When He Found Me (Road to Refuge Book 1) by Victoria Bylin -- Reviewer Tour

About the Book

Love Discovered . . . Hope Renewed

Once a strong Christian, third baseman Shane Riley lost his faith the night he injured his knee in a freak car accident. Determined to return to professional baseball and to find the sister he treated badly, Shane retreats to Refuge, Wyoming. There he meets Melissa June “MJ” Townsend, a single mom battling the virus that causes cervical cancer. 

MJ wants nothing to do with the handsome athlete—no doubt a womanizer considering the stories in the news. But when a mistake results in Shane renting her garage apartment, they become friends. That friendship blossoms into something deep and pure, leaving MJ with a painful secret to tell. Even more complicated, she discovers an unexpected tie to Shane’s missing sister—a wounded woman who wants nothing to do with the perfect brother who scorned her.

Review

Victoria Bylin’s When He Found Me is a powerful and emotional read that will hit readers square in the chest.  Throughout the story, perspective alternates between of several different characters, mostly women.  This is a story about hardship, heartbreak, personal struggle and growth, forgiveness, family, friendship, and love.  It’s filled with so many emotions that will leave readers grinning for one moment, takes them to angry in another moment, and brings them to tears in yet another moment.  This story is filled with sensitive and hard issues, but Bylin handles perfectly, as well as from a Christian perspective.  This story has mature content and would could be rated as PG-13 if it were made into a movie.  Readers will love this emotional rollercoaster of a ride in this beautiful women’s fiction story.
