This is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. I have read short stories by high school students that were far superior to this. If this were a 10th grade writing assignment, I'd give it a "B". There is no plot development, no mystery, no originality. Even the title has been used several times. I cannot imagine a publisher ever accepting this novella for publication. The story is shallow and the dialogue is downright comical in most places. Does anybody really talk like this??

My only comfort is that I downloaded it free on Kindle so I'm only out an hour or so of time. I'm not sure, though, that I'll ever recover from some of the sappy dialogue in this book.

free? yes. worth it? no.
This book seems like the kind of book they would pass out in a church youth group. It has no development, a mediocre plot, and odd religious undertones that seem out of place. look at who the publisher is and it makes sense.

Feels rushed, more of a short story than a novel. No character development at all. Free but not even worth the time.

I think odd would be a good word for it. Stilted, short, practically plotless, random christian parts (not through the whole thing, but pieces thrown in like an after thought), and absolute lack of any reason for the conclusion other than the author got bored.

I am an avid reader and love that the Kindle gives me free peeks at writers and series this way. But I have to say that this book compared to all the others that Amazon has gotten me hooked on has fallen very short of it's mark. The short story was very unimaginable and the characters were undeveloped as well as the background for all the characters. I have nothing against a story about people finding their way back to God, but this story seemed to insert it out of no where. Kind of like they wrote the story and then went back and added the sentence "lost their way with God" wherever it would fit. I am in the habit of recommending books and series in particular when I read a good one and so far I have recommended quite a few that I have read from here and this will not be one of them. Do not waste your time. I would find another book.

This is one of the cheesiest books I have ever read. It takes place over the course of two days, yet the main characters create this whirlwind romance like they've known each other for years. The plot line is ridiculous, incomplete and very lacking in creativity. The main character is portrayed as this damzel in distress (a phrase the book actually uses) and despite being well-educated, still feels like she needs a man around to protect her.

And don't get me started on the lame Christian references...if you're going to write a book with religious undertones, do it! Don't half-ass it like this book did, trying to diguise the message of the Lord under an unrealistic, easily-solved, every-is-happy in the end storyline.

Downloaded this because it was Kindle freebie and was not sure what to expect, but not a half fleshed out story. There was some suspense in the beginning when Dr. Jocelyn Gold is attacked by one of her angry client's husband/father as you wonder if the hero is going to actually save her. Sam Pierce, FBI agent, does save her, but it is all down hill from this point.

This is a novella and it is choppily written. The characters aren't well fleshed out so you really don't care if they have a happy ever after ending. Then there were the odd introductions of religion into the story. The publisher is a religious one I think, but there was nothing in the story to explain why Jocelyn was not in line with her faith. Sam is and gives her a few nudges to join wholeheartedly back into the flock. The religious aspects of the story probably wouldn't appeal to anyone--religious or not. They just are in there pricking you like an annoying thorn.

Save your time and read something more worthwhile whether it is a romance novel, a Christian novel, or a suspense/thriller!

You do not find out until the end that it is an EXCERPT from a book, not the entire book. I was then left wondering what happened and what is missing? Very disappointing since I was expecting a whole book and have yet to find the book that it came from. At this point I have no interest in finding the rest of the story. Not a big fan of christian FBI mysteries either, not a good combination. I want to hear about the crime going on, not how these two idiots are so nice. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

It should be clearly stated that it is an excerpt from a book and not an antire book!

The warning: This is a Harlequin/Christian romance. I have nothing against Christian fiction, and do read it on occasion. The only positive thing I have to say is, at least it was free. This is a complete waste,thankfully, of a short period of time. The characters and story line are completely unbelievable.

They say you get what you paid for, and I paid nothing for this "book". It reads like a fluffed out version of a very elementary plot outline. If you're looking for something you can read in literally 10 minutes, this is it.
