This is a multi-layered story about two
people, whose paths cross again. They've both changed after becoming
Christians, but Cassandra has a hard time believing Vince has truly turned his
life around. With two kids, one autistic, her protective instincts are at high
alert.
Author Connie Almony did a good job with the characters. I thought the story benefited from
the addition of the autistic child. Autism has become more common, and I learned
quite a bit about the subject.
I did get a bit annoyed with the heroine's intense grudge but
found it more understandable as past incidents were revealed. The element of
suspense ramped up the tension for me and lifted it from a simple
romance to a riveting story.
This book gets five stars. I'm looking forward to the next
story in this series.

I read a story once about someone who had to deal with a parent progressing in Alzheimer, that was quite touching and real. Thanks for the review.
Hi Marja - Thanks for sharing. It's hard to watch our parents grow older, especially those with diseases that rob them of their memories.
