Such a sweet page-turner! This story showed the power of truth, faith, and redemption. Jill’s innocence never kept her from questioning Slade’s motives yet she was drawn to him. I loved Slade’s honesty despite being an outlaw. It was also nice to have a brief look at familiar characters from a previous series. I recommend this story and look forward to the next in this series.
