Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Silent Shadows
Book Author: Natalie Walters
What do you like about this book:
" . . . .only he has enough grace to turn our messes into blessings."
Pecca Gallegos would never consider her son's life, born out of wedlock to a convicted criminal, anything but a blessing, although it seems that the messy side of the equation has followed her to the small town of Walton, Georgia. Learning that her son's father is due to be paroled was unexpected, but even more unusual is that her life simultaneously appears to be in jeopardy and by association, her son. Working as a rehabilitation nurse at Home for Heroes has been a wonderful experience, but now she's wondering how she can keep Maeco safe. Interestingly, it seems that her heart has a safety issue as well; her newest patient, Captain Colton Crawford, seems to have taken their unorthodox introduction in stride, which makes him dangerous in more ways than one.
Maybe Colton's Uncle Jack knew what he was talking about when he said, "the best miracles come when all hope seems out of reach", for as the story progresses, Pecca and Colton will find themselves reaching for miracles, as they struggle to understand how all things can work together for good. . . and if by chance, the two of them might be able to forge a forever kind of partnership.
This romantic suspense has all the triggers of a good story; puzzling plot threads, opposites attracting, and life lessons emerging; perhaps some readers will think that the inner musings of two people falling in love is a bit much, but the final chapters showcase how this author can bring her story together at the very last minute, earning a resounding round of applause.
