Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 25, 2013
Tracey Collins comes home to Tennessee, when the senator she believed in and worked so hard for in Washington, D.C. starts pressuring her for an intimate relationship, and she can tell no one there for fear of destroying Amanda, her best friend and the senator's wife. A lot of things have changed at home, but one thing hasn't. Deacon Stone is still as vindictive and conniving as ever, and he's long held a grudge against the Collins family. Her dad has gathered a group of misfits to do needed work around the community, and one of them is running from the accident that killed his wife. Tracey feels drawn to him, but is he too broken to ever be healed?Loved the cover, and this is a very good story, but it is almost too shallow. The characters never developed to the point I became invested and involved with them. I was interested to see what happened, but I was left feeling uncertain. Even though there's a good ending, I felt Noah's problems were not really resolved and needed a stronger resolution. I didn't really feel connected with Tracey, and therefore she seemed rather one-dimensional and flat. I don't regret reading it, but it could have been so much more with just a little additional work.
