本書與這位作者的其他作品一樣，堪稱基督教心理學與靈修神學的經典著作。 作者不但引述歷代靈修大師的作品，也參酌醫治事工的實務經驗，幫助讀者認清屬靈問題的心理癥結和精神疾病的屬靈源頭。 書中針對屬靈爭戰的討論可謂引人入勝、扣人心弦，並且慧眼獨具地矯正了這方面普遍的缺失。

this was the third in this series, Kill short for Killian and he sounded hot! like the other brothers..I have to say I loved Dallas she was an awesome main character and honestly that is what I liked about the book everything she went thru and she was still funny and spicy (just like what Kill called her) Des had no reason to hate her but we have to remember what he also went thru as a kid and it wasn't that he wanted nothing to do with her I just think that mentally he wasn't prepared. It was good to read about the past characters, I was a little sad that Lila didn't get to develop such an awesome commoradary as Celia.… (mais)

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) I didn't realize until I was reading that this was a second book to the Brody brothers series, I guess I missed Ry and Celia's story, in this book it mentioned how they had gotten married. This was Fin's book along with his love interest Lilah. Lilah had been in love with Fin all of her life, she even admits to being his shadow. However on a night of passion where he takes her virginity she makes the mistake of telling him that she loves him and he broke her heart, badly. She vows to never be in that position again and never step foot in that ranch where they grew up. Lilah's mother is horrible all she does is put her down and tell her that she is not good enough of for Brody who she treats as royalty. With those doubts plus her horrid experience when Fin comes around trying to explain that he knew he screwed up but that he wanted a chance with her, she doesn't believe him and does not want to give him the chance of hurting her again, but this time Fin is determined.… (mais)

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW:

Raped. Tortured. Beaten. Essie Santiago’s life fell apart when she was sixteen, and it’s taken eight years to put it back together. There are some pieces that can never be mended; it would take a miracle for her to get pregnant, and physical closeness is something that makes her shudder. Only her love of creating beauty in the form of fashion gets her through the worst of the darkness.

When a mortar attack destroyed half his face and all of his life as he knew it, something vital died inside of former Marine, Ezekiel Steele. For years he’s felt nothing… until he sees Essie trying her best to be invisible. But the feisty spark inside the lovely fashion designer is too bright to be concealed, and like a moth to a flame, he’s helpless to resist her.

Chicago’s premiere tattoo studio, House Of Payne, is taking the world of fashion by storm, holding a contest to find the best designer the city has to offer. Competition is fierce, but all Essie can concentrate on are Steele’s dirty-talking lessons in sex. But when the student surpasses the master when it comes to love, Steele’s inner demons get the better of him. If he can't face them down, he’ll lose Essie forever.… (mais)
