A devastating argument
One reckless decision
An unforgivable sin 

Successful Manhattan businessman Richard Brooks is living the dream, drunk with success and all its trappings, until one reckless decision turns his dream life into a living nightmare. 

Richard flees to Minneapolis where he repairs ancient boilers instead of solving corporate problems, and he's determined to live the solitary life he now deserves. 

Executive Sheila Peterson has other plans for the handsome custodian. Richard appears to be the perfect match for the no-strings-attached romance she's after, but she soon discovers that he's hiding more than the designer clothes in his closet. 

Richard can't deny the allure of a relationship with Sheila. The closer they get, though, the greater the risk that she will discover not only who he used to be but also the unforgivable sin he committed that reckless night.

My Thoughts

This was a great story filled with very relatable characters. The author does a great job at showing their real struggles and feelings. She also does a great job at showing us who truly is control and how God is always there for us to provide us with the strength we need when we need it. You really will delve into this book and not want to let go. The topics are deep and truly cause you to think. The way she shows how one decision can cause a ripple effect on not only our life but the lives of others. Definitely makes you stop and think about your own life and the decisions we make that could affect others.

The story has some twists and turns and keeps you guessing but the themes of forgiveness are dominant in the story. Overall I thought this was a good story and if you enjoy stories with depth then you will definitely enjoy this one.

I received a copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
