River of Change
About
Caleb Hayes avoids two things in life: change and work. Of late, neither is going well.
Josephina Ruiz watches her beloved little brother marry his long–time boyfriend, Jordan Hayes, forcing her to tolerate in their union, Caleb Hayes, as now being a part of her life. After an off–putting come on she realizes the extent of the rumors she’s heard about Caleb are most likely true. From womanizing, to petty crimes to all around laziness, he’s the last man she ever intends to give a chance to… until he almost loses his brother, and begs her to help him change.
When forced by circumstances to face his own shortcomings, Caleb starts to see himself from a new light. A not so positive light. He begins to understand not only his brother, but the woman who begins to show him an entirely different way of living than he’s ever embraced. In Josephina, Caleb is challenged from every belief he has to every action he does. And he finally begins to see the damage his life does to others, but by then, has the harm he’s caused others, be too late to change? Can his ultimate redemption bring about healing with the one person he now knows is the best kind of change of all?
Praise for this book
"When I first started reading this book I could not decide if I liked Caleb. He appeared to be everything I disliked in a man however as the story progressed I was drawn into his thoughts and feelings in a way I had not expected. Leanne Davis has a way with her writing to make the reader feel a part of the story with all it's ongoing emotions and drama.
I personally live within her words sensing the surroundings, feeling the wind rustling in the trees, laughing and sometimes crying with her characters etc. Her descriptions are alive and also thought provoking.
She has written yet another beautiful episode in the River's End series and one which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend."
"I adored this story. It starts a little rough because well, life isn’t always easy. The writer captured my attention with Caleb and the way he perceives certain situations. Just like in life, we have to see the ugly of Caleb before we get to the diamond he is. Josephina is a strong woman and the protective side of her shines throughout. There are some situations that had me crying out loud, but it is all worth it at the end. River of Change is the first book by this author that I have read. I easily read it as a standalone but will going on with the future books. I also can’t wait to go back and read the entire series. River of Change shows how people can change for themselves and those they love."
"This story of Caleb & Josefina was so emotional and true to life. How Caleb had no self-esteem, met Josefina through odd circumstance in their lives that brought them together. He fell in love with her, but felt he wasn't good enough for her. The story of how they grew together through ups & downs, self doubt & insecurity. Finally realizing they both deserved their love for each other. The last quarter of this book was definitely a page-turner. I've loved reading all the books in this series. So glad I found this Author & can't wait to start reading the next book."
