You're the Reason (Home to Heritage Book 1) by Tari Faris & Susan May Warren

You're the Reason (Home to Heritage Book 1)
ABOUT THE BOOK

How could she ever love the man blamed for her brother’s death? A novel of Redemption, Forgiveness, and Unrequited Love in this Home to Heritage novel.

"Tari Faris delivers a masterful blend of romance and redemption in this compelling tale that will tug at your heartstrings and inspire your soul. A must-read for anyone who believes in the power of second chances." USA Today best-selling author Susan May Warren

She never intended to return to Heritage.

When an injury sidelines her, Grace Howell leaves her life as a ballerina and returns to Heritage, Michigan, to heal. Teaching dance is just a temporary gig, until she finds herself unexpectedly charmed by small-town life and her growing attachment to Seth Warner, a man from her past with a troubled history of his own.

He’s back in Heritage as a changed man.

The last place Seth thought he’d return is Heritage, but a felony record has narrowed his options, compelling him back to a community that hasn’t forgotten his transgressions. Dreams of starting a Ninja Gym give him purpose, yet it’s his entanglement with Grace—the woman he once let slip away—that ignites his desire to stay. Is this his chance at redemption and to live out the love he’s always harbored?

But can they forget the past?

When Grace’s old ballet company offers her a chance to come back, she’s faced with a heart-wrenching pursue the dream she’s always known or stay with the community and man that have captured her heart, even as that love is put to the test.

But has Seth really changed?

Seth’s world is rocked by a confrontation that threatens to pull him back into the world he’s tried so hard to escape. He must fight to clear his name and protect his future with Grace, proving that his commitment to change is more than just talk.
With their happiness hanging by a thread, the decisions they make will define their fates and the heart of Heritage itself.



MY THOUGHTS.....

Heritage, Michigan is the setting of this lovely story that's filled with forgiveness, redemption, and second chances. Seth and Grace each left Heritage as teenagers but they're both back, emotional baggage and all. Seth's struggles are real but he's determined to prove his self-worth, and Grace must decide if her parents' dreams for her future are truly what she wants. Can they overcome their pasts, find new purposes, and build a future in this very special place?

I love it when bad choices from our past become the stepping stones to a brighter tomorrow. Authors Tari Faris and Susan May Warren perfectly illustrate this in their story of reconciliations and restoration! Are you needing to be swept away to a place of hope and healing? Heritage is certainly the place!

You're the Reason is a delightful contemporary romance with memorable characters, a lovely setting, and an inspiring faith message. I highly recommend it to all who enjoy Christian romance!

I received a complimentary copy from the authors and Sunrise Publishing. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I have been writing fiction for more than twelve years. It has been an exciting journey for this math-loving-dyslexic girl. I had read less than a handful of novels by the time I graduated from college and I thought I would end up in the field of science or math. But God had other plans and I wouldn't trade this journey for anything. As someone told me once, God's plans may not be easy, and they may not always make sense but they are never boring.

In addition to my writing, I also work for My Book Therapy as a special project project manager and blog coordinator for LearnHowToWriteAnNovel.com and you can find me blogging over there on occasion.

​When I am not writing or working, I spend time with my amazing husband. We have been married for fifteen wonderful years and have three sweet children. In my free time, I love coffee, rock hounding with my husband and kids, and distracting myself from housework.
