I like this book, I really do. Have I read another book by Karen Witemeyer? Okay I don't think I've read anything else by this woman, so this is my first book of hers. And I'm glad. because I liked this book. I said that already. 
 Eden was a good character, I loved the fact she was a librarian. That she had so many books she could open up a public library. I also liked the fact she wasn't a stagnate character. Her interactions with Levi and Chloe forced her to face her assumptions and to grow into a better person. Plus her relationship with Levi was so sweet. Speaking of I think my favorite part of the book was when Levi actually told her about his past himself. It's very rare for me to find read a story where the character is upfront about past mistakes. Usually they plan on telling their significant other but something always comes up and the other person finds out through someone else or in an over the top melodramatic manner. Okay not always melodramatic but close. Levi was an interesting character as well. He did his time and I'm glad he managed to let go of the guilt and focus on trying to create a new life with Eden. I'm also glad he kept his vow. No one would've blamed him for fighting, but he didn't break his vow. Which is excellent because breaking promises to God is not advisable. (view spoiler)[ plus it lead to a great scene where Eden went after the attacker with a baseball bat. Loved that scene. Sometimes you need to let a woman go and just get the job done. True partnership right there, what one can't do the other will and vice versa. (hide spoiler)] 
 Chloe was an excellent supporting character. so often I find myself not caring about the side characters even when I should, but Chloe was intriguing and I loved the fact she wasn't content to remain where she was and I enjoyed her introduction scene. I liked the fact the life she was living didn't dampen her spirit and I liked how Witemeyer handled her introduction and journey into faith. (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she got her happy ending with Duncan. (hide spoiler)] 
 The Sheriff though, he was a bit of a generic villain, particularly with the way he spoke to Eden and was so pushy. I kept waiting for him to twirl his mustache and go Muhahaha or something. (view spoiler)[ totally wasn't surprised when it turned out he was the one that tried to rape Chloe, was surprised that he brought in the brother of the man Levi killed. That was a good twist. (hide spoiler)] So overall the sheriff was a bit more two dimensional, but then I guess overall most of the characters were including the mains in some ways. 
 In conclusion, I really liked this book and would recommend you read it. 
 Hmm maybe I should start recommending borrowing books or just buying them. 
 Well if you've never read her before, I'd say borrow first since she may not be your cup or tea. Otherwise, go ahead and buy I think this is a good book to spend money on.
