About the Book

Author: Crystal Caudill

Release Date: May 16, 2023 
Genre: Christian Historical Romance 
****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, NetGalley, book tours, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****

She's losing her faith in mankind. He's lost his faith in God. Can working together restore them both? 

As matron of Final Chance House of Refuge, Gwendolyn Ellison has dedicated her life to serving the children deemed delinquents by society. She'll protect them with everything she has. So when she suspects someone is using Final Chance for criminal deeds, she's determined to investigate and put a stop to it. But villains don't like to be crossed--and they're willing to kill to get their way. 

Gwendolyn knows she can't quit fighting. More than her own life is on the line if counterfeiters go free. She must find someone she can trust to help her expose the criminals and protect the children under her care. 

Charming and chivalrous Secret Service operative Josiah Isaacs has never been able to turn his back on a woman in trouble--and capturing counterfeiters is his job, after all. The danger he's truly worried about is his growing attraction to Gwendolyn when his heart wants to remain faithful to his deceased wife. 

As both peril and interest grow, he begins to consider whether a second love may be possible--if they can live through this case. At the same time, he's put off by her faith in a God he no longer trusts. How can a future together even be possible when their beliefs are at odds? 

My Review
Counterfeit Faith is a wonderful Christian, Historical fiction story filled with suspense, mystery, fascinating Philadelphia history, and clean romance. The faith filled messages are inspiring as you see main character, Gwendolyn Ellison facing great danger and trials but her faith in God remains strong. She's the matron of Final Chance House of Refuge where she gives her whole heart and soul to the children she loves and has dedicated her life to. 

Secret Service operative Josiah Isaacs is brave and caring and always seeks for ways to help others. Gwendolyn and Josiah together make a good team as they investigate the misdeeds happening at the Final Chance House of Refuge . With such an exciting plot, loads of action, stalwart characters, snappy dialogue, and uplifting faith-filled words, Counterfeit Faith is an entertaining and engaging read for all Christian, Historical Fiction readers.
