Stained Heart Crystal Joy

 

4 out of 5 stars

Description:
Grace Cunningham worries about everything—her struggling bed-and-breakfast, her son’s negative attitude, and her best friend’s wedding. Scratch that. It’s not the wedding that concerns her; it’s one of the groomsmen. Her ex. It’s been eleven years since Grace moved away from Maple Valley without telling Caleb her life-altering secret. With a full summer of wedding festivities ahead, Grace must finally face the past and divulge the painful truth to the only man she’s ever loved. 


After serving a decade in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Caleb Meyers returns to his small town to spend more time with his aging father. But the longer he’s home, the more Caleb second-guesses his decision to leave and considers reenlisting. Avoiding the difficult decision, he spends every waking minute staying busy—searching for a serial arsonist, volunteering for the mayor, and helping his sister with wedding plans. If only wedding planning didn’t include Grace, the unforgettable single mom who broke his heart eleven years ago. 


As the summer unfolds, Grace and Caleb rekindle their chemistry and dream of the promising relationship they’d once shared. But the scars of their past threaten to destroy their future once again. Can Grace and Caleb discover a new path before the arsonist strikes again and jeopardizes everything?  

My thoughts on the book:

So if you have been following my reviews for long you know I like finding new to me authors, and here is one of those.

So this is a new to me author and because of that I have not read any of the other books in the series. This book did not disappoint. From the beginning to the end some of it has you on the edge of your seat. I really liked Grace and her story. I did feel that the book was predictable but it still did not take away from the story overall. I liked Caleb and his story it was deep and emotional for sure. I would say that for those who are content sensitive: this book contains non-graphic scenes and descriptions of a sexual assault. The book other then that is a good clean read and may be suitable for the right age. I would totally recommend this book very quick read and worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
