In Firefly Valley (Texas Crossroads #2) by Amanda Cabot

I enjoyed this story about Marisa and her adventure with moving back to her hometown in Texas. I loved her friendships with those around her and how kind and genuine she was.

I could sympathize how hard and how emotional it was for her to forgive and truly move forward with someone who had betrayed her trust. It is very hard to trust and forgive people who struggle with addictions. You try to protect your heart from getting hurt and disappointed again, but only God can change a person and help you heal.

I really liked her friendship with Blake and his journey about trying to get past his writer’s block. I loved getting to know his personal story and family dynamics as well. I loved hearing about his writing and the books that he writes.

This was a great christian romance with elements of forgiveness, God’s love and trust. I haven’t read book 1, so I would consider this a stand alone book that can be read separately and not part of a series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Books, a division of of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

Book Description:

The only silver lining: Blake Kendall, a new guest who might make her believe in love at first sight.
