Our lives were forever changed…

I was living the dream until a misstep ended my career, and now I’m half the man I used to be. If I can’t fight fires, I don’t even know who I am. But my new occupational therapist is determined to help me figure it out.

Leighton is beautiful—inside and out. She’s also smart as a whip and believes in me even when I don’t believe in myself. Amazingly, the more time I spend with her and her adorable daughter, the more hopeful I become.

But falling in love with Leighton is a terrible idea, right? She’s still healing from the loss of her husband, and it’s her job to help me recover from my injury. We can’t blur these lines. If we do, we might end up even more broken than before.

Then again, Leighton has this way of making me feel like anything is possible. She makes me feel like we can be whole again. Together. If I can learn to love the new me, can she let herself love me back, even if it means risking her heart?

An inspirational story of healing and overcoming loss, A Half Made Whole is the first book in the Finding Home series. The book is a clean and wholesome romance with a dual POV.

What readers are saying:

"This book was about healing, loving, and knowing you are enough! This story was beautiful and at times I wished I could enter the book and hug the characters!"

"I enjoyed this book, I loved the characters, the storyline but most of all the human connection I felt while reading. I couldn’t put it down."

"This was a wonderful love story! The characters were so realistic, I felt like I had known them all my life. It was easy to love Leighton and Brexen, who had both lost so much."

"I couldn't put the book down and read the entire story without stopping."

"This is the most beautiful, thoughtful book I’ve read in a while."

This was a sweet read of overcoming adversity. This is a clean read but no mention of religious components.

The characters are real and make you want to.love in their world. Lei is so likable and upbeat you would never know what she has dealt with in her life. Brazen is living in the moment and I do like him but it seems like Lei is the giver in this story.
Definitely worth the read and I will be checking out the following books in the series.

A Half Made Whole is a sweet contemporary Christian romance that I've had on my kindle for a bit and just haven't had must time to read until the Covid-19 Stay at Home order. Since then I've gotten several books moved from TBR to Read and that makes me happy.

A Half Made Whole is the story of Leighton and Brexton both have had loss in their lives but in very different ways. I love how that even thought Leighton has lost her husband she pushes herself to be strong and find a new way of life. The struggles she faces with moving forward are realistic and I loved this characteristic of her. Brexton has a loss of self which he has struggled with until he final decides to move away from his hometown into the basement of his twin sister. Both characters are searching for a new way to move forward, but neither expect that cross the line that is set before them.

This book is a very easy, heartwarming, realistic fiction novel. It touches on real life elements such as loss, moving forward, finding yourself, and taking a second chance on life and love.

If you are looking for a standalone novel that will warm your heart and more than just a typical romance, I highly recommend that you one-click A Half that Made Whole today.

With Love & Mason Jars,
Casey

Leighton and Brexen

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

For the most part, this was a great story, although there could have been better communication between Leighton and Brexen.
I loved that it was sweet and clean and loved how Brex was so good with Leighton’s daughter, Kamryn (loved the spelling of her name!) When Kamryn talked about her Barbie dolls - she said “Bah bie” That made me chuckle, because when our daughter was that age, her Sunday school teacher came to me and ask who Bobby was as our daughter was asking for prayer for him. We don’t know any Bobby. Then I realized she was asking for prayer for her Barbie doll! That was many years ago, so this tidbit in the story brought back fond memories ❤️

**Spoiler Alert**
There is only one thing that bothered me, and it’s involving their lack of communication.
Lei admitted to herself how absolutely drawn she was to Brex, but when Chase called and wanted to go out, I think that she definitely should have texted Brex while he was gone. Especially being seen with Chase several times in public with him hanging all over her...I would be a nervous wreck wondering if Brex would see and/or find out! She must not have cared that much for him after all... and even when Brex finally manned up to approach them and ask what’s going on, why didn’t Lei apologize for NOT letting him know? That just really bothered me.

Since others have synopsized this story, I will only give my opinions. I found this story very touching. Yes, as a reader it was easy to want to scream at the couple, Leighton and Breen, to "Hurry up and tell each other how you feel about each other"! However, their hesitancy made the story more real. People's insecurities so often block out the ability to do just that. Karla B. (P.S. It is bad to give bread to ducks.)

Really neat story showing two people overcoming hardships. A sad part was the accident on the man and limitations on his career. Also she was left a widow with a young child at a young age. They both overcame their past sadness and became wonderful parents.
Thanks to the accredited wonderful author for this story.

A great story!

Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2020

This is a beautiful story with a redemptive quality I admire. Our two protagonists are both hurting—“broken” in some way. And both feeling unworthy because of it. But together they not only help each other out of their self-depreciation, but learn they are more than what they appear to be. The events start off a little slowly, with background information and a self-reflection on the part of the characters before the action takes place. And while I can appreciate self-reflective characters, it does slow down the reading. Otherwise, the protagonists, Leighton and Brexen, easily gain the reader’s sympathy and the sibling interaction between Brexen and his sister is real, wholesome, and enjoyable. Definitely read it.

3.5 ☆ Sweet romance.

Reviewed in Australia on January 24, 2024

This was a sweet romance between two equally sweet, broken people who struggled with verbal communication and how to read each other a lot of the time. (Note to reader: if stories with miscommunications are a struggle for you, this story might test your patience.)

I enjoyed the interaction between Leighton and Brexen during his therapy sessions, and was wrapped up in their moments together, especially their dancing. I also loved the way Brexen interacted with Kamryn, and totally related to that precocious little girl as she reminded me of my youngest. 😊

Readers and reviews (even the Amazon category) have said this is a Christian romance, but it's more like a story with a moral worldview (I think God is mentioned once or twice?). There is also a lot of description and "telling" in this novel. So many scenes I wished had been "shown" through dialogue instead of an overview of what happened. The flow of the story felt like it stalled at times because of the narrative, but I pushed through to the end, relieved for the happy ending. 😊

Saccharine, too sweet for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really wanted to like this book and I enjoyed the way the author presented us with both the hero and the heroine's view points. This was very well done. And I could even fall into the present tense voice. However, this was, in my view, more of a Young Adult book than what I would expect in a run-of-the-mill Contemporary Romance. Too much time and space was taken up with irritating baby-talk from a child character that got far too much attention by taking centre stage far too often. I felt the book was perfect for someone who likes uber-clean romance or is young and rather inexperienced. I don't felt it portrayed the reality of the situation the characters found themselves in and all of them, without exception were so perfect then felt like paper dolls.
