"Mended Heart" Book Review



Mended Heart 

by Mary Manners


Book Description:

Jade McAllister returns home to Pineyville, Tennessee to help nurse her estranged mother back to health. She's grateful her friend found her a job as an assistant at Pineyville Church. That is, until she runs into Shane Calkin, the bad-boy-wannabe who broke her heart.

Shane is no longer the self-centered boy who hurt Jade. Now he wants is a second chance to love her, but how can he prove it?

 MY REVIEW:  Mary Manners never fails to leave my heart swooning and feeling such empathy for the characters.   Jade McAllister doesn't believe that Shane Calkin can truly have changed enough from their high-school days to be capable of serving as a youth director in a church.  Shane's heart is determined to win Jade's heart, but will she let him?  Will she allow forgiveness in her heart and believe in love?  
        This novel is sure to delight those who love to read Christian fiction.  Jade is a caregiver to her mother, the mother she has been estranged from and now she has to put all those emotions aside to do the right thing in honoring her parents.   Mary Manners is one of my favorite authors.  I usually enjoy romances that have mystery or suspense attached much more than "plain, old romances" in novels.   
        I just can't help but rate this novel 5 stars and I would highly recommend it to those who like to cuddle up with a Christian romance.  
        I received an ebook of this novel from netgalley and Pelican Book Group, White Rose Publishing.

Among her biggest concerns is the well-being of her dog, Chinook, as she is no longer able to keep up with the high-energy Siberian husky.
