Fiction Book Review: Trust My Heart by Carol J. Post

About the book: 
Grant McAllister arrives in Murphy, North Carolina, with one aim: to sell his inherited property and leave as quickly as possible.

The big-city lawyer has no interest in his late, estranged grandparents or the dilapidated mansion he just acquired. After his high-profile divorce, he should be avoiding perky reporters, too. But Jami Carlisle is honest, funny, and undeniably appealing.

After breaking up with her safe-but-smothering boyfriend, Jami is determined to ace her first big assignment. A story about the McAllister estate is too intriguing to ignore---much like its handsome, commitment-phobic heir. Thanks to her digging, the pieces of Grant's fraught family history are gradually fitting into place, but also upending all his old beliefs.

The two draw closer as they share their dreams, until misread signals and misunderstandings begin to test their trust. But in the unspoiled beauty of the Smoky Mountains, there's healing and forgiveness to be found. And for Grant, this unplanned detour may be just what's needed to finally guide him home...

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed Jami and Grant's story. The beginning seemed a little slow, but picked up about a fourth of the way in. I'm glad I stuck with it. The beauty of North Carolina shined through as the story developed. The small town setting was perfect. I liked Jami's character. She appeared to be care free, but in reality was quite responsible. I loved her walks in the woods and her connection to God through nature. Grant is a sweet man damaged by life. I appreciated his changes throughout the story. The theme of forgiveness, threaded through the story, was refreshing and insightful. If you enjoy a good romance featuring regular people, you'll like Trust my Heart. I received this book for free from Litfuse.

Post's résumé reads as if she hasn't yet decided what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love of writing.

Now she pens fun, fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense stories. Her books have been nominated for an RT Reviewers' Choice Best Book award and selected as an RT Top Pick. When Carol isn't writing, she enjoys sailing, hiking, camping---almost anything outdoors. She also plays the piano and sings with her music-minister husband. Their two grown daughters and their grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all her nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly spoiled dachshund.
