Publisher Description
How hard can it be to resist temptation?
Adeline Walsh never thought she would give up her worldly possessions - her iPhone, her make-up and even her successful life as a dog breeder - to join a convent on the other side of the country. But after the discovery of a shocking family secret she feels called to a life of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Life at the Smallton convent is nothing like Adeline expected. The other sisters quickly become like family and Adeline feels like she's found her place in the world. Until she meets Holden Campbell, a man as tempting as the devil himself.
Due to a devastating accident in his past, Holden is not interested in any relationship or even a friendship with Adeline, but when their dogs keep bringing them together, he reluctantly accepts her help to organise a charity event. An accidental kiss tests both their resolves, but they are determined to fight the attraction raging between them.
Holden doesn't believe in love and Adeline isn't going to risk everything she's just found. Can they resist each other while continuing to work on a cause they both passionately believe in?
An emotional and uplifting story about overcoming your past from bestselling author Rachael Johns.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Inspired by The Sound of Music, Talk to the Heart playfully reminds readers that love can be found in the most unexpected places. Adeline Walsh is shaking off an ill-fated night of passion with a country music star when she gets the news her grandmother has died. In the aftermath, she discovers a dark family secret that compels her to make a drastic change: she moves across the country and joins a convent. Adeline’s commitment to a life of service comes as a huge surprise but, in the hands of bestselling rural romance writer Rachael Johns, it’s completely believable. Adeline is enjoying the simple life of a postulant when she meets foster carer Holden Campbell. Can she fight her attraction to him and fully devote her life to the church? Johns’ characters’ backstories feel authentic and layered, and she writes with an easy humour that lightens even the most tear-jerking moments. The third book in the Rose Hill series, Talk to the Heart is also an easy standalone read. A full-of-heart tale of forbidden love, it showcases a web of unconventional relationships, and challenges stereotypes about faith and familial bonds.
