Joel Bennett has always known Serena Hayes as his sister’s gregarious best friend. In the three years since Lacey began college, Serena became a regular houseguest, but lately, she’s absent more than not. When Joel discovers she’s in an abusive relationship, protectiveness from within roars to life.

With only a part-time job to support her and nowhere to go, Serena fears leaving her current relationship would jeopardize her chances of graduating college. After a brutal attack leaves her no choice, she courageously moves out. On her journey toward regaining confidence, self-worth, and independence, Joel falls in beside her, encouraging her. The way he emulates Godly love and compassion draws her close–not just to him, but to the God who can satisfy her longing for love better than any man,

Attraction sizzles between them, but events from their pasts cast shadows of doubt. When the unthinkable happens, can Serena open her heart to a second chance at love, or is she destined to be alone?

I really enjoy a good Christian Romance novel, so I was excited

to read a new novel by Sara Beth Williams. Also, a new to me 

author which makes a book all the more interesting. 

Serena Hayes is the BEST Friend of Joel Bennett's sister. She has 

been hanging out at the Bennett household often in the last 3 yrs, 

since starting college with Lacey, Joel's sister. Joel becomes concerned

when he notices Serena hasn't been coming by. He is even more 

concerned when he finds out that Serena is in an abusive relationship. 

Serena is scared to leave her abusive relationship as she is almost

done with College and she doesn't want to hinder her chances of 

being a College Graduate. She finally does move on after a brutal

attack in her relationship. Joel goes into "Protective Mode' and comes

along side encouraging her as she finishes College and works her part

time job. Joel actions and encouragement also helps her focus on God 

and how God's LOVE is greater then any other. Joel and Serena are 

growing closer and forming a strong relationship, but both have pasts

that could hinder a wonderful romantic relationship. Will Serena be 

able to overcome her fears and be able to open her heart to someone

new? Will Joel become more then a friend to Serena?? 

I absolutely LOVE this book! The author addresses the topic 

of Abusive Relationship is a sensitive manner. The characters

are really interesting. The Christian aspect can be seen

throughout the book with Scriptures and Godly behavior. I 

literally could not stop reading once I started because each 

chapter was more exciting then the last. FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Sara Beth

Can I tell you a secret? When writing a new manuscript, book titles for me either come immediately, or they take years – literally – to develop into something catchy and strong. A Worthy Heart came to me almost immediately. I had no hesitation, because I knew what I wanted the story’s message to be.

Whereas the titles for my first and third book took over a year of going back and forth, with much indecision, A Worthy Heart resonated perfection.

What do you think makes a strong, unique title? I love titles with double meanings. I felt like A Worthy Heart truly captured both the romantic feel of the storyline, and the spiritual message of the storyline simultaneously. And I absolutely love when that happens!

I truly hope you enjoy Joel and Serena’s story, and I hope you can decipher both meanings in the title. More than that, I hope you take those three words to heart, because those three words are exactly what God believes about every single one of you.

Happy reading,

Sara Beth Williams
