I recently did a Hosea Bible study with some ladies. Afterwards we decided to read this book together as well. (If you’re unaware, this book follows the book of Hosea)
Gut wrenching and hard to read at times… but also an incredible story of God’s everlasting love for us.

Beautifully written book! I don't even have words for it. I just loved it! It was such a sweet picture of God's love for us and how He takes us back again and again and pursues us no matter what horrible things we've done. Again, I'm lacking words for a good description of this book. I have been wanting to read this one for years, and I finally saw it available on my library's audiobook app. I decided to go ahead and listen to it. It was a great listen! This book is for those who enjoy romance, a fast paced plot, and lots of interpersonal drama. I grew to love the characters and cried with them during heartache and rejoiced with them during reconciliation and joy. It is such a story of hope among tragedy and of unconditional love.

Very interesting. If you are looking for a book to relate to the Bible this one is for you. Tells the biblical story of Hosea but in a way that someone to understand.

August 2021 5 Star Review
This was an incredible read. I loved it, even more, the second time around. I thought the story was beautifully written. It shows how redemption can come when you have faith in God, and how love is powerful. I love the story, and how Christianity was part of the story. The characters were beautiful and interesting. The romance was perfect, and I loved the characters as they portrayed their emotional and heartbreaking romance. The ending was amazing. Overall, an amazing read.

May 2015 5 Star Review
This was my first Christian Fiction/Romance. It did not disappoint. The romance was emotional and heartbreaking. The characters were beautifully written. Patience, kind, loving hero named Michael Hosea. Tragically broken, but lovable heroine named Angel

Spoiler

Her real name is Sarah, though

. The plot centers largely on redemption, faith, and the healing power of love. I thought the way that

Spoiler

the angel and devil were talking to Michael and Angel was beautiful

. Beautiful story. Definitely a re-read.

I devoured this book over a winter break I spent at a friends house a few years ago.
