Tracie
Peterson is an author I normally enjoy reading.
I've read many of her books. In
this series, I've only been able to read the second one, A Moment in Time. I've still got my eyes out for the first one,
A Sensible Arrangement.
Jessica
hasn't been a very nice person. It's
something she's determined to change, but everyone seems to delight in
reminding her what she was. Even though
she's trying, it feels like no one understands.
Until she talks to Austin. He
seems to understand her in a way no one else can.
Austin has a
tragic past and has vowed to never let anyone get close to him again. It hurts too much. His heart is drawn to Jessica and soon
overrides his head. With another suitor
in the picture, does he even stand a chance?
This was a
really good book. I really liked
Austin's character. It was hard NOT to
sympathize with the man once you realize all he's gone through. Jessica earns some of my pity as well. She honestly tries to prove she's changed,
but most people are determined to think the worst of her.
This series
has a continuous story line in it that is resolved in this book. It involves the counterfeiting mystery. Since I haven't had the chance to read the
first book, I can't say for certain that it starts in that one, but I'd guess
it does.
Technically,
you can read this book by itself, but you're going to get a more complete story
(and a more satisfactory one) reading them all and reading them in order. The first book, A Sensible Arrangement, seems
to be the story of Jake and Marty. The
second book, A Moment in Time, is more of Jake and Marty's story but mainly
Alice and Robert's. This final book is
mainly about Jessica and Austin, but the mystery involving the counterfeiting
is a pretty major theme. I'd recommend
reading them in order.
What I've
read of this series has been great work by Tracie Peterson. I look forward to reading the first book
someday. Good Book!

a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
