"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 that promotes compassion and forgiveness, but pretty predictable although it leaves some loose ends. The author did not go into a lot of detail when handling the prostitution aspect of this story. I enjoyed reading it."
— Karen (4 out of 5 stars)
" Best book of the series Sabrina is a inspiration. Will listen to this audio book again "
— Connie Six , 2/28/2022" Good reading with a frontier flavor. "
— Glover, 2/13/2014" 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. "
— Highland-dreamer, 2/9/2014" 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. "
— Marie, 1/29/2014" This was a good read, though the story jumped around a little. It held my attention. The ending was fairly predictable but satisfying. "
— Vicki, 1/12/2014" Great book and open s my eyes more to how we are all equal and helped me grow in god ..loved the proposal of rylans!! "
— Annabelle, 12/30/2013" Great book and opens my eyes a little bit more to how everyone is equal!! Loved the Will you marry me idea!! so sweet! "
— Maggie, 12/29/2013" I really wanted to give this book a five star because I love Lori Wick's writings. However, although it was a great book I didn't like the story line nor the beginning of the book. Beyond that it was really good. "
— Patsy, 12/20/2013" this was a great book. it had scripture to help with learning how to overcome our past. "
— Stephanie, 12/14/2013" typical lori wick book, a very easy read, kind of fluffy. but i still liked it "
— Gatorgal21, 11/14/2013" 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. "
— Talena, 11/7/2013" Just like the 1st in this series, I read it quickly and loved it!! "
— Leigh, 11/2/2013" 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. "
— Shantel, 10/19/2013" I think it was good, but I don't really remember it well. Just bits and pieces of it. "
— Hannah, 10/19/2013" Good book. Great morals (which makes it sound dry which it's not) worked smoothly in. "
— Charity, 6/14/2013" I love Lori Wick and this was another good read. "
— Erika, 4/29/2013" I don't think that Lori Wick is the best writer ever, but I like her books. I like that her characters are moral, and I like that in the end, everyone falls in love. I don't think this was one of her better books, but it was a satisfying read, especially on a tired Saturday night. "
— Jen, 4/16/2013" This was not a bad book to read...I wish I knew it was a 2nd book in a series before I read it, but whadda ya gonna do. It seemed like the story was too simple and happened to easy...I didn't feel like it was realistic. Maybe I'll go to the library and read Cassidy now! "
— Terry, 2/10/2013" Great second book to this series. Lori Wick shows God's redemptive love again, and really got me excited to think about what He can do in my life. "
— Nita, 12/4/2012" This book was handled quite well, i love her writing, i really love her First book of the Big Sky Dreams, Cassidy, absolutely heart warming. "
— Marisa, 4/26/2012" This is the second in the Big Sky series. I loved the main character's transformation. "
— Carrie, 1/25/2012" I really enjoyed the first Lori Wick book I read--and I enjoyed several after that. Perhaps if I had read this one before reading others I would have enjoyed it more. As it stands, it was a pleasant, clean, and quick read. I don't have much else to say about it! "
— Melissa, 1/4/2012" A sweet easy Christian based romance. "
— Laura, 12/5/2011" I really enjoyed this book. It was actually the first one out of the series that I read, but that really didn't matter this time. Love how the books in this series could be read individually without ruining a main plot. "
— Cera, 12/2/2011" Great story which is a romance but also teaches how big God's love is and how anyone can decide to change and be good. "
— Katherine, 9/9/2011" 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. "
— Judine, 6/30/2011" I always love Lori Wick! No matter what she writes, its always pure Christian gold. I absolutely always enjoy her work! "
— Seneca, 5/9/2011" It was wonderfull with every page making you eager to see the next. "
— Tom, 3/21/2011" My favorite Lori Wick book, and I've read most of them! <br/>] "
— Nicole, 1/12/2011" I don't usually like historical fiction but I did read this one twice. "
— Allison, 1/12/2011" Well written. Brings another era to our present day beliefs in Christ. "
— Lisa, 7/13/2010" This book made me fall asleep so many times. Idk, it was just something about the writing. By the time I got halfway through the book, I would just fall asleep almost instantly when I picked up the book. I just didn't have enough stamina to finish it, haha. "
— Elle, 7/8/2010" The Hawk and the Jewel (Kensington Chronicles, Book 1) by Lori Wick (2004) "
— Widsith, 6/19/2010" Ok, Lori Wick books are my guilty pleasure. Not that there is anything to feel guilty about - all of her characters are usually above reproach. Some may be extremely far-fetched or even ridiculous, but I still love them. "
— Jennifer, 1/10/2010" Another of my favorites from the Kensington Chronicles. Brandon and Sunny's journey from friendship into romance is compelling and you'll fall in love with each and everyone of the characters. A must read. "
— Tiffany, 12/22/2009" Not too bad actually. The begining and the end are the best though! "
— Valentina, 8/21/2009" Okay so this book was given to me by a friend and I tried reading it. It's a bit too perfect for me. I like books where people are imperfect and I can relate to them. This wasa bit cheesy. I must admit though that I made it about half way. Totally predictable too. "
— Mary, 4/21/2009" This is a beautiful Christian/Historical romance saga novel that deals with two people who live through danger and romance to find themselves with a happy ending. A great four day read that makes you a believer in God. "
— Kristen, 3/8/2009" Just read this for the fifth or sixth time and will be reading it again:) One of my all time favorites. "
