My review:
Old wounds run deep. Some spend their entire lives rehashing the past. Others live haunted by it, fearful of making another move. Then there are those who make peace with the past, learning to love again.
Lexi Taylor is a woman whose past has kept her from love. She works at Thursday’s Child, a nonprofit organization for youth which is on its last leg. To raise money for the youth center, she agrees to participate in an online dating auction. She’s disappointed when Cooper Jackson, an ex-NFL star and her ex-fiance, wins the auction.
Now that Lexi is stuck with Cooper, she tries to keep their relationship superficial. However, Lexi is about to discover she cannot keep past wounds and secrets buried for much longer. Cooper still loves her and he goes to great lengths to win her heart.
Tender Mercies takes the reader on a journey into the lives of imperfect people grappling with learning to trust those who have hurt them. It also deals with how fallen people learn to rethink their priorities, challenging the idea that money is more valuable than love.
Tender Mercies is a tale of love, forgiveness and sacrifice. Readers will find themselves engrossed in Tender Mercies from beginning to end, leaving them hopeful that true love can wait – again.
