The first love inspired novel I read was by Cheryl, and after that she quickly became my favorite author of all the writers for steeple hill, but I have to say that this isn't one of her best. The action happens way too fast, as does the romance, though I can't really fault her for the romance part, as I've found all romances of this type happen like that--which is why I don't read many romance novels any more! The story just feels rushed to me.

Another problem I have is that her main character surrendered to God way too easily and quickly, and forgave her brother too easily. Someone with that much independence, self-reliance, stubbornness, and anger and bitterness would take a lot more than that!

I just couldn't really get into the character's heads in this one--they felt flat and distant, and I just couldnt' get drawn into the story, couldn't really see what was going on, and this is all criteria that I use to judge a good book. If you like the love inspired stories and Cheryl, then go ahead and read this, but I'd really recommend her Hill Creek stories or her first novel (and still my favorite!) A Matter of Trust--these stories have a much better build up in suspense and action, and much better written characters.

Wow, this was a fun one to write. I don't quite know how to post my own comments about it! LOL! So I have to post as a reader!

I have to say I had a lot of help from friends in Australia. But it still sounds, I'd bet, a bit crazy. I was informed that really, Shiela wasn't a term to use anymore refering to a girl. Oh dear! Isn't it funny when you research and research how it works. There is always something that one says yeah, and another says no! LOL!

I want to thank my Aussie friends for their help. It meant a lot. This was more of a suspense than a romance, as you will find out in it. I have to say it's up for an RT Reviewer Choice award, which pleased me.

Some books just earn awards. Best Christmas, Shelter From the Storm, and this one are the main ones. ALmost all of my Texas series were finalists.

But, I am exploring suspense with this line and would love feedback on the book from anyone who'd like to comment!

I am thinking of taking a turn into the mystery, back to my original silly slapstick books (This Side of Paradise), but this book is definitely supposed to be suspense.

The ideas I had came from some online reports I'd read in a paper that I found interesting about current technology and soon to be technology.

God bless. Enjoy

I liked this book a lot. I really enjoyed "Shelter From the Storm" too and was glad to get the story on that mysterious man who shows up with Angelina at the end of that book. Now Angie has her own story and I enjoyed reading it! Good intrigue and storyline along with character development. I keep looking for Cheryl to write about the other two guys who work with Angie and Josh so, Cheryl, if you're reading this... hint, hint, wink, wink!
