Amazing love by K. Dawn Byrd

Amazing Love

Blurb:

Gabe Knight is a respected preacher in a small coastal town. His life is turned upside down when Dee Dillow arrives and hires him to remodel an estate she's inherited from her aunt.      Dee dashes his plans for wedded bless when on a drunken binge, she divulges that she's the highest paid call girl in Nevada and part-owner of the ritziest brothel in the state.
Gabe falls in love with her, but can't believe he's hearing the voice of God when a still, small voice tells him to marry her. After much questioning, they marry and he is deliriously happy. Until, Dee betrays him. Over and over again
Gabe soon discovers just how hard it is to have the unconditional love God calls him to have for his wife, the kind of love God has for his children. He travels to the pits of sin in Nevada not once, but twice to save Dee from herself. When faced with losing her, Gabe realizes what true love is, how much it hurts, and just how much God loves and is willing to sacrifice for his children.


Review:

A modern day Hosea and Gomer story. Just the idea drew me in from the blub and once I started reading I had a hard task putting it down when Gabe, the most Godly man and preacher you could hope to find, falls for Dee, the highest paid call girl in Nevada.
An edgy story, at times hard to read, pulls no punches as it plunges you into the seedy world of prostitution, balanced with Gabe’s live as a preacher and his faith.
But through it all shines the message that no matter what we do, no matter how far we fall, God loves us and will forgive if only we ask.
