By All Appearances
An attractive special events
planner
is determined to keep her distance.
A disfigured musician struggles to
guard his heart.
By all appearances, both are
destined to fail.
Liana Tate, a special events planner grew up in a
high-profile family. No matter what she does, Liana feels she never measures
up.
Bryan Langley, a talented musician, was close to
signing a recording contract when a barn fire left part of his face severely
burned. He survived, but his career did not.
When Liana’s father hires Bryan as a caretaker on
the family estate outside of Seattle, Liana’s and Bryan’s lives become
entangled. He risks public humiliation for Liana’s success, and she encourages
him to use his musical gifts, despite his reluctance. Thrown together, will
they achieve their elusive dreams? And will the two find the love and
acceptance they yearn for, or will their actions only drive each other away?

What
readers are saying …
“How refreshing to read a novel without an oh-so-hot
hero and gorgeous heroine. In itself, the way the theme is presented deserves
five stars. Then there's the romance, the heart-wrenching scenes, the
description, and lovely writing. I highly recommend this book!”
“Sweetly romantic, yet deep.”
“The book’s message will stick with the reader long
after the book is finished.”
“I longed to get things done so I could read this. I
rushed through other things in my schedule so I could get back to this
beautiful story. And you want to know why? The characters were so unique and
their arcs superb. I was astounded. When you go into a book with low
expectations and then get whacked upside the head with breathtaking scenery and
perfectly flawed characters—I tell you...the shock is immense.”
“Characters ~ I've stated before that they were
amazing, but I’ll do it again. THEY’RE AMAZING. I was astounded at how well
they were flawed, and then had to overcome their difficulties to develop
relationships. Kinzer showed them as being human....not perfect angels who had
perfect everything. They were human...with hearts…”
“I wasn’t prepared for something that would be real.
Really real. The love wasn’t just based on physical attraction or feelings...it
was based on the heart. The heart and characteristics of both Bryan and Liana. The
development between these two is so beautiful and REALISTIC WHICH I BELIEVE
I'VE STATED A MILLION TIMES. If there’s one thing you get from this review know
that this book is beautifully REALISTIC.”
“The message ~ It wasn’t preachy. It wasn’t harsh.
It bled through the pages nicely and shaped the main characters’ hearts. It was
touching and true. Soft, but persistent.”
“All the characters well defined, and I could relate to all of
them as if they were part of my own daily life. The complex situations each of
the main characters dealt with were well researched and the male character’s
circumstance was a new area (without giving away the plot) that I hadn’t seen
in a Christian romance storyline previously.”
