How's that for a gorgeous cover? Sarah Grace is a graphic designer and the gal who created my business cards. When I heard she was releasing her first book, I was extra eager to read it!
The book's blurb made me even more eager:
Piper Redding is a loner, but lonely. Everyone she loves has abandoned her and opening her heart to others is just asking for more pain. She can’t help but blame herself for her brother’s tragic death six years ago, and in her guilt, she shuts herself off from the world. No one could love her—not even the God who promised to be there for her but wasn’t.
For paramedic Ezra Bryant, failure is not an option. He’s had enough of it, and only by God’s grace is he able to put it behind him. But when a traumatic event brings Piper’s greatest fear and Ezra’s failures to light, can they use that event to allow God to mend their broken pieces? Can love triumph over fear, and grace over guilt?
So I was very eager to sign up for this blog tour and to get a review copy to read. It's even better than I anticipated! Piper and Ezra hop off the page vividly, and both of them are dealing with a lot of pain. Wow, the past was not a walk in the park. These two are not hurting this deeply because someone snubbed them one day; they have real reasons for flashbacks and nightmares.
But with the help of a budding friendship together, and some strong friends who come alongside (that Miss Cecile—oh, yeah! I love that vibrant, spicy lady.), they begin to see some resolutions from the past and some healing. And, just maybe, the healing might also mean they're ready for a little bit of romance??
You definitely need to read this one when you get a chance! And a giveaway might make it easier to get a chance, right? Here's a link to the giveaway on the Ruffles and Grace blog. Be sure to follow this link to enter for one of the great prizes below!
