Customer Reviews

I enjoyed this book.

Stranger Within the Gates is a good book with a surprise ending. I enjoyed it but it's not my most favorite GLH book.

Not really a romance!

I agree this is a little atypical for Grace, but thats not a bad thing! It is the story of a young man away at college, I believe his first year, who gets involved with a young woman who because of his naievete reels him in! He marries her to protect her not realizing that he is the one in need of protection. When he takes her home to the family he begins to see how his actions although well intentioned affect everyone. I liked this book!
