Who was the handsome stranger who'd saved her life - twice? That was what Claire Wilcox wanted to know, especially after she'd impulsively invited the man to stay at her shelter for runaways. She sensed there was more to handyman Nick Andrews than met the eye. There was a great loss this loner was trying to run from - and Claire knew what running was all about.

I hate to attempt to purchase a book without knowing anything at all about it, so I am writing from the back cover. I hope this is ok. This was a very good book.

Who was this handsome stranger who'd save her life--twice? That was what Claire Wilcox wanted to know, especially after she'd impulsively invited the man to stay at her shelter for runaways. She sensed there was more to handyman Nick Andrews than met the eye--there was a great loss this loner was trying to run from. Claire knew what running was all about. A former runaway herself, she'd established a haven for troubled teens. As Nick earned his keep repairing damage to the shelter, he grew closer to Claire, to the kids she cared for...and to the God he'd shut out of his heart. Could Claire's faith begin to fill the spiritual void in his life and give him a new reason to love?

I enjoyed this love inspired book very much. I think partly due to the fact that I used to work with troubled youth so parts of the story I was really able to relate and identify with. I enjoyed the romance between Claire and Nick and how they had to both develop a trust with one another.

5.0 out of 5 stars High-quality Christian fiction by a fantastic author!!!, June 11, 2007

This review is from: A Sheltering Love (Love Inspired #302) (Mass Market Paperback)

I probably put off reading this book because it has a picture of a dog on the front cover, and not being much of a "pet-person" myself, I didn't think I'd be able to get into this story. Well, was I ever wrong! It wasn't about pets at all, but about giving love and shelter to troubled youths. Claire was such a gutsy heroine - someone to be admired and looked up to because she never backed down from a challenging situation. With a warm and soft heart, she reached out to the lost and lonely, and helped them find themselves and their way in life. I appreciated the slow and patient way Nick and Claire developed their friendship and grew to trust each other over time.
