(Unconquerable Faith Series Book 2)
KIM'S REVIEW:
Wow! Another amazing and compelling read from Skylar J. Kent. Desert Thorns is raw, honest, and so deep on so many levels. The faith thread is so well done. The characters are so well drawn and their redemption and growth is inspiring. The suspense is perfect! I loved it all so much.
Kingsley is such a great character. I felt his pain as he struggled with his issues and wanted him to find the peace he so desperately needed and wanted. Harley is so perfect for him. She is bubbly, honest, and blunt -so blunt- and I loved her for it. This story explores temptation and sexual sin, the struggle to forgive ourselves when we fall, and—most importantly—the boundless grace of God.
I loved this quote-
“Rejecting His forgiveness by not forgiving myself meant He’d gone through all of this torment for nothing. How arrogant and idiotic I’d been.”
We also get to reconnect with Keaton (still one of my all-time favorite male characters) and Layne, as well as other familiar faces from Gold Digger. And the introduction of new characters—hello, Rome!—has me even more excited for what's to come in this series.
Absolutely unforgettable. I can't wait for the next story! 5 stars!!
BackCover Blurb:
HARLEY
I sport a track record of falling for the wrong men. But a monk? Yup, he takes the cake.
Loneliness has driven me to make poor decisions in the past, like dating a detective who turned out to be a killer. Now my ex is after me because I saw too much.
A monastery is the last place I expect to find refuge, let alone in the arms of a monk about to become a priest. But Brother Samuel—formerly Kingsley Grady, son of billionaires—is bent on keeping me safe.
Even when I decide to dig into my ex’s dark secret.
KINGSLEY
The forbidden fruit tastes sweet—until you reap the consequences.
When a woman scrambles over the walls of Saint James Monastery in the dead of night, I vow to protect her. A dicey move, considering Harley Raines is a vortex of allure and danger.
One weak moment spirals into a cycle of sin and crushing guilt. Though I’m steeled for repercussions, they prove far worse than expected. And then Harley’s ex unleashes his revenge on us for meddling in his affairs.
But what if the abyss is the place where I can finally grasp the fullness of God’s mercy?
Desert Thorns is a daring Christian contemporary romance about forbidden love, sexual immorality from a Biblical viewpoint, and God's mercy—with an edge of suspense.
Author's Note: While Desert Thorns is a fade-to-black romance without explicit content, it is intended for readers 18+ due to mature themes. Content warnings will be available under "Read sample" once the book is published.
