Mended Heart was a sweet, uplifting read. I really enjoyed it - perfect for a summer afternoon. Mary Manners crafts a masterful story.

Mary Manners never fails to leave my heart swooning and feeling such empathy for the characters. Jade McAllister doesn't believe that Shane Calkin can truly have changed enough from their high-school days to be capable of serving as a youth director in a church. Shane's heart is determined to win Jade's heart, but will she let him? Will she allow forgiveness in her heart and believe in love?
This novel is sure to delight those who love to read Christian fiction. Jade is a caregiver to her mother, the mother she has been estranged from and now she has to put all those emotions aside to do the right thing in honoring her parents. Mary Manners is one of my favorite authors. I usually enjoy romances that have mystery or suspense attached much more than "plain, old romances" in novels.
I just can't help but rate this novel 5 stars and I would highly recommend it to those who like to cuddle up with a Christian romance.
I received an ebook of this novel from netgalley and Pelican Book Group, White Rose Publishing.
