Summary: AWESOME WRITING
Review: As a person with firsthand experience on this topic, it did my heart good to see a storyline where the woman ended up happily and was able to go on. I think it was very courageous of Ms.Thomas to tackle an issue that society thinks is "taboo" to discuss, but she did it in an excellent and thoughtful manner. Had I not endured the same thing, I would not have been able to relate as well, but I understand her pain oh so well.
And I also applaud the way that it only took her a year to open herself up to love again, it took me 11 years to even admit that it happened to me. And that was ONLY AFTER I accepted Christ into my life and forgave myself and the guy. The love that Jackson exhibited towards Bran had me holding my breath until the end of each chapter. His patience and his willingness to wait, even on their wedding night, almost had me in tears. I did not agree with how she kept the secrets from him though and until he did the same with Monique, I totally agreed with his anger towards her for keeping Martin's re-emergence a secret.
It was also refreshing for an author to show us how things progressed after the marriage. Oftentimes, stories end at the happy ending and we are left wanting more and wondering what happened, but this one answered all of that by giving us the opportunity to follow them all the way to their 1-year anniversary and beyond. I just purchased Carrie's story (Forever Always) and will follow them accordingly after that.
Ms. Jackson has been making me happy long before I knew that she had fiction stories that were in a series (I have read all her Christian inspired books). I have been a fan of hers for a very long time and will continue to read whatever she puts out in whatever format! God bless!

Summary: Excellent Read
Review: Brandeis was really courageous. Martin was crazy. He had a spirit of possessivness. Carrie poor Carrie. She was trying to be liked. She thought Martin really loved her.I am glad that Brandeis and Jacksons love was strong. Just taking on the topic of rape was courageous of Ms. Thomas. The lesson is even is your body has been invaded, you still can have a chance at love. Keep up the great work Jacquie

Summary: This book was a Hidden Blessing for me.
Review: Excellent book. I have only one question is there really a Jackson Gray out there. This novel kept my attention from the beginning to the end. It took going into a store seeing this book on the shelf,taking it home...and finishing it in a day in a half, to really make me get into the habit of reading again.
I fell in love with this novel. Thanks for giving a sister hope.But most of all thanks for inspiring me to read again. Now I pick up book after book and just keep reading.Please let me know if you have any other Jackson Gray books available.Now I have a reading club going on at work. Every body is reading and sharing their Stories.

Summary: A love that transcends all things!!
Review: Hidden Blessings was a true love story. Where a person loves you no matter what. This also was one of my first novels that I have read and my first book by Thomas. It made a big impression on me to continue reading arabesque books! This book was a very good read. Thomas has mad skills in the writing department!

Summary: A True Love Story
Review: I really enjoyed sharing in the lives of Brandeis and Jackson. He was truly a gentleman who was willing to do anything for love. It showed that love can conquer all. I also felt that Mona was a strong, supportive mother and really set a good example for all "moms". The author outdid herself and I look forward to reading more of her books. This was a True Love Story from beginning to end!
