Lightning and Lace by DiAnn Mills

From Amazon:

Bonnie Kahler, immersed in grief since losing her husband, attempts to rise from the ashes of mourning. Will love and faith give her the power to conquer the demons within and evils without? In an attempt to outrun his past, Preacher Travis Whitworth arrives in Kahlerville, incognito. When he stumbles across a dead body, suspicion falls on his shoulders. Is Travis in too deep to win Bonnie's love? As Bonnie finds herself drawn to Travis, her life and heart are threatened. When secrets unravel, will she be strong enough to face the twisted truth?

DiAnn Mills’ third installment in the Texas Legacy series doesn’t disappoint. I have not yet read the first two books in this trilogy, but enough backstory is given that I am not lost. I do, however, intend to go back and read them.

DiAnn Mills’ prose is engaging and her style never becomes didactic. She is a terrific storyteller and draws her readers into the story.

I found myself wrapped up in the story. What would happen to Bonnie and her children? Would Zach reform into the young man his father would be proud of? And what about the new “pastor with a past,” Travis Whitworth?

These burning questions—and more—are answered to the reader’s complete satisfaction in a happy ending sure to please the most romantic heart.
