Synopsis:
Forgiveness is the only cure for heartbreak. But can Penny forgive the man she holds responsible for her brother’s death?
When
her mother died from pneumonia, Penny Cartwright was heartbroken. But now,
after burying her younger brother just 12 years later, she is devastated.
Anger, guilt, and sorrow cloud Penny’s mind, and the last thing she wants is to
be reminded of her pain—but that’s exactly what happens when a stranger comes
to town.
Trevor
Reynolds has been chasing fame for more than a dozen years, but his musical
career can’t get off the ground. While on the road, an accident kills his young
drummer, Brad Cartwright. Trevor wasn’t behind the wheel, but he still blames
himself… and so does Brad’s sister, Penny. Now Trevor finds himself in Kings
Meadow, determined to follow through on his final promise to his friend.
Still feeling the pain of Brad’s death, Penny and Trevor must
learn that forgiveness is the only thing that can heal their hearts. And if
they do, something beautiful may rise from the ashes of heartbreak.

My Thoughts:
In Robin Lee Hatcher’s newest contemporary romance and
addition to her widely popular King Meadows series, Keeper of the Stars, I believe it will satisfy every fan of romance
books. Breaking through the ashes of disappointments and hurt, Penny Cartwright
learns to find forgiveness and love. On the other hand, Trever Reynolds comes
to King Meadow after making a promise to Brad, Penny’s deceased brother, and
learns to let go of his past anger and follow completely after God. Using
plenty of descriptive images, King Meadows, Idaho came to life in my
imagination filled with a surrounding cast of characters who show the good side
to a close-knit community. I really enjoyed watching Penny and Trevor mature as
they slid off the past anger and allow love to thaw even their darken hearts.
Using the right amount of dialogue and prose, I felt like I was walking along
Penny and Trevor as they traveled through this difficult time in their life. I
enjoyed seeing their path to transformation. Some of my favorite stories have
the characters doing a complete 180 when it comes to their viewpoint on life,
and Hatcher does exactly that. She isn’t afraid to dig deep and show the dark
side of the human soul. I, also, truly enjoyed how Hatcher allowed the
characters to question God, which reminds me of what I do. I may believe in God
and study his Word every day, but there are still moments of asking him why?
True to the contemporary romance genre, Robin Lee Hatcher’s Keeper of the Stars will satisfy romance
fans and give them a joy ride as they travel the road of pain and forgiveness
to reach the happily-ever-after. I highly recommend this book for fans of Becky
Wade, Melissa Tagg, and Beth K. Vogt.
I received a complimentary copy of Keeper of the Stars from Thomas Nelson publishing and the opinions
stated are all my own.
