“Faith, love, and lots of praying provide the foundation for the relationship that develops between an energetic, optimistic heroine and a hero learning to love again in Hake’s latest richly emotional inspirational romance.”
— Booklist“Hake knows what readers want: romance, laughter, and big-hearted characters who know that God never closes one door without first opening another. This story will stay with readers long after the cover is closed.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)" Overall I really enjoyed this book...probably my favorite in the series...but the ending felt very rushed and not all the loose ends were tied up. Still, a great book, an easy read. "
— Jerrica, 1/28/2014" Loved this book. I felt the author does an excellent job of describing the character's emotions, etc. "
— Jennifer, 1/26/2014" another inspirational audio book--about immigrating to the US from England in the 1890s. A good story -- multiple plots "
— Nancy, 1/16/2014" I thought the introduction of a couple of characters in the middle of the book was odd (and underdeveloped)...until I looked at the listing of her other books and realize they are the subjects of her previous books...which I haven't read. "
— Lori, 1/14/2014" Wonderful book. I liked the second book in the series better, but still great. "
— Tara, 1/12/2014" I really liked this one. Very good read. "
— Becky, 12/24/2013" Cute and predictable, yes, but after Lamb, I felt the need to read something wholesome!! "
— Tiffany, 12/21/2013" I can always count on Cathy Marie Hake to write a truly enjoyable book. When life is stressful, it's like having a breath of fresh air! "
— Leslie, 12/16/2013" Another good romance, after Fancy Pants. Well-developed characters, kept me wrapped in the story all day yesterday. But still: Millie, Daniel, Isabelle- they seem a little stereotypical. Sweet ending. I'd reccommend it, but Fancy Pants was, I think, a little better. "
— Carrie, 11/11/2013" This is the kind of book that when you get to the end, you let out a contented sigh and say out loud.....ummmmm what a nice story..... "
— Delia, 11/9/2013" Light reading. Enjoyable historical romance. "
