True love

Great book. A lady growing up and asking God for guidance and forgiveness. The new sheriff asking God to help him forgive himself.Togeter they fine love for each other and most of all God’s guidance.

Great 3rd book

Loved the 3 rd book as much as the first book. Great story line and makes you feel like you are right with them. Great books

Good continuation of this series

I liked this series because each book truly was a continuation of the one before it, so by the end, you just had one big story in your head, not 3 separate ones. Excellent job with that. I wished the ending wasn’t so abrupt -just a 10 minutes at the end of this one would have been nice.
I definitely recommend this book and series though. Nice combo of suspense and love in this one.

Texas rangers

I love the way she weaves history and the story line in her books. This one is worth the listen.

Good read would recommend

Good love story everyone needs change like the fact that she saw the flaws in her spirit and was willing to change

just okay

In this book Jessica [from the previous book] doesn't like who people perceive her as so she tries to become a better person. Jessica now has two suitors wanting her attention... who will she choose? I felt like this book was harder for me to get into than the others in the series. That is why I only gave the story 3 stars. I really enjoyed the Christian theme throughout this book and the nuggets of wisdom. However, I thought that every once in awhile the narrator would get throaty [almost Kermit the Frog-ish].

It was ok

I did my feel like I did while reading the first two so that’s why I put ok. Goodness pushing the stars should be enough

Tracie Peterson never fails to deliver !

I never fail to enjoy a Tracie Peterson novel. Her development of character , the challenges that they face and the way they face them always holds one's attention. Once in awhile something is predictable, but there's always plenty of twists and turns to hold one's attention. This author never fails to deliver a good read....and I love the audible versions!

Entertaining Listen

I haven't listened to the first two audiobooks in this series yet but after listening to this one, I think I'll get them.

Privileged heroine Jessica Atherton may have lost her previous beau but she's got plenty suitors now. One is the rather insistent Harrison Gable, a lawyer who lays his attention on thick and a little too much. But Jessica is beginning to feel like she needs to get married and start a family, and Harrison obviously is interested in her.

Austin Todd, is also new to Jessica's Texas town. Previously a Secret Service agent, he's lost his entire family and is harboring some deep hurts. Although he's begun work as as a Texas Ranger cattle inspector he becomes involved in a dangerous case of forged gold certificates that involve Jessica's close friends.

Jessica has a huge character arc. At the beginning I was somewhat put off by her, because she was an anti-hero--spoiled, self-centered, and privileged. But she journeys on to correct her flaws, with God's help, and becomes a admirable young lady.

Will go back and listen to the first two series as the characters from the other stories are also mentioned in this book. You'll be rooting for Austin to win Jessica's heart. Will he?

Inspirational and positive series

I really loved this series and the character development was very well done. The narrator was masterful in her portrayal of the character voices, however occasionally it sounded as if she smacked her lips. That was the only thing that I found distracting and somewhat annoying. Other than this, I applaud Tracie Peterson on another well written series.
