Book Summary
Falling in love with Daisy was easy for Jack. But finding the courage to tell her becomes problematic when his secret feelings lead to even bigger complications.
After two years of counseling sessions with Daisy Pendleton, Pastor Jack McReady has earned a permanent spot in her life as a spiritual leader—and nothing more. Jack would never risk losing her trust by exposing the depths of his heart, but he’s hopelessly in love with her.
Daisy loves her southern small-town life and her job at her family-run flower shop, but she doesn’t have the thing she longs for most: someone to share it with. Her recent foray into online dating has been a disaster—until she meets TJ.
Jack could kill his friend Noah for using his initials and some indistinct photos to set up a profile on the dating app Daisy is using. But when he’s finally afforded the opportunity to show her a different side of himself, he’s sucked into the plan before he has time for second thoughts.
Online, Daisy shares some of her greatest fears with TJ, but in person, Jack and Daisy are spending more time together. When a devastating family secret surfaces, Daisy knows that only her trusted friend and counselor can bring her comfort. Jack wants nothing more than to be both men for Daisy, but revealing his secret will prove to be the ultimate test of Daisy’s grace.
My Review
This is the third book in the Blue Ridge series and this is Jack and Daisy's story. Jack is a pastor and has no problem speaking in front of a crowd
or counseling one on one.
Asking a woman on a date he has admired for several years, not so easy. He is literally tongue tied.
When his friends encourage him to join a dating site he reluctantly does so and when he sees Daisy is on there he takes a chance .
He wants her to see him as a man not a pastor up on a pedestal. I can understand why he did it, it was a way to get to know her and her him as just a regular person but deception will not be your friend in the end!
I think I would have felt the same way as Daisy did when she finds out it was him. No one is worth putting on a pedestal, none of us deserve it.
We all are just humans, make mistakes and have our many faults. I loved that this took place in a small town and we get to revisit characters from past books in this series and that we are already familiar with Jack and Daisy from the previous book.
When secrets long buried see the light of day is forgiveness
possible and can hearts be mended? This is a beautifully written story, the author always takes us along on a ride of forgiveness and understanding.
