Book Spotlight: The Butterfly Recluse by Therese Heckenkamp

SYNOPSIS:

Learning to love is like learning to fly . . .

Eccentric. Weird. Crazy. Whatever people call her, Lila doesn’t mind. Most of the time. She finds solace in her sheltered world by raising butterflies and surrounding herself with their gentle beauty. They’re all she needs.

Most of the time.

Until a motorcycle-riding stranger roars up her driveway, invading her safe haven, throwing her life off-kilter, and forcing her to question everything. Persistent and stubborn, Harvey Sanford may be just what she needs—or everything she doesn’t.

He’s easy on the eyes, but hard on her emotions. What exactly is he after, and what is he not telling her? Should she safeguard her heart or follow it?

As a summer wedding approaches, Lila must decide how much she’s willing to risk for a chance at true happiness. In one intense night of desperation and revelation, she must confront her darkest fears—and hopefully discover that with faith and courage, shattered dreams can be restored, damaged hearts can love again, and broken wings can heal . . . maybe even fly.

A clean, inspirational, sweet summer romance!

Recommended for fans of contemporary Christian romance.

MY REVIEW:

The Butterfly Recluse by Therese Heckenkamp
Starts out with her camera in hand and trying to capture the butterfly but a man driving a motorcycle has destroyed the quiet and scared the butterfly away.
There is so much to this story, romance, religion and all the butterflies. Like how the chapters go but wish we had heard from the male side of the story as it was happening to the female.
Wedding of his sister and she will be going with Harvey. She had a falling out with Sarah,  the bride and they hope with the release of the butterflies at the wedding that they can mend fences.
Things don't go quite as planned and we are introduced to the person she had been talking to online. He is at the wedding also and takes things into his own hands. She had crept away from the church after the tragedies of her family and she's the only one left.
Love the photography parts also and how she is able to survive inside her house having everything delivered. Misunderstandings and Jess then kidnaps her but Harvey is on their trail...
So much goes wrong after the fighting and you are hoping she will lean on God soon to get her out of the mess.
A note from the author, acknowledgements and about the author are highlighted at the end.  Her other works sound interesting, hope I can find a few.
Received this review copy from the author via BookSirens and this is my honest opinion.
