Winter's End


HERNE, RUTH LOGAN
WINTER'S END

After growing up in foster care, nurse Kayla Doherty's finally found a faith to rely on and a job she loves. But that's all put to the test when she's called to care for surly Marc DeHollander's dying father. Marc's struggling to keep his cattle farm afloat while dealing with his father's illness. He doesn't have time to fall for the beautiful hospice nurse. But as the frigid New York winter turns to spring, can he find a place for Kayla -- and the Lord -- in his heart?

LOVED THIS!!!!!!!! GREAT NEW AUTHOR. GOOD COMBINATION OF COMEDY AND DRAMA. BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS. ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENT STARTS FROM THE FIRST SENTENCE (AND INSTANT DISLIKE). SEAMLESS BLEND OF FAITH. KAYLA IS QUIRKY AND SPUNKY AND BELIEVABLEY FLAWED. MARC IS A CLASSIC BROODING HERO. SPARKS AND SIZZLE. EMOTIONAL SUBJECT UPLIFTS AND COMFORTS. INCREDIBLY WELL WRITTEN. FRESH DESCRIPTIONS.

  1. Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this lovely review! You rock, woman! And I'm so grateful for the shout out, that you took the time to do this for me and Winter's End...

    I love that story, the innocence of the protagonists, the way they represent so many messed up young adults today. And I totally love how things can turn around when you let God fill that God-sized hole within.

    Always a perfect fit! Even better than my new Dana Buckman shoes, LOL!!!

  2. I seriously, sometimes sit and remember that moment when Marc kissed Kayla for the first time. Very sweet and hot. Great moment in a book that had the weight and depth to be twice as long.
