 About the book: When Laney Carrigan's adoptive parents encourage her as an adult to seek out her birth family, her only clue is the Lokelani quilt in which she was found wrapped as an infant. Centering her search on the Big Island, she battles fears of rejection from a family that abandoned her once before while her faith struggles to embrace God's love.
Along the path to her true heritage, she meets Hawaiian cowboy/helicopter pilot, Kai Barnes. Kai is determined to protect the people he's come to regard as family against a woman he suspects of being nothing more than a gold-digger, but he finds himself drawn to Laney in spite of his reservations. He's spent his entire life seeking forgiveness from past mistakes and longs for a second chance at happiness.
Laney's painstaking journey to find restoration and a place to belong among the breathtaking allure of the Big Island will lead her closer to her past and maybe even something more.

My Take: I have been really enjoying the Quilts of Love series. Even though the books are not related it is interesting to see how each author fits a quilt into the story line. My mother is a quilter and I enjoy reading about the various quilts.
The story in this book is a sad one in many respects when it comes to the main characters as they each have been hurt in the past and are afraid to let others in because of feeling that they may be hurt again. I like reading about Hawaii as I have always wanted to visit there. I like that these aren't just cookie cutter characters and you can't predict what will happen next. An enjoyable book that had me wanting to read more by this author.
I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.

Synopsis for Carolina Reckoning by Lisa Carter
Synopsis for
Carolina
Reckoning
By Lisa Carter
Alison
wanted her cheating husband gone, not dead...
When 30-something housewife, Alison Monaghan discovers proof
of her husband's infidelity in a photograph with a mysterious woman, she must
decide how to confront Frank when he returns home from work. Despite the
influence of her best friend Valerie, a strong Christian, Alison remains aloof
from God and is determined to handle this crisis her own way. But Alison may
not get that chance.
Frank never makes it home. Soon his body is found on a
lonely back-country road in antebellum Weathersby Historic Park where Frank
served on the board of directors and where Alison, with a degree in landscape
design, was a volunteer garden docent. Homicide detective Mike Barefoot, a
Cherokee native from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, immediately
puts Alison at the top of his suspect list. He finds himself drawn to her--and
not just because she had motive for the crime. As an army veteran, Mike usually
keeps his emotional walls high. And as a detective, he knows not to get
involved with murder suspects. So why he is so attracted to Alison? Can he
fight his feelings for her—and the stirrings in his heart toward God?
