Who knew a bank robbery could show a girl that good guys still exist?
Tim Franklin. Quiet, shy, almost incapable of speaking to a girl, and a budding horticulturist. Oh, and he survived a bank robbery five years ago, not to mention its resulting trauma.
Bookworm Bella Dwyer just wants to feel safe, and Tim’s actions during the robbery made her believe there might be guys who live up to her fictional heroes. Trouble is, a chance with Tim seems as remote as this year’s celebrity heartthrob.
Instead, she settled for a relationship with a guy who’s commitment-phobic.
So when Bella encounters Tim on tiny Sparrow Island, the challenges of her past and present collide, and she questions whether there really is a future with a man who can't commit.
In a leap of faith, Bella dumps her boyfriend, even before shy-guy Tim can make a move. But in wanting to live by faith and conquer fear, has she made the right choice, or are her hopes for freedom and a future destined to fail?
Read the next Sparrow Island novel in the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
The Independence Islands Series: beach reads aren’t just for summer anymore.
Nothing like ending the summer on a beach reading high! There’s something about a Carolyn Miller romance that puts a curl in my toes before I even open up the book! Love the anticipatory glee almost as much as the actual bookish enjoyment!
Rebuilding Hearts is a delightfully awkward, tender, sweet and swoony love story!

As always I love the beach so I love the island setting and all of the beach fun was a bit entertaining. And I can’t forget the characters, I love watching each of them as grow. And this book is special because it has a special character, Bella is an avid book lover. YES!!! How fun is it to read about someone who loves books as much as you do? And as always with a Carolyn Miller book, I love how she weaves the Christian life into her characters. And she does it in a subtle way. I love Carolyn Miller books and I this is no different. Why not check this one out. You will be happy you did. I am giving Rebuilding Hearts Five Stars.

Bella and Tim, what a sweet couple! This is a sweet story, and Bella also works in a library. This book is about faith and love, and I really liked it! While they are romantic, they are seeking what does God want for their lives?
