“Let’s trust that God has forgiven us – given us another chance to do things right.” “Another chance,” she whispered, nodding. “Broken, but not beyond repair.”
Beyond Repair, the third installment in author Rose Fresquez’s Eron Outsiders series, is a beautiful tale of redemption, forgiveness, and discovering God’s constant grace. This novel can easily be read as a standalone novel, but after reading Beyond Repair, now I want to go back and read the first two books in the series!
Rose Fresquez creates a realistic storyline of an ex-gang member who is ready for a fresh start after being released from prison, but finds himself in harm’s way after his former gang tries to force him back into that dangerous and criminal lifestyle. Although I personally wouldn’t be trusting enough to let a stranger stay in my house after being shot, especially after finding out that he had been previously in jail, I truly appreciated the heroine Jules’ determination to nurse Lorenzo back to health, and Lorenzo’s honesty and desire for repentance of his past sins.
I am so glad that I discovered Rose Fresquez's books earlier this year. I love the diversity of her characters and her sweet small-town Christian romances. If you haven't read any books by Rose Fresquez yet, this is the perfect opportunity!
Beyond Repair is recommended for readers of inspirational contemporary romance.

BackCover Blurb:
Her past is a string of bad choices. Is falling for a wanted ex-gang member one more?
Hiding from her troubled past, Jules Demski sequesters herself in the mountains of Eron, Colorado, the only place she’s ever felt safe. Her solitude is shattered when an injured man staggers into her family’s barn.
Burned once and still in repair, the last thing she needs is another criminal on her hands. If she can only convince her heart of this, she just might be able to resist the interloper’s charm.
Former gangster Lorenzo Macedo has cleaned up his act, but now he’s running for his life. He stumbles upon a barn just as a bullet pierces his body.
Jules appears standoffish and cold, but the tender way she nurses Lorenzo reveals a soft-hearted, passionate woman aching for her own wounds to be healed. No woman has ever set his blood on fire like Jules, but he has nothing to offer her except a life on the run.
Can Jules and Lorenzo find redemption in the small town, or are their lives Beyond Repair?
