Grasp When Dreams Cross (Second Chances, #2) Authored By Terri Blackstock Released As Text

chances

The second book in the series wasnt quite as good as the first but still very enjoyable.
I like the way the author leads into the next book in the series, Blech. Bicker bicker bicker and clashing egos, . . this just didn't work for me, The constant cycle of telling each other off, feeling guilty, occasionally lying, and then bickering again over nothing was just exhausting.
I'd have liked to have gotten some details about the whole buildafunpark thing because that could have made it really interesting.


I don't have confidence in the future happiness of this couple unless they go through some really intense counseling.
These sorts of critical bickering habits are super hard to break, . .

Content: childish displays of anger Rating,stars

I started out liking this one, somewhere in the middle it fell a bit flat, but then the lastpicked it up again for me.


When I started the story, I enjoyed the back and forth bickering between Andi and Justin, but it started to feel bit neverending.
The ending with the action and mystery and twist with Wes' sister revived the book again,

Enjoyed this book, but prefer Terri Blackstock's suspense books, I really like this author, but I ended up skimming a lot of this book and just looking for the conversations.
I dont plan on finishing this series, I dont usually read romances, even Christmas ones, so maybe that was the issue, I just didnt enjoy it that much, I've read several Terri Blackstock books and I was looking forward to another one, This one was a disappointment, Instead of the mystery I was hoping for it was just a syryupy romance and not even well written, I made it through to the end but not because I couldn't put it down, I just kept thinking surely this will get better, It got worse. If this were the first Terri Blackstock book

I had ever read, I would not have read a second one, Much better than first in this series! Listened to the audiobook version,

Andi Sherman has taken over coordinating and managing the construction of Promised Land, the amusement park her father started before a serious car accident put him in hospital.


Justin Pierce is an animator, and his cartoon theme Khaki Kangaroo is what Andi needs for Promised Land, In return, Andi's theme park would lift Justin out of his current obscurity to success, For both of them, sharing the gospel through their creativity is their passion and goal,

The problem Andi and Justin have a history, They were together in their college days, A misunderstanding split them up, and a lot of hurt feelings and stubborn pride have added to their pain since, Warily they form a business relationship, which threatens under the pride they both struggle with,

Someone is targeting Promised Land, Accidents happen and Promised Land is in danger of going under, Andi and Justin fight to find the answers, while still continuing with the dream they believe God has placed in their hearts despite the odds.
While struggling to overcome the odds and their pride they discover they are still in love, and that God has brought them back together because they are better together.


This is my favourite book in the Second Chance series, These books have been written showing how God gives a second chance when we make a mistake, They are also a living testimony of God giving second chances, as this series is a second chance for Terri Blackstock to get them right before God.
A definite mustread for any Christian who has blown it and feels their chance is gone forever, It might not happen straight away it didn't in the story, or in Terri's own life, but it happened, Pray for a second chance, and be ready for it when it is offered!

I know I can count on author Terri Blackstock for a nice wholesome read.
When I started this, I thought hmmm so far not my favorite Ms Blackstock novel this isfor me, Andi was making me want to shake her, She is a very intelligent woman who keeps coming up with the wrong message when it comes to Justin, But I have readother Blackstock novels so I know she usually comes up with some twists that keep me interested.

Plus audio narrator Kris Faulkner did a great job in performing the characters,
This is second in the “Second Chance” series, There are several series that I have read and enjoyed, The “If I Run” series is my favorite,

There were two characters, one a woman trying to fulfill her father's dream of a Christian theme park and a man whose gifted animations could really add to the park.
They were Christians who met eight years after a disastrous broken engagement, And whenever they met sparks flew,


Justin and Andi, college sweethearts both hurt by Andi's father's lie to keep them apart and pride, of which they could not let go, end up working together.
Justin's cartoon characters are just what Andi thinks will make her amusement park, Promised Land, stand out, Their mutual friend, Wes, encourages them to stick with it and forgive each other, Justin finds a plot to sabotage Promised Land and also is able to finally make his characters into a cartoon, In the end, Justin and Andi remember their love fore each other and are married,
Wes's story from the first book, Never Again GoodBye, is continued with his wife having a baby, and his sister getting engaged.

The miscommunications and frustration with each other ended up being a little annoying toward the middle of the book, but the ending was fine and leads into the third book, Blind Trust.
I found this book annoying, You might ask why, as a man, I read it, Good question. One reason was that I'm finishing a romantic suspense novel written from the female perspective, so I though I could learn a thing or two from an expert.


For another reason, the book was passed on by a relative at a time when I was looking for an entertaining, morally uplifting, easy reading book.
It was easy reading. It was entertaining to a degree, But on the other handvery frustrating,

There were two characters, one a woman trying to fulfill her father's dream of a Christian theme park and a man whose gifted animations could really add to the park.
They were Christians who met eight years after a disastrous broken engagement, And whenever they met sparks flew,

The book was full of godtalk but little depth and subtlety, The book was one big argument between the two, filled with misunderstandings and rancor, Now I realize that Christians aren't perfect, I ought to know. But the immaturity of these two was astounding, In their relationships they acted as if they hadn't learned the most basic things about the Christian faith: humility, patience, kindness, forgiveness.
In a word the characters were cardboard cutouts with lots of passion but no depth,

After reading it, I shake my head at the thought of the millions and millions of copies of romance like this sold every year.
It's another book by Terri Blackstock that I love, It's the second book to a quartet that I started by her, I must admit that I liked the first one better, I didn't like the fact that there were different characters, I should have been expecting that since the first book wrapped up very nicely, I don't think that that's how I like series to go, but I must admit that I loved this book, I really can't wait to continue with the third book, This was a surprisingly good story, . . part of a series but can be read as stand alone, . . Life happens, you hold on,

It was very relatable to everyday life, Shows how to depend on the one God's has chosen for you to love, Good book, but Andie was on my nerves!,
