Frank Henderson has at last succeeded in obtaining his dream job as the head chef at the El Tovar. But with the continuing thefts at the hotel, and his growing affection for Ruth, Frank's career--and his heart--are in jeopardy.

As tensions run high, Ruth and Frank must work together to save the El Tovar and forge a new path for the future together.



My Thoughts 


What a great conclusion to this series! It was great to return to the Grand Canyon to the El Tovar Hotel. Mrs. Woodhouse once more paints such a picturesque scenery that you feel like you are right there with these characters seeing all the beauty that they see. I enjoyed being back with the Harvey girls and seeing Ruth's story unfold. Her journey to find who she really was great and I really liked how her friends help her see beyond the superficial and rely on God who looks beyond all of that and focuses on the heart. 

The love interest Frank was great and at times I felt bad for him. I just wanted him to scream at the top of his lungs how he felt about Ruth but everything was perfect as it usually is in God's timing.

There is plenty to read in this book. Not only the characters transformation and faith journey but there is also some action and twists I wasn't expecting. Definitely a great read and I highly recommend the whole series! 

My Rating: 4 Stars/ Really Liked it

I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
