I greatly enjoyed this book. Some of the Love Inspirations you know exactly what is going to happen in the end but this one keeps you guessing a little.

This was a really good book! A Christian romance with a little suspense in the story too. A little different from the regular Love Inspired books.

This is the 4th book in a current series of 7. It is a Rosewood, Texas novel. As with the other books in the series, the story revolves around one man and one woman. There is a little bit of mystery though in this novel along with the requisite love story.

This story was about a woman who was an Assistant D.A. and was targeted by an angry relative of someone she helped convict. She had to go into the witness protection program, therefore changing her name, her looks, where she lived, her career, everything. She was really lonely and tried not to get too close to people, but she met someone and fell in love with him anyway. Then the angry relative found her by accident and she was in danger again. I really liked this book.

A moving story of Emma Perry's new start on life in the small town of Rosewood, Texas. An enjoyable read that reinforces the idea that a caring community can make all the difference in one person's life.

Her world shattered by tragedy, Emma Perry thought she'd never survive the murder of her husband and child, let alone regain her faith and ability to trust. But the Witness Security program took her to Rosewood, Texas, where a caring community and belief in God gave her the strength to rebuild her life. And the compassion to reach out to others-wounded souls like Seth McAllister, Emma's embittered neighbor, who was struggling with the death of his own child. Together, Seth and Emma began to open their hearts to love. But when the still-obsessed killer picked up Emma's trial, would Seth's prayers be enough to pull them through?

Emma Perry's life was turned right upside down in an instant when her late husband and child were both killed in a housefire. She never thought she would survive the tragedy of it all, much less be able to trust anyone again. The Witness Protection Program took her into a new area, Rosewood Texas to start anew. But she must never reveal anything about her past to anyone.

Emma started making new friends and opened a shop, Try It On, which became successful. In fact, it needed more growing space finally, and this is where Seth comes into the picture. He is her next door neighbor, and also a designer/contractor. Emma seeks his advice reluctantly on building on to her shop, and it is then that the two of them might become more than friends. But Seth is struggling with his own pain from the loss of his son years ago from cancer, and has not been able to deal with his pain anymore then Emma.

When Toby comes along, who is a kid without a home, he tugs at both their heartstrings. Seth especially, feels connected to the boy, and as the story develops, new relationships will form and become stronger. Especially when another unexpected event takes place.
