Dawn In My Heart

Going for the middle here.
-Down one star for a naive heroine and an unreasonable hypocrite of a hero.
-Down one star for the content. Yes, it was necessary to the plot. No, I did not like it. Strictly 18+.
There is a frank sharing of the gospel and an exploration of spiritual warfare. The main characters do turn their lives around. However, there is a frank view of the gutter they came out of.
I'm just glad this wasn't my first Axtell book, or I'd have missed some other enjoyable books. It is well written and everything builds to a believable but melodramatic ending. Good Regency setting. Read at your own risk.
