Name: Ready to Trust
Rating: 4.50 (2 reviews)

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Prism Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Ready to Trust by Tina Radcliffe is about a father getting a chance for a relationship with his daughter and possibly a second chance with her mom.

Can Reece get Claire to stay in Rebel again? And maybe to trust him again?

Claire Bellard

Claire Bellard is a great character. In the fact that she has flaws like any other person and one of her significant flaws happens to be that Reece Rainbolt broke her heart six years ago and isn't quite over it. Claire is a fantastic mom, but I may disagree on letting Zoe believe in the tooth fairy. She is a strong force, and it's good to have daughters see that in their mom, especially during hard times in their lives. The two things that I dislike about her is of course, about the tooth fairy since if she doesn't believe in that, does she believe in Santa? The other thing I dislike about her is that she doesn't try to see that Reece is different. It's like she has wrapped her heart and Zoe's heart in a security blanket so that Reece can't get in.

Reece Rainbolt

Reece Rainbolt is an excellent character. We can see that he has changed from what he used to be, and he's a mature man that wants to have more in life. Granted, Reece probably didn't think he would be an instant daddy until he saw Zoe. I think one of the fantastic things to have helped this two heal is having Zoe as a buffer for them and seeing each other in a new light. Those shadows from six years ago are getting brighter. It's great to see how a child can do that, and it has helped Reece and Claire a lot. Reece is good for them both, and I couldn't find anything to dislike about him.

Four Stars

I am giving Ready to Trust by Tina Radcliffe four stars as it is a great book. I loved everything about it and laughed out loud at specific points. Ms. Radcliffe did a fantastic job on this novel. Zoe is such a character, and she will be a handful for her parents in her teen years. I am also recommending this book to anyone that reads inspirational clean, and wholesome romances. Or to ones that love to read romance novels!

Wonderful!

It’s so refreshing the way Tina Radcilffe integrates faith with everyday life so beautifully in this sweet romance.

In Ready to Trust, Claire has had her share of family difficulties. She has a hard time trusting people and a hard time trusting God. And because of this she’s a bit of a control freak. And of all people, she trusts Reese the least!

Reese had been quite a mess six years earlier. But he was a changed man – now if only Claire would believe him. I loved the way that in his struggle to do the right thing he still chose to do what was best instead of giving in to his natural reactions.

One of my favorite aspects of this story was the instant love Reese felt for Zoe. Their interactions and the sweet way he poured his heart out to this little girl was amazing! And though he had every right to be angry at Claire for not telling him five years ago that he had a daughter, he showed her so much kindness and grace instead.

I really enjoyed the imagery as well. I felt like I could see the orchards and the market stand. My favorite place was the creek he loved to go to for spending time dreaming. It sounds like the kind of place I would love to relax and read!

Ready to Trust is full of memorable characters, many of whom were introduced in Finding the Road Home. Willard was one of my favorite secondary characters here, full of wisdom and wit. He was so funny with the cow! I was glad Daisy had a prominent role again. What an amazing woman she was!

The Hearts of Oklahoma series is about the Rainbolt family. Though the family members are in each of these stories, the books do stand alone. I am excited to learn more about this family and can’t wait to see how Tucker overcomes his grief! I wonder if his story will be next…
