that the series is a good choice for adults who are learning Englis

Loved it. The best one in the trilogy. I actually like the romance and religion. It's refreshing to read an uplifting book with no sludge, but still be about everyday situations and everyday people trying to find truth and peace with themselves and with God.

Wick's later series (including this one) are not nearly as strong as her earlier work.
My theories: she is lightening her schedule as she approaches a well-earned retirement, or she's already retired and the last few series have a ghost writer.
My recommendation: skip this series and check-out her early work from the library.

Another Lori Wick romance for those who love Christian "gentle reads". Very gentle; the story is completely about a man and a woman coming to realize that they are falling in love.
As usual, Wick's dialogs are filled with ridiculous anachronisms that disqualify the story from being serious historical fiction.

Love the angle Wick takes in this novel. Sabrina's past as a prostitute is handled well, and it really helps drive home the idea of redemption -- perhaps the most significant one to do this since "Sean Donovan." I also like that she showed Rylan as a devoted minister before his marriage.
