| Sammie was stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. She was a captain in the Army. She joined an acting group in Tombstone and dressed as a saloon girl. She hoped she would get over her shyness and learn to flirt with guys. She met a “cowboy” whose name was Jimmy. Actually he was a counsellor and family therapist. He was a Christian; she was not. He got the wrong impression of Sammie’s personality when he first saw her. He didn’t know she was in the Army—that would have been a deal breaker because his father was military and he hated that life.
From their first meeting Jimmy was in trouble. He was immediately enthralled with Sammie. However, he knew what the Bible said about being “unequally yoked together” with an unbeliever. This started a collision course for their relationship which they battled throughout the book. Ms Michelle Sutton has written a wonderful poignant book about the connection of two people who faced problems and struggled daily to overcome them. It is unusual to read an inspirational story with true-to-life conflicts the characters have to face. This one was realistic. It delved into how they had to deal with their sensuality. I found this book so believable and didn’t want to put it down. Sutton explored her characters as they both wrestled with their emotional conflicts. She presented more in-depth studies of this couple than is usual. I felt as if I was living through this with them. There were several supporting individuals in the manuscript that played pivotal, although small, roles. I am excited that this is the first in a series. I cannot wait to read the others. This is another author I plan to put on my ‘must-read’ list. I highly recommend this book to others. It has a fabulous storyline and Sutton’s writing style is great. Kudos, Ms. Sutton!
