Excerpt
Description:
Alice Chesterfield is a woman pursued. Having survived an attack that left her scarred and her father dead, she is never free from the fear and memories of the man who is responsible.



Texas seems to be an answer to Alice’s prayers, and when she has the opportunity to relocate to a ranch near Dallas, Robert Barnett captures her attention. Unlike any man Alice has ever known, Robert doesn’t worry about the obstacles that stand in their way–and he hardly seems to notice the scar she bears.



But there are storm clouds gathering; devastating information about her family comes to light, threatening Alice’s peaceful sanctuary. Disillusioned, Alice must learn to place her trust in God as she seeks a measure of peace for her future…and for her heart.
My Rating: ✰✰✰✰ (4 out of 5 stars)

 My Thoughts:

Alice Chesterfield was left alone when an attack left her father dead and her face scarred. She lives in fear that the man responsible will return and harm her and those she has come to care for–Jake and Marty Wythe. When the Wythe’s decide to return to their home in Texas due to a depression, Alice joins them in the hope that she can leave her past behind. Alice soon finds herself attracted to Marty’s handsome and kind nephew, Robert Barnett. Will Alice make peace with her past in order to embrace a beautiful future? A future that could involve Robert?

Tracie Peterson is one of my favorite authors for three main reasons. 1) She creates these amazing, real characters you can immediately relate and sympathize with. 2) Her stories are always fast paced and not for a second boring. 3) Whether joy, anger, sadness, glee, or laughter…she has the ability to make her readers feel. I’ve never read a Tracie Peterson book that I didn’t like, and A Moment in Time was no exception.

Alice was kind, heartfelt, giving, and completely unaware of her own beauty. Robert was a tad annoying at times, but still somehow lovable, funny, and kind. I immediately connected with the characters, but especially with Alice and Marty. They both had deep set fears that stemmed from loss and betrayal, but had a solid, growing relationship with God. A lot of this story was about faith and I really appreciated the little gems it contained. It was also slightly suspenseful at times, just enough to keep you excited.

Tracie Peterson has done it again with her latest addition to this beautiful series. If you enjoy historical fiction, then I recommend you read the Lone Star Brides series asap! It was heartfelt, relatable, fast paced, and compelling. Now the only question I have is when is book three coming out?

**I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishing in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are completely my own.
Have you ever read a Tracie Peterson book? If so, what’s your favorite?

    Been curious about this series but I’ve found that I tend to prefer Tracie’s novels that she co-authors. Thanks for sharing about this one, Bekah! I’ll be on the lookout for it. 🙂

      Agreed, the series she co-authored with Judith Miller are among my favorite (e.g. Bells of Lowell, Broadmoor Legacy, etc.). I really just love all her books, though! I especially appreciated this series because I love westerns. 🙂

      Thanks for commenting, as always. 🙂
