Love at first sight

Joe Brewer is a horse trainer who is forced into taking over a rundown ranch that his brother inherited from their deadbeat father. He keeps his life as simple as possible and fends off attracted Christian women who are attracted only to his looks. Joe later meets Rebecca Stevenson at his bank; she's related to the bankers who are negotiating a loan for his ranch and she's also recuperating physically and emotionally from an accident that's left her with a slight handicap. She is everything Joe isn't: wealthy, polished, and professional. One of the better scenes in the book involves both Joe and Rebecca standing up to her family, particularly Joe's dealing with her status-symbol-obsessed sister, Jenna (who really needs to re-read 1 Timothy 6:9,10) and her parents, who assume that Rebecca can't handle living on less. For a Christian, wealth isn't necessarily bad. Jesus stated that it would be easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom, meaning that most wealthy people want only to keep their wealth and obtain more; they don't see the true value in spiritual things (Matthew 6:33). Money isn't the root of all evil; the love of money is.

Loved It!

This was the first book I read from Carolyne Aarsen. I could not put this book down. Joe and Rebecca are complete opposites and by the worlds standards, they should be all wrong for eachother. It is a heartwarming story of the emotions that are involved with falling in love. I found this book to be better than a good movie!

My FAVE!

I absolutely love this book! It was the first love inspired book I'd ever read and I've read many others since. Out of all the love inspired books I've read, this one is my favorite! I completely recommend this book to everyone!

believable emotions and dialogue

The conflicts in this story do not distract from the heartwarming attraction between Joe and Rebecca. The story rings true and is filled with tender moments. A truly satisfying read.

Good read

Really enjoyed this book. It's nice to read a romance book without alot of fluff to full up the pages.
