As Love Inspired romances go, this was a decent one. The two main characters are Honey Duer and Sawyer Kole. Sawyer struggles with feelings of inadequacy. He was told in childhood that he wasn't worth much and the foster system reinforced that. He's also fallen into the trap of not believing that God could love someone like him. He abruptly broke off a romance with Honey several years before thinking that he was saving her from a bad situation.

Honey's stuck in a rut of bitterness. Her older sister died as a result of a car accident (but not before she gave birth to a boy who's being raised by Honey's sister). Her mother died of cancer. And Sawyer ditched her for undisclosed reasons. She's built up a wall--a wall that her family has decided needs to be torn down. They arrange for Sawyer to return to the Coast Guard station.

The book did a fair job of showing how angry Honey was at Sawyer's return and how, over time, that changed. I'm sad that it took an almost tragedy for Honey to admit that she loved Sawyer. ( )
