"This was an interesting Wick book to read...different than her others in that both of the main characters were not 'saved' as they usually are in her books. It made for a little deeper characters, more growth through the book. "
— Melissa (4 out of 5 stars)
“Barbara Rosenblat’s flawless reading makes this a thoroughly enjoyable story about love and adversity with appeal far broader than that of a traditional romance novel…Rosenblat’s reading is smooth, and her ability to convey the characters’ emotions is superb. Rosenblat’s vocal characterizations enhance the listener’s experience, particularly during the dialogue between Jace and the women in his life.”

— Kenzie, 9/1/2012" I picked this up at a Wesley Owen sale. Lori Wick is billed as 'one of the most versatile Christian fiction writers in the market today'. Sadly I didn't find it well written; the Christian bit was too contrived and it raised more negative than positive thoughts. "
