A Romance with a Little Suspense and a lot of Drama

Indelible by Kristen Heitzmann is a  suspense book with a little romance in its. Set in the Rocky Mountains there is a sculptor whose name is Natalie Reeve. Natalie Reeve's special talent for her sculpting is that she has an eidetic  (photographic) memory, so when she is doing a sculpture of a person she can remember every detail of the person's face, and that when sculpts tat God would see she sculpts the person how God sees them. Trevor MacDaniel is a former Olympian skier owns an outfitter store. Trevor has a rough past, his younger brother died and his dad left when Trevor when he was little. To add to this there is a stalker, previous relationship issues and more. In this book there was a lot of drama and it made for a confusing read. If Kristen had focused on maybe  two of these points it would have been a better read. I do not recommend to read this book.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review

It also shows God's love for us and how that everywhere we go He is there. Cindy Woodsmall does an amazing job at making you feel like you're in the story and one of the characters. Do the Blank's decide to leave? Does Sylvia find peace? Is there forgiveness found?
