When the man holding her papers suddenly dies Reese is uncertain of her future but has faith that God will protect her. What Reese doesnt know is that the man who dies owed a lot of money to the Tucker Mills Bank and the bank manager has decided that to recoop his losses to hold on to Reese's papers and she can work for the bank.

But Reese is scared of Conner and doesnot trust him. Can she put he fears aside to save them both?

That review is more exciting then the book actually is. This is a Christian fiction and like most all Christian fiction the characters are all unbelieavably good with few faults. And in the end everyone acepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and live happily ever after. Which of course is not realistic. Saying that, I did stay up all night to read this book, ok until 1:20am but i started reading at 8:30pm. And I am not sure why. I did not like the authors writing style. She jumped around to other characters in Tucker Mills telling their story which most the time had nothing to do with Conner and Reese's story. This really annoyed me. It was an easy read and required very little from me other than to keep reading. I did not care for the characters and I will probabley forget that had read the book in 5 years. I keep forgeting the name of the book and it was only this morning when I typed the title that I understood what it meant.

If your are in the mood for a lite easy read with nothing objectionable then I would recommend this book. No bad language, sex or violence. In fact the characters had no qustionable morals. The two "bad" people either die or turns out to be crazy. It is part of a triology and I think may be the 2nd book but I didnt feel like I was missing anything having skipped the 1st book. ...more
