Blurb:
Traci Stanton's dream is to own a cake
shop. The cramped kitchen at her Heart's Haven apartment isn't exactly an ideal
space for creating her masterpieces. Plus her new neighbor, Dylan, has become a
constant distraction with his DJ business and the ever-present explosion of
event music as he tweaks playlists.
Dylan Jones blew into Angel Falls like a
hurricane desperate to leave the memories of a mission gone awry. A former Navy
SEAL, he's got no desire to live with deadlines and boundaries or to take
orders from anyone--ever again. If only Traci would quit distracting him with
the aroma of her sweet confections and lilting voice singing hymns as she
works. Dylan has no place for the God who let him down and claimed the life of
his fellow SEALs.
Will Dylan ever leave the past--and his
anorexic faith--behind and allow God to calm the raging storm in his soul?
Review:
I could so relate to the way this story starts as it happens a lot in this house. Nice and quiet one minute and then BOOM. Traci and Dylan are total opposites, different tastes in music and cakes, And when disaster strikes right at the start, it seems as if they will never see eye to eye. This one kept me riveted to the pages, from one heart stopping moment to the next.
