The Pastor's Assignment (Heartsong Presents #641)

I read this book in one day.. I found it a sweet and interting story with a different twist. Laney is always trying to help others. In doing so she often ends up in some pretty sticky messes. Ty wants nothing more to be left alone in life. He has already been hurt once and he wont let himself fall in love again. No matter how sweet or wonderful he finds Laney. I enjoyed this book very much. It is a different kind of story plot. One that will keep you reading till the very last page. I will be looking for more books by this author.

Kim O'Brien, the author of Legal Weapon ('04) and The Christmas Key ('06) here tells us a captivating story of adventure, mystery and love, filled with robust humor and a strong sense of what matters in life. Ty Steele is a police detective whose hope and confidence in life have been undermined by the murder of his brother. Laney Varner, the owner of a slightly zany pet shop and the daughter of the county sheriff, feels her sense of self worth is constantly, if unintentionally, diminished by her family and fiance. As Ty and Laney, amid a series of humorous detours, carry out their "pastor's assignment," and try to revive their sense of personal self-worth, they find support in feelings and ideas that are increasingly unfamiliar in our society and fiction. Well done, Ms. O'Brien. BRAVA.
