A Heart's Refuge by Carolyne Aarsen

A FRESH START...
Handsome but restless Rick Ethier had no use for the stuffy family business, but when his grandfather laid an interesting proposition at his door, he found it hard to say no. If Rich could bring a faltering magazine around to profitability within a year, he'd be free to pursue his true interests.

FOR TWO
But Rick found an unexpected obstacle in Becky Ellison, the previous owner's daughter and the current editor of the magazine. Though she loved her job, she had yearned to write fiction -- until a very negative review of her first published book -- by Rick Ethier -- had quashed that dream forever. Had God crossed their paths to give them both a new direction?

Michelle:

This story was about a girl named Becky who was an editor of an apparent small magazine. But they had a new publisher. Rick wanted to change the vision, change the layout, and had dollar signs in his eyes. He and Becky clashed on what the magazine should be like...

Personally, I found Rick to be a jerk. I didn't care for his attitude. He seemed to be an antaganist throughout the story. I did NOT like his attitude toward writing the tabloid type article on the Senator. I don't understand why Becky fell in love with him...

This story was dull. I found myself rushing througgh parts of it, and putting my book down several times. I forced myself to finish it but still didn't like it. Don't bother with this one, unless you need a good sleep!
