Synopsis:~
Love Discovered . . . Hope Renewed
Once a strong Christian, third baseman Shane Riley lost his faith the night he injured his knee in a freak car accident. Determined to return to professional baseball and to find the sister he treated badly, Shane retreats to Refuge, Wyoming. There he meets Melissa June “MJ” Townsend, a single mom battling the virus that causes cervical cancer.
MJ wants nothing to do with the handsome athlete—no doubt a womanizer considering the stories in the news. But when a mistake results in Shane renting her garage apartment, they become friends. That friendship blossoms into something deep and pure, leaving MJ with a painful secret to tell. Even more complicated, she discovers an unexpected tie to Shane’s missing sister—a wounded woman who wants nothing to do with the perfect brother who scorned her.
My take:~
Victoria Bylin is the poster girl for contemporary romance that deals authentically with the hard truths that come with relationships. I love her stories and When He Found Me packs a powerful punch as her characters tackle family dysfunction, career disappointment, while wrestling with guilt and shame over poor choices. While some readers will relate to the very circumstances MJ and Shane face, others of us will see our different circumstances mirrored in the courage, resolve, and faith that is required to keep moving forward and shape a new journey. I’m thrilled that When He Found Me is the first in Victoria’s Road to Refuge series.
I purchased my own copy for review.
