[Stephanie Hart · Rating 3 out of 5]

It started out really good with wholesome and supportive characters. The heroine's friend showed unchristian characteristics that were not addressed and the heroine showed a toxic trait at the end in her demands rather than working through her struggles and relying on God's strength and trusting Him. There could have been such a powerful message had these two things been biblically addressed. The hero didn't address his own hatred and it was forgotten about. The heroine did make a relationship right and addressed her own hatred which showed Christian love and forgiveness giving a great message. Overall, I give the book 3 stars due to the toxic traits that could have so nicely been given to God allowing the reader to experience the characters strength of faith, love, compassion, trust, and forgiveness.

Dina Sparks takes care of Will Martin after he is injured during a bull ride. This romance has a lot of difficulties to overcome. Nice sweet read.
