About the Book

★★★★✩
Goodreads | Amazon

Grant McAllister arrives in Murphy, North Carolina, with one aim: to sell his inherited property and leave as quickly as possible.

The big-city lawyer has no interest in his late, estranged grandparents or the dilapidated mansion he just acquired. After his high-profile divorce, he should be avoiding perky reporters, too. But Jami Carlisle is honest, funny, and undeniably appealing.

After breaking up with her safe-but-smothering boyfriend, Jami is determined to ace her first big assignment. A story about the McAllister estate is too intriguing to ignore—much like its handsome, commitment-phobic heir. Thanks to her digging, the pieces of Grant's fraught family history are gradually fitting into place, but also upending all his old beliefs.

The two draw closer as they share their dreams, until misread signals and misunderstandings begin to test their trust. But in the unspoiled beauty of the Smoky Mountains, there's healing and forgiveness to be found. And for Grant, this unplanned detour may be just what's needed to finally guide him home...

With plenty of small-town charm, quirky secondary characters, and a heartfelt lesson in love, trust, and forgiveness, Carol J. Post’s novel Trust My Heart offers its readers a delightful and quick inspirational romance.

Main characters Grant McAllister and Jami Carlisle both have trouble trusting due to hardships in their pasts. As their paths cross around town (and the good-hearted but meddling matchmaker helps to make sure it happens), their sweetly forming relationship challenges them to confront these issues and move forward to pursue their dreams. Overall, I enjoyed their romantic story—though a few moments had me quite frustrated, since simple communication could have prevented much unnecessary drama…

Still, Trust My Heart is fun and cute with an uplifting message. Fans of contemporary romance looking for a sweet weekend read could really like it. I did, and now I really hope Jami’s two best friends get chances for matchmaking and romance and look forward to seeing if that happens.

About the Author

From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special-events decorating company, Carol J. Post's résumé reads as if she hasn't yet decided what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love of writing. She started as a child composing poetry for family and friends, then graduated to articles for religious and children's publications. Now she pens fun, fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense stories. Her books have been nominated for an RT Reviewers' Choice Best Book award and selected as an RT Top Pick. When Carol isn't writing, she enjoys sailing, hiking, camping—almost anything outdoors. She also plays the piano and sings with her music-minister husband. Their two grown daughters and their grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all her nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly spoiled dachshund.
