I enjoyed this book but at the same time it was hard to get through. I enjoyed the overall story but I couldn't stand the dad or how the daughter allowed him to treat her that way. I also didn't like how she suddenly had the courage to stand up to him.

This was a really good read about how Kirk and Rosemary came together. There were plenty of steamy scenes, and I enjoyed every one of them! It's a good story. Rosemary's father has not forgiven her for her mother's fateful death. She lives in a tortured, angrished relationship with her father. Enter Irishman, Kirk who sweeps Rosemary off her feet, gives her hope again, and stirs up all sorts of conflict with Rosemary and her family. Kirk soon realizes he wants Rosemary, and is willing to change for her.
**SPOILER**
I must say that Kirk really made me mad...I almost threw the book across the room when he 'told' Rosemary that he can't stay - she has to come with him. I thought that was awfully creepy and insensitive of him. He must understand that family is important, and asking Rosemary to live in a trailer on the back of his truck and travel around the world is very selfish!!! With that said, I don't think Rosemary should have agreed to marry Kirk unless he was willing to compromise with her. In the end, he was willing to stay, BUT that still doesn't erase the fact that instead of easing her worries and agreeing to settle there while she tries to work out her differences with her family, he expects her to just...give up everything and throw caution into the wind...Sorry, but like Rosemary may never forgive Eric for killing her mother, I may never forgive Kirk for being such a jerk in this case!!!
But I did like the fact that her father went to stop him, and Kirk was going to turn the truck around and go into the church and drag her out...So, even though I'm left upset with Kirk for being a jerk, it's still a pretty good read...
The Wedding quilt part seemed a bit weak too. Would Rosemary really want the quilt that was made for her and Eric's wedding - the very quilt her mother died for? Wouldn't there be all sorts of bitterness and pain in that quilt? Was that REALLY an appropriate wedding gift for Rosemary and Kirk?
On Eric and Rosemary's friend: I see a sequel in that story. Their romance could be a story, and we can get a follow up of just what happened with Rosemary and her family. Did she and Kirk settle down or travel in his trailer? Did her father remarry? Was Eric finally able to come to terms with what he did and find happiness with _____? I SO wish we could have had a sequel to this story and read Eric's story (sigh) Oh well...

I enjoyed learning about steeple jacking. It was a talent I was not too familiar with. The relationship felt a little fast-paced, but I was rooting for the new couple the entire time so it didn't bother me. Even though it was infuriating, Ms. Worth kept me turning the pages to find out the complete story to what really happened to Rosemary's mother. I wanted to know everything faster than we learned it, but I understood the character was going through a lot and needed to work through her guilt and turmoil, and that is sometimes a slow process. Very inspiring...a story about the restoration of the body, mind, and soul.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I am a young woman of God, and I seek to keep my mind pure, all the while I am a total romantic. There are SOOO many books out there that seem it necessary to integrate premarital sex into just about every story. I'm not for that. And it is very possible to have captivating romance without all of the inappropriate sexual stuff. This book is not at all like that. It's romantically stimulating,innocent, and very engaging. I loved it :)

The professional fixing of a church steeple has parallels in rebuilding a life after tragedy strikes. I could identify with the main character who feels as if she doesn't deserve God's cleansing or God's love because of "what she'd done". It's a path I've walked recently.
