Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2008

"My name's Bradley. I'm eight and have cancer. I want to meet a Special Forces soldier more than anything. Well, almost anything. Having a family would be nice."

U.S. Air Force pararescue jumper Joel Montgomery promised to make a sick child's wish come true. Well, not the family part--not with Joel's past. And so despite vowing never to set foot back in Refuge, Illinois, Joel parachuted onto the boy's school lawn to a huge smile. But another smile unexpectedly stole Joel's heart: that of Bradley's beautiful teacher, Amber Stanton, who was trying to adopt the boy. And trying to show Joel it was time for new vows.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story with warmth, hope, and humor, January 6, 2008

This review is from: A Soldier's Promise (Wings of Refuge, Book 1) (Love Inspired #430) (Mass Market Paperback)

Cheryl Wyatt's debut novel A Soldier's Promise is a fast-paced tale filled with warmth, hope, and humor. Teacher Amber Stanton is in the midst of adopting Bradley, a sick, neglected student when pararescue jumper Joel Montgomery makes Bradley's wish come true, and in the process gives Amber a wish or two of her own. Don't miss this feel good, delightful story of two people who seek God's will for their lives and discover God will give them all they need to recover from their painful pasts and to fulfill His purpose in a way they never dreamed possible. I look forward to reading Wyatt's next book!

This review is from: A Soldier's Promise (Wings of Refuge, Book 1) (Love Inspired #430) (Mass Market Paperback)

This debut novel by Cheryl Wyatt is the first "military" tale I have ever read, but I guarantee it won't be the last! Is there anything more romantic than a man in uniform? Not unless you're talking about the hunky hero from Ms. Wyatt's book, Joel Montgomery, an honorable man with a haunted past. From the first page when Special Forces soldier Joel free-falls into Amber Stanton's life and that of her eight-year-old student, Bradley (a cancer patient), both my stomach--and my heart--did flips! And I have to tell you, it was "high flying" from then on out. But this well-written read is more than just a great romance! It's a heart-tugging relationship between a sick little boy without a family and the two main characters who fall in love with him as well as each other. But most of all, it's a story of spiritual healing so well-done, that the reader is quietly lifted in the process while enjoying a truly delightful debut novel. No surprise here that ROMANTIC TIMES gave A SOLDIER'S PROMISE its highest honors with 4-1/2 stars and "Top Pick" status. Cannot wait to read the sequel, Ms. Wyatt, so keep `em coming. And that's an order!
