Great story

Really enjoyed this sweet story by this author. I have listened to most of her books, and I love that I don’t have to question anything in them. Always sweet, clean and a great story.

Wonderful!

What a mixture of emotions! I caught every one of them and even had a nail biting time. The soldier had been wounded in the war, but he turned back to God for comfort. It didn’t hurt him when he met his friend’s widow. The narrator did a great job and he had voices that could identify with the characters.

Christian Historical Romance

What a wonderful story! I loved their growth in their relationship in God and their view of how God sees them and what God expects of them! It was horrible how the villain flipped his personality! I was shocked by the severity of the one scene, but I was grateful she was safe and not physically beaten! The narration was just about perfect!! None of the characters sounded fake, but they sounded like real people with different sounds and cadences. I love that the story was focused on the military veterans and their struggles after conflicts and how their families are affected! Especially as a veteran myself!

Encourages Respect for Military Personel

This was a very moving story and touched my heart for what the military personel and their families sometimes sacrifice for our country. A warrior and a warrior's widow meet and becoming involved in a photo shoot together. But God has more planned than just a photo project in mind. Their relationship becomes friendship which is encouraging for them both. It is a sweet, clean, faith-based book and completely enjoyed it!

I requested this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Loved this story

Janice tells a beautiful story of military struggles, loss, forgiveness, and love. She is a real encourager! Highly recommend.

Definitely worth listening to

I really enjoyed listening to this story. Trace is a wounded veteran who doesn't really want to be around people. A friend gets him to join him and some other ex military friends at a beach getaway. He meets Britney there and neither one was completely happy to be there. When their paths cross again, everything starts getting complicated. The story is clean and enjoyable. The narration is very enjoyable as well.
