How will he prove his innocence and convince Elyse to forgive him?
Elyse has nowhere to turn and believes the Almighty has forsaken her. As her life unravels, a new foundation and path are laid before her if she has the courage to forgive and cling to a forgotten faith.
This story had me from the beginning. Everything was so well detailed you felt as if you were part of the story. There were moments that surprised me and moments that brought tears. Very well done! Highly recommend!
It could have been high bliss if not for all the past hurts and confrontations. Elyse's & Preston's pasts need much forgiveness & trust. Greed is at work in the unseen background for Elyse. Don't stop reading because the end is a dynamic mix of upper class, suspense, and even murder. Jennifer Hudson Taylor is anything but predictable. A seasoned author of spellbinding historic tales.
Jennifer Hudson Taylor, once again crafts a story that pierces the heart. Her characters capture the culture of the period making the reader feel a part of the story. The problems and secrets of the hero and heroine are relatable for the modern reader, yet, stay true to the early 1800s setting. Couldn't put it down until I got to the end.
I have enjoyed all of Jennifer Taylor's books, but this is one of my favorites. She keeps the story moving and interesting the whole time. Loved the characters of Preston and Elyse and Kent! Great book!
