Just saying “I do” was only the beginning for Alexia and Justin McNear. Now when their lives, loves, and faith are left in turmoil, they will have to fight even harder to heal themselves and their faith. Can two people already struggling help heal the communities they call home?

How do you rebuild after the loss of a child? After suffering a tragedy, are these two lost to each other forever?

With all the church’s money missing, the hunt for the tyrant will take Mark, an exminister, Justin, and his twin cousins away from their secluded, gated community and into the real world while leaving their wives behind to pick up the pieces. Can Justin survive it again?

Or will returning to the retreat that once abused him be his end?

Alexia, Madison, and Ginger will need to be strong and independent with their men gone. Left to raise their child alone, Alexia will make decisions that will affect their marriage and lives. Will they be the right ones?

Raised in a community where the men run everything, these three families will have to fight to survive the coming changes.

The temptations run high in this sequel to Mocked by Faith, but hope is not lost, and they will learn how to heal their faith.

Review by Jennifer

This was a sequel that I was anxiously awaiting. After reading Mocked by Fatih I had a new couple that I was rooting for, Alexia and Justin. This book was the continuation of their story. The way they came together in book one and the way the book ended I wanted a happy ending for them.

I have said it before and I have to say it again that Michele Richard can tell a story. One of the things I like about her storytelling is that she tells both sides of the story. The reader gets insight into both character’s thoughts and feelings. It makes the story that much more enjoyable.

At the beginning of this book the author spends the first few chapters with Alexia and Justin reacting to what happened at the end of the first book. I must admit I wanted to get past that and onto the storyline of book 2. After the first chapters I really started getting into the story. After awhile I was getting frustrated with Alexia but had to remind myself that she was young and had only been married to Justin less than a year. Their marriage had been one test after another so I understood. Her reaction to Justin being gone kind of reminded me of Bella when Edward left in New Moon. Alexia spiraled into depression and wasn’t thinking about her safety.

I was pleased with the direction the author took in this book. I loved the characters that came on the scene in this story. The resolution of the problem from book 1 was one I could live with. Justin and Alexia are still one of my favorite character couples. With all they have gone through their story is one that I adore. This was a great sequel that left me satisfied with the outcome.
