Book Author: Sondra Kraak
What do you like about this book:
"Holiness was a strange thing. Just when he thought he'd aligned himself with the Lord, his thoughts betrayed him. If not his thoughts, then unkind words, impatience, fear. . . . . . Especially fear."
Most would never imagine that the adventurous, flirtatious, eternally optimistic lumber magnate Wilder Monaghan could struggle with anything remotely close to fear or anxiety; Wilder was rumored to live his life with minimal restraints, while Langley Taft wore self-discipline like a buttoned-up-to-her-chin-winter-coat. So why was Langley suddenly bent on following Wilder across the country with his son; her sister's son, the son whom Wilder thought had died alongside his mother? Because . . . it was the right thing to do??
Having to arrest Langley Taft upon her arrival in Pine Creek was the last thing on temporary deputy sheriff Wilder Monaghan's mind, for "the last person who should be behind bars was the compliant and dutiful Langley Taft". Stealing silver from her previous husband's home? Preposterous. In fact, why was she even in Pine Creek to begin with?
Being drawn together by awkward circumstances and confusing consequences is not the ideal way for opposites to attract, yet readers will absolutely relish the deep, meaningful conversations between the quick witted Wilder and the so-not-going-there Langley, who loves her lists and is always keeping score; when she can keep Wilder from changing the rules. But five simple gifts combined with five earnest requests of the Lord, take this story from an entertaining surface level to the immeasurable depths that this author's fans expect and admire.
"The Lord your God is with you; he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
