Procure Losing Faith (Seth Trista, #1) Depicted By Jeremy Asher Represented In Print

STORY SOME TEARS BUT OVERALL A GOOD READ I really enjoyed the story and could see this as movie on Lifetime or the Hallmark channel.
I liked how the story intersected all the characters, What I didn't like was all the cliche situations and the fact that the main character, Seth, was so selfabsorbed and unconcerned about the other people he was traveling with.
I thought he and Trista getting together seemed rushed and not alot of substance behind it, I didn't realize this was a series so maybe we'll see more of that in the other books, Seth Storm is a oncebeen Nashville musician who is trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and get back to his daughter.
But when a winter storm strands him, he is forced to travel with strangers and thinks he might lose it all, I liked this story and how all the little pieces came together in the end, It was a clean read with an inspiring message of love and faith, "Losing Faith" by Jeremy Asher ended up being a decent read, I had this book on my eReader for a while and decided it was time to read it, I must admit that I wasn't sure I would like it, and that is why it took so long for me to get around to reading it.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this story,

The main character is a countrywestern singer that feels that he has failed everyone he has ever loved, The other characters that make up the story are: Trista the young single mom running from an abusive relationship and teen daughter Savannah Frank the older man who helps these young people out in their time of need and, Deena and Harvey who are just the sweetest couple who run the BampB at Cupid's Corner.


This story reminds me of the "feel good" type of movies I have watched on "Lifetime", This is definitely a "feel good" book,
It was okstars. Sweet story with likeable characters I wanted to read this series because I enjoyed Jeremy Asher's Jesse and Sarah series, I don't know what it is with his series but there is always at least one character that I spend the book asking "what the hell is wrong with you!".
Seth is the character in this series for me, I actually found him to be very unlikable throughout most of the book, I get that he lost his wife and is grieving but wow, I'm not really sure what Trista sees in him but then again she doesn't have the best track record if Tuck is any indication.
That story line was a big build up and then it was over before you knew it in a very anticlimactic way.
Savannah was a typical "it's all about me" teenager but I loved Frank, Deana and Harvey, Not the typical genre for me but it's the one I tend to turn to when I'm vacationing, So far I would recommend the series, especially if you like Lifetime movie type books, Seth Storm, a once famous musician from Nashville, is now nothing more than a fallen star, After climbing the music charts and making his dreams come true, his life took a turn that hed never expected, causing him to lose it all.
But Seth is determined to do whatever it takes to get it all back, even if that includes doing the one thing he swore hed never do.


After turning his back on his career, music, and the life he had worked so hard to build, Seth embarks on a journey to make things right and get his life back.


Along the way, Seth encounters a storm that threatens his chances at getting back the one thing that could fix his broken life: his daughter, Faith.
Forced to travel with strangers, Seth discovers that his success and failure are not just at the hands of fate, but that they also rest within his traveling companions.


This

is a story about how far a man will go when he has nothing to lose and only one chance at getting it all back to honor a promise he made to his little girl.
The road to picking up the pieces of his broken life places him facetoface with his demons, leading him to realize that nothing is worse than Losing Faith.
Pick it for me Freebie Reads, Thanks for Voting!

Say it with me, LIFETIME MOVIE,

When I added this to the Freebie Poll, it was because the premise, It sounds so good and at the time, I was still on my contemporary wave yes, I know I keep mentioning it.
Losing Faith had its good parts, Sadly, there were so many issues I had that I just couldn't like it, let alone love it,

I enjoyed the meaning behind Losing Faith, Second chances, love, hope and a little bit of fate, The story follows not just Seth, but Frank, Trista and her daughter Savannah too, Seth, on his way to Indiana for his daughter, Faith, Trista on the run from her abusive fiance', Joined together in the storm, they help each other during the journey, We see what when two people are thrown together, you can heal,

That's pretty much it, Okay, there is part of the ending like I liked, but more on that below,

Let's start with Seth, This man he is a douche. I initially felt sorry for the guy, losing his wife and then his daughter but he was so incredibly selfish and narrowminded it pissed me off.
I get it. When we lose people, it changes you and sometimes, people CAN'T handle it, But that does NOT give you a reason to be like that, I mean, he contemplated leaving a woman started in her car, during a rain storm INJURED because he had somewhere to be.
Wait, what YEAH. And that was in the BEGINNING,

This is probably just me, but who in their RIGHT MIND, tries to leave the state in the middle of the WORST STORM your city has pretty much ever seen We are talking white out conditions, people.
FEET of snow. It would have been so much easier to just stay at the airport or hey, call your people and let them KNOW you are stranded.
huffs Not only that, Savannah Trista's daughter is a little spit fire teenage girl with an attitude, Still, this girl decides she is SO PISSED at her mom, that she takes off walking IN THE STORM, No. I don't care how pissed and irrational teenagers can be, this was so stupid and was only in there to add tension.
Aaaaaand, during this snow storm, they get a flat tire, I mean, c'mon.

The writing. sighs loudly

There was NO depth, At all. Andof the plot was unrealistic that my eyes were hurting from the eye rolling,

So, we know that Trista is on the run from her fiancé, because not only was he abusive but he was controlling.
She is terrified that he would come looking for her and take her, Which is legit, I would say, BUT. Aha, that but, when he DID find them, it was in the middle of the book and so anticlimactic, I was just like, "that's it"

I am not one to usually share quotes but sometimes, there are things that pop out and stick with me.
And these few bothered me,

"But kids shouldn't have to understand such difficulties, It was the best part of growing up in this complicated and often unfair world, Innocence was truly greatest gift a child would ever lose, " Kindle location
I can't even say why this bugs me so much, I agree to a point, but you wonder why youryearold daughter is a prissy, selfish little girl, SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE, because you shelter her and give her what she wants,

"When I've found myself in the worst moments of life, and my wife and I can't seem to get on the same page, I pause, take a step back from the issue, and remember how beautiful and important that woman is to me.
And in that moment, the thing that is causing our pain seems to get smaller and become insignificant, I guess when you truly love someone, you love them through the worst times the same as you do the great times.
"

Well said, old man, Except for the fact that you just admitted to brushing your problems under the rug because it's small and insignificant because of how beautiful your wife is and how important she is.
Can we say, communication You must work at your relationship, not hope that your love for that person will fix it, It just doesn't WORK that way,

The ending part I liked

Okay, We know Frank is here for some reason and while I started to piece it together, I was kind floored by the revelation.
Then again, he was also played a HUGE part in Seth getting Faith and on a legal standpoint, I just don't see that happening.
Call me a pessimist.

Overall I barely brushed all the issues that I had with Losing Faith, There is just too much WTFery going on, lack of depth, the writing and characters you can't, and don't, relate to or care about.

But this would be a good Lifetime Movie, No matter how implausible those things are, they are SO GOOD,Stars
Wonderful and Haunting Story
This book was carefully crafted to be a love story, suspense, mystery and inspirational, It pulls it all together in a tight plot, The story is a touch predictable, but that doesnt get in the way of a very good story, The complex characters are flawed heroes and very realistic, I am looking forward to reading more from this author, especially the next two books in this series, I received this book at no cost and voluntarily chose to post my review,
Great storyline,

Seth had lost his wife, and did not want to loose his daughter, Faith who was living with his wife's parents.
He was a 'famous' country and western singer, but had stopped singing, causing financial issues,

The journey is not without hitches, They happen onto as wedding in a place called Cupid, Seth's attitude begins to change he let's himself begin to hope! Trista's past catches up with them, but crisis is averted! Frank is this as wise as ever!
