This book was really cute!
I am giving it a 4 out of 5 stars because I personally feel like the book didn’t end as I was hoping it would, but I did enjoy the story. I was still super intrigued with the storyline and read every last page of it.

Wow, 😲😳😲😳.... shockingly wicked, twisted and unpredictable ending with lots of emotional, high intense, scary, and dangerous dramas.

Holly is quite a very resilient young woman, who fought very hard to keep her home, her business, and her sick Mom, safe. Eli was very determined to help her because he truly loves her.

Highly recommend

This book went so fast! Great book that kept me intrigued! I figured out who but that didn’t matter!

One book where the most obvious was the culprit instead of the red herring! That made me keep guessing because I just couldn’t believe the most obvious was it!

This was a cool story, but as with most novellas it was just too short to make much of an impact.

So good

This story definitely kept you guessing. I knew there was something wrong with Alex, but the scope of it was unbelievable.

Seemed to be missing important parts of the story. It was just ok. Kind of a predictable ending, as well.

Twisty-ish, but not fully developed in my opinion. Also, for the first half of the book all of the narrative switches happened without any break or sign, which is a pet peeve of mine.

It was a cute read but didn't keep me in suspense enough. I knew who the culprit behind the attacks was pretty much a third of the way into the story. So I will have to say cute but not her best work.

Well written, faith building story!

The story was very exciting and kept your attention. It kept you guessing who was behind all of the trouble and who was the good guy.

What I liked the most, was the clear Christian message. It shows both Holly and Eli growing in the Lord.

Great short story

To me this was another great book by Lynette Eason. It was one of these books where you talk to the character and try and get them to do something. If you haven't read any of her books, you should give this one a try.

This is entertaining Romantic Suspense. Though it is a stand alone novel, it fits right along side a number of other books this author has created about different members of the Rose Mountain community.

Enjoyable

Thoroughly enjoyed Eli and Holly 's story. Greed changes people sometimes for the worse but lasting love should be treasured.
