After two broken engagements, nurse practitioner Mia Robinson is done with dating. From now on, she only trusts herself and God, and she's focused on her eighteen-year-old sister, Lucy, and caring for patients. Just as she applies to work for an international aid organization, a phone call from Lucy, who's pregnant and running off to marry her twenty-one-year-old boyfriend, throws a wrench into all of Mia's plans.
Jake Tanner may have recovered from the physical injuries he sustained on the job as a police officer, but his heart has yet to heal from losing his former partner in the tragedy. He's poured himself into starting a camp for the sons of fallen officers and mentoring Sam, the adult son of his deceased partner, who's asked him to be his best man at his wedding.
Mia is expecting a mess when she arrives to sort out the situation with Lucy, but she wasn't expecting Jake. And Jake, who can't help envying Sam and Lucy, doubts he'll ever experience their happiness for himself. But maybe Jake's courage and Mia's caring spirit are just what they need to bring them a lifetime of healing and a forever kind of love. . . .

This is a great story of faith and trusting God. All of the characters in this book are dealing with some kind of issue. As they deal with their very issues, they learn to rely on each other and on God to help them through their troubles. God is always there waiting to help us, but we just have to ask Him for that help. This is what the characters in the book learn. While I really wanted to like this book, I just could not get into it. There are some issues and details in this story that I could have done without reading. (Too many pregnancy details for example) I know I am a sensitive reader, so not everyone will have problems with the graphic details.
Parental Guidance: This book deals with pregnancy outside of marriage, sex, and violence.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
