Publisher's summary

Everyone knows former bad girl Jade and local pastor Dan don’t belong together. But when what they know and what they feel are two different things, can they trust God to give them a second chance?

When Jade agrees to return to Hope Springs for the summer, it’s with the hope that she might finally be able to escape her reputation. The list of mistakes she’s made would stretch all the way from Hope Springs to California and back. And at the top of the list: leaving town without so much as a word of explanation to Dan, the only man she’s ever truly loved. It was for his own good, but that doesn’t mean he’s any more likely to forgive her.

The moment Jade comes waltzing back into town, Dan knows he needs to be careful. Newly appointed as head pastor of Hope Church to replace his retired father, he is under pressure to prove he’s up to the task. Dating the town’s former bad girl wouldn’t exactly make the best impression. And anyway, he doesn’t relish the thought of getting his heart broken by her again. But hard as he tries, Dan can’t deny that he still has feelings for her—and they’re growing stronger by the day.

When Jade learns a secret that could destroy both of their reputations, her first instinct is to push Dan away again. But this time, he has to be the one to decide: let her walk away, or trust God to give them a second chance?

Enjoyed the storyline

I enjoyed the storyline a lot. The narration fell short, it seemed to lack emotion, not surprising, I guess, since it wasn't a human.

Good story

Lacked emotion. Very hard to get through with AI narration. Won't be listening to any more if it has virtual voice

Virtual audio is not a bonus

I don’t like the virtual reader- no personality or inflection. The story was ok but became very bland because of the reader.

Love This Story of Forgiveness & Second Chances

Valerie Bodden is one of my very favorite authors and she never disappoints! This is a heart wrenching and heart warming story of brokenness and forgiveness- and the depth of committed love!

The virtual narration was better than I feared, with the main complaint being that Dan’s voice was completely feminine so sometimes it was hard to figure out who was talking in the story. It is a slightly robotic, but surprisingly warm voice.

The story of redemption and forgiveness and that we are all sinners.

I loved the story very much. Love this writer.

Was not thrilled with the virtual voice. It was distracting off and on throughout.
