Publisher's Summary

Her past is full of bad choices. An ex-con fleeing a violent gang is exactly the kind of bad boy she should avoid.

Hiding from her troubled past, Jules Demski sequesters herself in the mountains of Eron, Colorado, the only place she’s ever felt safe. Her solitude is shattered when an injured man staggers into her family’s barn.

Burned once and still in repair, the last thing she needs is another criminal on her hands. If she can only convince her heart of this, she just might be able to resist the interloper’s charm.

Former gangster Lorenzo Macedo has cleaned up his act, but now he’s running for his life. He stumbles upon a barn just as a bullet pierces his body.

Jules appears stand-offish and cold, but the tender way she nurses Lorenzo reveals a soft-hearted, passionate woman aching for her own wounds to be healed. No woman has ever set his blood on fire like Jules, but he has nothing to offer her besides a life on the run.

Can Jules and Lorenzo find redemption in the small town, or are their lives Beyond Repair?

At times we all are broken, but we can be whole!

The main characters in this book all have problems in their background and it tends to come out in their actions. Isn't that the way it is in life? We think someone is a grouch, or a snob, when really they could just be shy or insecure about what people think of them. The author has done a great job of showing us to not look at the external person but to take the time to get to know who they really are as we have no idea what a person could be going through or has gone through. We get to see an entirely different side of Jules in this book and I found the story to be refreshing in the ways things came to pass. I'm enjoying this series about the people that live in Eron and the many battles that people have.
I received a free code for this book from the publisher. This review is my own honest opinion.

Enjoyable!

I enjoyed this sweet and clean book. Some of the characters were introduced in a previous book but this can stand alone. I enjoyed the journey of faith that was portrayed in this story. The characters were well developed and each had their own problems and victories. The plot moved along well and had enough suspense in it to keep you listening.

The narrator did a good job with this, which made you feel as if you were connecting with each character.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, however, I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Christian story of forgiveness and love

This book features an unlikely couple. Two people from different worlds. Yet both want to find forgiveness and redemption.

Time for new beginnings or broken beyond repair?

Jules and Lorenzo each come from troubled past and have things they would much prefer to forget. Yet Lorenzo‘s past catches up with him, and Jules is dragged into it.

I appreciated reading how these young Christians worked to apply their newfound faith to their difficult circumstances.

forgiven and made new

Sometimes are past comes back to haunt us or invades into our present. Lorenzo wants desperately to start a new life but... Jules long for peace. These two characters have suffered much in their lives but have found hope in the Lord. They make such a great couple and bring encouragement to each other. Their is an element of suspense and danger that kept me reading. Loved Eli, Jule's dad. Forgiveness is hard to accept and give. This book was thought provoking in regard to forgiveness.

Reformed

This story is a sweet romance filled with a change of heart and a change of view. Changing can be hard, but doing the right thing and making up for past mistakes can be even harder. Being accepted by those around you can make the changes easier. Good story with a timely message.

beautiful Christian story with a dash of suspense

Jules and Lorenzo's story was beautiful!! And while, yes, I'm talking about the sweet romance developed between those two, I'm especially referring to how the author presented the work God wanted to do in their lives, healing them from their past, and learning to accept and depend on His forgiveness and grace.
As always, it was nice getting to see past characters (like Sophia and Trevor, or Chloe and Zach) as well as some "new" ones like Jules' dad, Eli. The descriptions were gorgeous as ever, and they truly made me want to visit Eron in the fall/winter. There's also an element of suspense since Lorenzo is trying to leave his past with the gang behind, but I think the focus of the book is more on the romance.

The narrator did a great job with all the different voices, and I loved how one could distinguish them when it was an all-girls (Chloe, Sophia, and Jules) conversation, for example. As with previous books in the series, she was spot on with the accents, in this case, Lorenzo's, since he's from Brazil. I also loved her smooth tone, as well as her acting the different nuances of the characters throughout the book. The only thing that ever felt "off" was around Ch. 18 or 19 I think when a certain scene was introduced in the middle of a different, ongoing one, making the timeline for that chapter seem odd.

Overall, a beautiful Christian story with a dash of suspense, brought to life by a really talented narrator. Great continuation to the series but can also be read as a standalone. Completely recommended! ~ 5 stars

Sweet simple romance which didn’t really wow me.

This was a nice Christian romance. It didn’t capture my whole attention and make me binge listen but was gentle and nice.
