This is the first book in a new series by Maggie Brendan.
Patience is somewhat new to town. She's inherited a boardinghouse from her grandmother and left her controlling mother to venture out on her own. It doesn't take long before she comes up against the local sheriff and sticks her nose in his business. He intrigues her, but she's not sure how he feels about her.
Jed isn't proud of his past. While he didn't do anything illegal, he's haunted and his past isn't done with him yet. He doesn't want to be attracted to her, because he feels he doesn't deserve love. Eventually, his past will come back and affect his relationship with Patience. It's just a matter of time before she learns the truth and you're just waiting to see how she'll react.
Patience is fond of writing devotionals for others, but the more she writes, the more she comes to realize that she hasn't always been taking her own advice. She's urging others toward forgiveness, but is she going to be willing to forgive when she has the chance?
This was a pretty good book but probably not my favorite by this author. I felt that the end was drawn out unnecessarily, and I found myself skimming the last bit of the book. Other than that, it was a cute story about forgiveness and finding love with an unlikely person. I'm not sure when the next book is due to come out, but I'm keeping my eye on this author. Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Revell through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
