Date: 01 23, 2014
What happens when the life you lead is all a faade? A role. One that is forced upon you either due to past regrets and guilt or family expectations."This was his life, and until Jack was through with him, he'd have to live by the grace of God, pray to his mother for forgiveness, and wait until he could be free."Judas Woods is in his own personal hell. His life is not his own; his father controls every move he makes. No matter how hard he tries to get out from under Jack Woods, Judas has no choice but to keep playing the roles that his dad assigns him - regardless of how immoral. The only control he has is the tattoos he puts on his back - each serving as a reminder of what he has had to endure at the hands of his father and his conscience."'Faith through Grace.'"Grace Winters is an intelligent, compassionate woman who is willing to help anyone who needs it - although, at times, she cannot help herself and step out of the box of appearances that her parents and her boyfriend put her in. It doesn't matter what she truly desires, there's too much at risk to veer off course.When Judas and Grace meet, their connection is electric, but there's too much baggage on both sides, including a Congressman boyfriend with secrets of his own. But what if they are each other's saving grace? What if their true selves can be exposed and maintained - forever ridding one another of the masks they wear for others?Fallen from Grace is a story about redemption through grace. Leigh Songstad takes readers through a tangled tale of loss, secrets, and passion. Judas and Grace fight through all the obstacles to be together. Judas is made whole again by Grace's love, and Grace frees herself from the pressures of conformity by giving in to her heart's desire.There's a great mix of steam, suspense, and drama, and although, at times, there feels like there are too many storylines going on at once with a lot of different players involved, by the time the end arrives, the complications get worked out. The title is quite fitting to Judas and Grace's tale - they find salvation in each other. Judas may have fallen due to the sins of his father, but through Grace's love, he rises again.Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review.4 poison apples!
