User reviews
There is a mutual attraction between a certain Rev. Clay Cole and Jessica but Clay Cole does not trust a beautiful face. I did not like Clay very much. For a preacher I thought he was too judgemental and self-righteous. Not matter how much Jessica changed nothing was good enough for him. He even gave up on praying for her salvation! Good thing God did not give up on Jessica. I thought she deserved a better man than Reverend Clay Cole
The Hearts Answers was a good book. It is a Christian romance novel and a nice change of a pace for me (gives me a break from mysteries and thrillers). It is well-written, good pace (making it easy to read), and interesting characters. I found the novel to contain a good moral or life lesson (about trusting in God and His plan for our lives, faith, love, and forgiveness). This is the third book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone novel. Each book in the series tells the story of a different woman and their life in Wyoming Territory. I was interested to see what would happen to Jessica and the author did not disappoint me. I give The Heart Answers 4 out of 5 stars. The story has its expected outcome, but that did not diminish my enjoyment of the story (who doesn’t love a good ending).
I received a complimentary copy of The Heart Answers from NetGalley in exchange for an honest evaluation of the novel.
