This was my first time reading anything by Faith Gibson and I thoroughly enjoyed this touching story. Faith Gibson has given us a story that just sucks you in and will keep you there from start to finish and then will leave you wanting more from this author. This is an M/M romance story that is steamy and hot and is as sweet as honey ,and it will leave you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next with this pair. This is Cade Anderson and Malcolm Wilson's romance story. Cade has been a drummer for fifteen years for 7'S Mistress and has been in love with the lead singer ,and is heart broken when the band breaks up and the lead singer moves on to someone else . The damage to the friendship is done, and there's not enough alcohol or one night stands to mend his heart . That is until he meets the hot and steamy Malcolm "Mal" Wilson ,Mal works at a bar serving drinks and he hides his true self from everyone in town, because he has suffered enough because of small minded people , and he doesn't want to hurt his mamma . He's one big hearted cowboy who loves only one woman and that is his mamma. But Mal is such a good man he works hard and he loves his mama, and his dogs. But Mal life seems to be unraveling just like Cade life is. But what will happen when the sexy drummer and the dreamy cowboy spends the night of passion together ? Would this be enough for them both, or will coming from different worlds push them apart. And can Cade ever be happy in Mal world, and will their feelings for each other bring them in the right direction of each other. I found the build up of their relationship was so well written and the characters were strong and amazing and very loving with all that together make this story flow smoothly. I could go on and tell you more about this touching story but that would spoil it for you. I highly recommend that you read this story, you won't be disappointed I wasn't .

Through pain they are healed. A beautifully written story of tremendous loss and the hard road to healing that leads to a second chance at love for four people. One has lost his everything, his entire family, the other three lost the foundation of their family, the man of the house. But a chance meeting years later slowly begins the healing that they all need, and that two deserve.

The characters are well written and well defined. The lead male, Alexander is handsome but scarred, tortured and immensely grief and guilt ridden. The pain of his loss torments him and the scars he bears have led into reclusiveness. Gwen is sweet, gentle, beautiful and has suffered a loss of her own, but she also has two small children, one of which carries the pain of her loss very heavily and does not talk, until at night when she slips from her bed and whispers her prayer.

The healing slowly begins with a rescue and days spent together between the little family and Alexander. Slowly they begin to crawl into each other's hearts, but it's a scary thing and one that Alexander fights as best he can, only to return again and then push them away. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes it's a whispered prayer that starts that healing.

Beautifully written story and I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

When I found this book I had heart pain because of my ex-girlfriend. By reading some chapters I noticed that this was something I could use in life. It's not for everybody. That's my opinion. I love it!

This is the deepest book on internal pain and healing. Jesus said He would heal the heart as well as the body. He does!

Hearts become broken. Real life is real hard and in the course of loving and opening our hearts to others, somewhere sometimes, our hearts can become broken.

With the compassion and care that only someone who lives with a once broken but now mended heart can extend, in her book "The Mended Heart" author Suzanne Eller reveals through practical Biblical application how God can heal our broken places.

The stories retold chapter after chapter are of everyday real life, real broken and real mended hearts. No matter how you arrived at your brokenness, this book is for you. I can say that with confidence because this book was for me also.

.If you are living with the hurt of a broken heart, there is hope, your heart can be restored -- and made stronger.

Healed By Love is an appropriately titled book. Love can bring people together in a time of need. It can also help a person move on from their inner demons.

Melissa Foster did a wonderful job presenting how love can help heal in this story. The main characters, Jewel and Nate, can help each other grow and continue living life after the hardships they've both faced. As long as they don't place blame on each other or themselves for things that happened in the passed, Nate and Jewel can be healed by love.

Melissa made the characters come alive in her story. I ached with Jewel over the loss of her father and brother. I know what it's like to lose family and wanting to bottle up the remaining ones and keep them safe. Jewel has spent the past few years trying to be a big sister, a step-in parent, and her siblings' protector that it leaves no time for Jewel to just live for Jewel. Her demons happened to be the fear that's inside her, only Nate can make her realize that. Nate has been in the war. He may have come back alive, but he was still wounded by what happened during the war. Nate holds a deep secret that's eating him alive. Telling Jewel could either ease the pain or cause him to lose her for good.

Even the secondary characters were wonderfully portrayed. Each one had a personality that stood out. The Bradens are a wonderful and amusing family to read about.

This story certainly put a few tears in my eyes when the characters were struggling with their losses, yet it brought a smile to my face with their love.

I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.

Yellow Tulips on a Cloudy Day is a must take your time to read book. It will help heal your heart by taking you on a walk through all the emotions of a turmeric issue.  Christy Sims writes, "Some books are so heavy and enlightening that you have to read them again as you grow and gain more understanding and life experiences..." as she spoke about some books that changed her life.  I believe that this book belongs in that category too.  I healed more from her story, life skills points, and showing how not to be afraid to advocate for yourself, forgive, and finding joy in small things.  This is truly ' a survivor's journal', but one I will cherish.  As I read I made notes and did a self examination to help me heal.  I recommend to anyone that has an opportunity  to hear her speak in person go, but make time to read this book.  You will be blessed.

A broken heart is something most of us go through at some time or another. It does really hurt. Unfortunately, it does make some people bitter for a long time, if not the rest of their life. This story starts from this basic truth. Fortunately, people can face their problems, survive, and even reach their Happily Ever After. This story does a good job showing that journey. This story is a good romantic change of pace and I recommend it.

This story, as the title suggests, is about healing. It deals with the subject of grief, telling the story of Len and new love Chris. Len is getting over losing Cliff after 20 years together and worries that he is moving on too quickly. It is a special story as it focuses on love the second time around and love between older couples, with Len and Chris being near 50.

The only thing I found strange was the riding lesson that Len was giving Chris. He instructs him to mount the horse from the left hand side as you're facing the horse. "Put your right foot in the stirrup, and swing you left leg over his back". I might not be a country girl but have ridden before and always mounted from the horse's left side, placing left foot in the stirrup first. Maybe we just do things differently in Australia?

A sweet reconciliation romance of two people who loved and lost because of a traumatic death of their child.  The two separated then 5 years later are reunited and try to find forgiveness in their hearts. The message here in this story is forgiveness for things that can not be changed and the courage to give life another chance.

This story picks up right where Heart of Stone left off and Krystina has left Alex after her past resurfaced.  Alex is devastated without her and is not about to just let her leave his life but he knows that she needs time even though it rebels against the Dom in him.

Krystina is lost with Alex but after her last relationship she is scared of the hurt that Alex could inflict especially with his strong personality.  When he approaches her and shares his past with her she believes that she is ready to move forward with him as they have show the ultimate trust in each other.  But how long will it last when their pasts come calling?

Alex and Krystina are both damaged by their pasts but the depth of their feelings can heal each other but first they must be willing to open up their hearts to what they could have.  This is a wonderful story full of romance, heat and healing.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader's copy of this book
