Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
This book blew me away. I’ve read several books by RC, and they were light-hearted stories that had funny, quirky characters. Good Samaritan is a more serious book, and not your typical romance. It’s gritty, it’s intense, and it will restore your faith in humankind.
Jude is homeless by choice, paying a self-inflicted penance for a horrible tragedy five years earlier by going around the city doing good deeds. He crosses paths with reporter Faith when her car runs out of gas, and a tentative friendship forms between them that is strengthened when Jude is befriended by Faith’s friend, Father James. But when Faith’s next assignment is to expose the city’s Good Samaritan, everything changes between them.
This was such an amazing story of forgiveness, love, judgement, unconventional family and simple kindness. The connection between Jude and Faith was immediate and I fell in love with them instantly. Jude doesn’t feel he’s with being loved, and Faith has lived her entire life not being “enough.” But together, they are magnificent.
We should all take a page from Jude’s book. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
currently lives on the southeastern coast of the U.S., enjoys long walks on the
beach, running, reading, people watching, and singing karaoke. If you’re in the
mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can’t recall the lyrics to a particular
80’s song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost
anything for a laugh, she’s your girl.
