I thoroughly enjoyed (and stayed up too late reading) A Heart Redirected. I love the idea of a non-gay male wedding planner. Sean was very good at taking care of clients and reminding them of a Godly union. Larissa finally remembered that God had not forgotten her. The Peacock Hill venue sounded amazing. With a wonderful cast of characters and several plot twists, this Christian tale with its inspirational message will keep you turning the pages.
Another great Peacock Hill story
A male wedding planner?! I love how Sean was confident enough in his own skin that he was able to shrug off the insinuations made based on his choice of career. And I had fun reading about all the things that wedding planners do. I didn’t realize the extent to which they assist the couple getting married!
Lisette’s pain felt very real to me. And then as she began to look back, there were so many clues. It became clear that Tom was a self-centered so-and-so, even to her, and I loved watching her get her life back on track and have the courage to follow her dreams. And having the wisdom to see when a change in plans is not only okay, sometimes it is the best approach. She had a faith journey to travel before she was able to realize that God loved her and therefore she really was lovable.
I appreciate when authors aren’t afraid to tackle difficult subjects, even when they are uncomfortable. A secondary thread woven through this one had Sean contemplating how to handle a request that he coordinate a wedding between two men. Instead of simply writing it off and giving an immediate no, he prayed and conferred with his friend, Topher. The author addressed in a very considerate and Biblically sound manner. I don’t want to steal her thunder here so I’ll simply give her kudos for the way she had Sean handle the situation.
Those who have read previous Peacock Hill novels will be glad to follow the characters from these books as Sean and Lisette are added to their number. Those who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting the others can either start at the first book, A Heart Restored, or jump in with this one. Either way, you will not feel lost by not having the backstory, though once you’ve read this, you will probably want to go back to get to know the others better!

This is a cute romance about God’s love and forgiveness.
I loved the story and the compelling characters.
This book is recommended for those who love Christian romance with an inspirational message.
Sean is a wedding planner, he believes in God, he takes care to friends.
He has a big full businnes schedule: long term weddings, with much time to discuss all the details, a short term simple weddings, a 2 man wedding.
nice original story, realistic, funny, nice characters.
Sean is a amazing person. He is always making sure that the bride and groom are happy with his arrangements. Larissa is devastated after the way Tom treated her. The way the people at Peacock Hills are there to help her is truly amazing. The characters in this book are all very special people. This book is truly inspirational and hard to put down. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. You will feel God working throughout this wonderful book. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could.
