Tested By Fire (Love Inspired)

Summary: A Great Debut Title
Review: I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn Springer at the annual ACRW conference in September. She is as sweet as this wonderful little novel she has written for Love Inspired.

Romance blossoms slowly and naturally from friendship, and our hero and heroine are both blessed with enough friends and family to support them through the hero's crisis of faith. The subplots involving a local arsonist and sexual discrimination in the workplace round out the story well.

Perhaps a little too much reliance is placed on stereotypes (the rich girl who is really down-to-earth and altruistic, the man who acts out against women at work because his wife has a job that causes conflicts in their home), and there is never much doubt as to identity of the arsonist.

But the love story is sweet and satisfying. All in all, a great little read.
