Jules broke off her wedding to Cruz practically at the altar. Not just once, but twice. Now the man Jules loves best can't stand the sight of her. Only for Pop could Jules have made such a sacrifice. And now Pop is gone, leaving Jules with his struggling Washington State potato farm; with a sister excluded from his will; and with a heart wounded by the sacrifice she has made on behalf of her father. It looks like strengthening her relationship with her sister and improving the prospects of the Blue Bayou farm will be Jules' chief concerns. But when cancer takes the life of her best friend, Jules finds herself caring for her friend's two small children as well as the Blue Bayou. A drought-stricken farm. A promise to a dead friend and two needy little lives. And disturbing memories stirring up a growing relationship with her sister. How can one woman handle it all? The answer lies with a God who holds the keys to yesterday, today, and tomorrow and to the heart of the one man whom Jules could ever love."Cruz is a hardhead, but justified in his mistrust. Jules is easily influenced by others and afraid of commitment. Leaves room for a second book. This book was disappointing. I was hoping it would be a fun, good Christian romance book. And it was in its own way. The writing was decent, but not spectacular. The plot was pretty predictable. The only reason I listened to the whole thing was for something to listen to while I sewed and to find out how Jules and Cruz finally put aside their differences. Jules and Crystal are supposed to be upstanding Christian women, but they will do almost anything to get their man, including dressing immodestly. Being a Christian book, I expected there to be some Christian references, but even I, as a Christian felt like the author was trying too hard to make it sound Christian. Too many times, it sounded forced or insincere.
What do You think about A Man's Heart (2010)?
Nice, but predictable story. Lots about religion in this book. Good way to while away a few hours.

Just a simple peaceful read. Seems it's what I need right now to get to sleep!
