A Heart Redirected (Peacock Hill Romance, #4)

Another great Peacock Hill story

A male wedding planner?! I love how Sean was confident enough in his own skin that he was able to shrug off the insinuations made based on his choice of career. And I had fun reading about all the things that wedding planners do. I didn't realize the extent to which they assist the couple getting married!

Lisette's pain felt very real to me. And then as she began to look back, there were so many clues. It became clear that Tom was a self-centered so-and-so, even to her, and I loved watching her get her life back on track and have the courage to follow her dreams. And having the wisdom to see when a change in plans is not only okay, sometimes it is the best approach. She had a faith journey to travel before she was able to realize that God loved her and therefore she really was lovable.

I appreciate when authors aren't afraid to tackle difficult subjects, even when they are uncomfortable. A secondary thread woven through this one had Sean contemplating how to handle a request that he coordinate a wedding between two men. Instead of simply writing it off and giving an immediate no, he prayed and conferred with his friend, Topher. The author addressed in a very considerate and Biblically sound manner. I don't want to steal her thunder here so I'll simply give her kudos for the way she had Sean handle the situation.

Those who have read previous Peacock Hill novels will be glad to follow the characters from these books as Sean and Lisette are added to their number. Those who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting the others can either start at the first book, A Heart Restored, or jump in with this one. Either way, you will not feel lost by not having the backstory, though once you've read this, you will probably want to go back to get to know the others better!
