Sometimes, what looks like a dead end, is really a new beginning. A horrific accident changed everything for Parker Wilson. Unable to find solid footing in his disrupted life, he returns to his family's ranch, a place he thought he'd left behind for good. The scars on his face are a daily reminder of all he's lost, yet his mom still insists he needs to stop hiding and live his life again. The beautiful new employee she hires is the last thing he needs, despite his mom's best intentions, and he'll do whatever it takes to make the girl quit and regain the peace and quiet he prefers. Nothing short of desperation would force Chelsea Blake to work on a local cattle ranch. But if she's going to avoid her parents' judgment when they arrive in three weeks, she must turn the temporary job into a permanent one. Between dodging mud, feeding longhorn cattle, and dealing with a handsome boss who keeps giving her the cold shoulder, staying gainfully employed is proving to be a challenge. Chelsea may not be cut out for ranch life, but her determination to succeed is stronger than Parker's efforts at forcing her to leave. Unprepared to discover all they have in common, if they set aside their initial dislike, they just might find joy beyond measure.

A car accident a year ago scarred Parker's face and arm, leaving him self-conscious, without his rodeo career, and semi-reclusive on his family ranch; when his mom hires Chelsea to help with office tasks, they get off to a shaky start, but she's determined to keep the job, to show her parents she's doing fine.(Though reviews are inherently subjective, I prefer to provide some organization to my opinions through the use of a personal rubric. The following notes may contain spoilers.)
Plot and Setting: 4.5 -- Plot is engaging. Has unique elements and no major holes, but a few cliché/predictable bits. Setting is clear and believable. Timeline is clear and consistent. This is a very sweet romance, if a bit predictable. The romance element itself wasn't the main conflict, which I appreciated; instead, Chelsea is mainly struggling with her relationship with her parents, and Parker is coming to terms with his post-accident life, scars and all. Details about the setting and time passing are woven in nicely. As are the brief references to Tuck's family members who were stars of previous books in the series.
Characters: 4.6 -- Relatable, realistic, interesting, dynamic characters. Some minor characters have depth, while others may be slightly stereotyped or simplified. Strong relationships between characters. Chelsea and Parker both felt very real, from their thoughts to their interactions. Since the main conflicts in the story relate to how they see themselves, we get a good look at who these characters are. We also see some depth and nuance for some of their family and friends, while others (notably Chelsea's parents) remain fairly shallow characters -- on purpose, in their case.
Mechanics and Writing: 4.2 -- A handful of typos, punctuation issues, or word errors. (<15/100 pgs) None of the errors seriously hinder understanding. Good use of POV. Generally skillful writing. Errors include: A few very mild punctuation errors, miswording, and small continuity errors (like Parker picking Chelsea up once and setting her on her feet twice). POV alternates Parker and Chelsea.
Redeeming Value: 4.6 -- Well-developed, central, uplifting themes. Drugs, alcohol, violence, etc, are not glorified at all. No explicit sex scenes. Implied moral guidelines for behavior. Very clean story. Parker learns that his attitude and actions can leave a more lasting impression than the scars on his face. He also recognizes that good has come from his accident, though he had been angry at God about it. He starts praying again. Chelsea comes to terms with her parents' unreasonable attitude toward her and how she is choosing to live, even when it results in them painfully withdrawing.
Personal Enjoyment: 4.5 -- I liked it a lot. Highly enjoyable and very entertaining. I’d enjoy reading it again.

Finding Joy Love Compass Volume 5 Melanie D Snitker 9780997528923 Books Reviews
I've read every book Melanie has written, and they have all been fantastic. This one is my favorite so far. It's genuine and floods you with emotions the characters are feeling. It really makes you think about how we treat others and how our outlook on life can be changed with the right perspective. Loved the clean romance as well. Reminded me of when my husband and I met and all the emotions you feel when you meet the love of your life and still feel many years later as you grow together. I was also reminded how NOT to be as a parent. Chelsea's parents are so selfish and place expectations not meant to be on her and her sister. A good reminder to support and love your children as they are. Such a well rounded book! I'll be waiting and excited for the next book!!!
A beautiful, satisfying addition to the Love’s Compass Series. While including characters from the other books in the series, this story focuses on Parker and Chelsea. Grumpy, brooding Parker Wilson has had a year to recover from the devastating car wreck that nearly destroyed his life. “The chip on his shoulder is bigger than the scars on his face or the scars on his heart.” Haunted by nightmares, Parker has lost his girlfriend, his sponsors, his father, and his dreams for the future. “Losing the endorsement had been hard enough. But the damage to his arm had put an end to his rodeo career as well.” He has begrudgingly returned to his family’s ranch, back home to his mom and sister, and back to a million memories of better, happier times.
Her parents had a fit when she left their plans for her behind and followed her sister to Kitner, Texas. Courageous and spunky, Chelsea Blake finds that trying to prove her worth seems an impossible task. “He’s got issues. I have enough of my own to sink a small ship.” Both Parker and Chelsea are plagued by “doubt and self-consciousness.” Chelsea’s strength and confidence grows as she makes a place for herself at Wilson Ranch. This story goes from haunted and contemplative to fun and flirty as the relationship between Chelsea and Parker intensifies. I was immediately immersed into the daily routines of a working cattle ranch. I was drawn to the focus on faith in God, learning to trust again, praying for miracles, and the gift of daily blessings. “It takes real courage to break away…and blaze a new trail.” This clean story is appropriate for ages 12+.
I cannot wait to read the next book in this addictive series.
I love this series but this last book leaves a lot to be desired . I just found it a tad unbelievable you have a person going to school to be an attorney ending up working on a cattle ranch and not believing in themselves along with a rich cattle rancher who has been hurt in a accident. I loved the whole series except for this book, it just didn't hold my attention the way the others did. Maybe if the rancher had been a attorney or if the girl hadn't gone to school to be an attorney it would have made more sense or if the word rich hadn't been used so much I don't know. I love this author and have all her books I just couldn't give 5 stars to this one.
