Having received a letter from Jayden after their arrival home from Ecuador, Ben and Tessa had hoped he’d be on his way home soon, but concerns about Jayden’s growing attachment to the young, beautiful Angela Morgan make them wonder if he’ll ever be prepared to leave her and come home to them. They have no choice but to pray and wait.

Meanwhile, Jayden falls deeper in love. He attaches himself to Angie’s family, who have problems of their own in the form of an unexpected pregnancy. Jayden is amazed at how Angie’s parents handle what could be every parent’s worst nightmare in a loving, caring, non-judgmental way.

As Jayden’s sixteenth birthday is celebrated on both of sides of the world, changes are afoot. Jayden has started attending a Bible Study run by Angie’s youth group, and although he’s interested, he needs proof God is real and is determined not to get caught up in any of the emotion. Will he tell her the truth about himself, even if it means he might lose her?

Kathryn goes from bad and worse, but Jayden never expected to see her on the headlines of the news. What has his mother done?

Although they’d rather Jayden was home, Tessa and Ben make the most of their time alone prior to the birth of their baby, but when Tessa is rushed to hospital and Ben is unable to be contacted, all Tessa can do is pray.

Triumphant Love by Juliette Duncan is the final book in the True Love series. It can be bought alone or as part of the box set. It is a cracking novel to end what has been a fabulous series. Its focus is on unconditional love - of a father and of our heavenly Father. Their love knows no bounds and both will do anything to reach out to their children.
The novel shows the need we all have for God and how we must answer Him when He calls. We may feel overwhelmed by His love for us but that is perfectly normal.
There are the themes of new beginnings, answered prayer and persistently believing.
The novel deals with the difficult topics of drug and alcohol abuse as well as domestic violence. These are sensitively done.
I have absolutely loved this True Love series. It has been a pleasure getting to know the characters and following their fortunes.
A fabulous series with godly themes and a faithful Father.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

I loved this book. A very good wrap up of the series, True Love. Writing about such tough issues is this authors forte and she does an absolutely superb job. Emotions are all over this story, both up and down ones. The bottom line for me is that the Lord is all over this story. Each characters growth in spiritual things is geared perfectly for them. I can hardly wait for the next series from Ms Duncan. I highly recommend this book!!!!! I was provided a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I have purchased the 10 book Australian based clean boxset titled The True Love and Precious Love Series Boxset: A Christian Romance by Juliette Duncan and this review was given freely.
The 10 part saga of the Williams family touches on many serious topics that challenge ones faith and health but also provides a picture of the growth, love and comfort that can be found when walking with God. Vivid descriptions are interwoven between heartfelt prayers, family drama and portions of scripture. Includes the titles Tender Love,Tested Love,Tormented Love,Triumphant Love, Forever Cherished,Forever Faithful,Forever His,Unchained,True Love at Christmas,Promises of Love, and A Time to Treasure: Prologue

**Tender Love:
A little ironic. By a twist of fate, Tessa's counselor roommate Stephanie and two puppies bring veterinarian Tessa Scott and recently divorced single father and accountant Ben Williams together. Contains the serious topics of depression, substance abuse, breaching patient confidentiality and abandonment which are tempered by a strong faith in God.

**Tested Love:
The continued saga of the Williams family is a tense one filled with the sad undercurrents of jealousy,miscarriage, suicide, injuries and Jayden's secret relationship with his mother Kathryn in Florida, USA.
Newly weds Tessa and Ben Williams struggle with adjusting to each, a new home,a new church family, a new job and mercurial 14 year old Jayden who is testing the waters to learn his place in the new family while struggling with the loss of his old schedule and security.

**Tormented Love:
This installment of the Williams family saga is transcontinental and features a "the grass is not always greener"undertone complicated by peer pressure and both drug and physical abuse but ending on a hopeful note.
Tessa and Ben join her brother Elliot on a mission trip to Ecuador in hopes of reconnecting in both Faith and love while distracting themselves concerning Jayden's cutting all contact and going to live with his needy and superficial mother Katryn in the USA.

**Triumphant Love:
This final prayer filled complex sequel of the Williams saga features the serious topics of the trials of an unplanned single teen pregnancy, Tessa's pregnancy scare, substance abuse, murder, the threat of Jayden's deportation and touches on elder memory loss but is balanced by a renewal of Faith, the loving aide of two wonderful Christian families and a happy Williams family reunion.
After being gone for a year, Montana resident Jayden finds both his Faith in God and love for Angie Morgan deepening, his homesickness for his father and Tessa growing, and his sense of obligation to his abused mother lessening.

**Forever Cherished:
A touch of irony with a fair amount of drama. This prayer filled sequel features the trials and rewards of a new baby, the beginnings of the Williams family's Misty Morn Christian retreat where Tessa helps her first lodger, depression and suicide troubled Leah Maloney, find Leah's first love and child, relates Tessa's father's progressing dementia and provides an event filled father-son camping trip for Ben and Jayden.

**Forever Faithful:
A second chance at love story where bad things happen to good people but ultimately ends happily with a wedding for the Williams family.
After college veterinary student and Christian youth group leader Jayden is assaulted and receives a life threatening injury from 19 year old Troy Barrett whose drink was spiked, Angie flies to Australia to be by his side only to be followed by her controlling and jealous boyfriend Cole.

**Forever His:
A prayer filled sequel with a nice recap and the story of newlyweds Jayden and Angie Williams's adjustment to each other as they travel and witness. Contains picturesque descriptions of the places and the people Jayden and Angie see during their year long honeymoon trip around the world but also contains Ben and Angie struggles over how to take care of her aging parents and how Ben's boss Brad being investigated for embezzlement will affect them.

**Unchained:
A poignant companion novel to the Williams family saga starting the day well to do stay at home mom Sally Richardson finds out she is penniless because of her accountant husband Brad's gambling addiction and embezzling. This is a prayer filled novella depicting a family's struggle with addiction, communication and self image as they build a closer relationship with both God and each other.
Can be read as a standalone but best if read in sequence.

**True Love at Christmas:
Taking place around the time Tessa and Ben go on their first mission trip, this is a Christmas companion novel to the Williams family saga featuring the true meaning of Christmas, a reaffirmation of Faith, veterinarian Harrison Smith's romance with Zoe Taylor and, the Christmas surprise he and his siblings give their parents.

**Promises of Love:
An emotion packed continuation of True Love at Christmas laced heavily with the theme of loss but ends happily. Promises of Love finds the newly engaged Zoe Taylor and Harrison Smith spending Christmas day with Zoe's extended family and her financially struggling parents, Harrison hoping for a short engagement while Zoe is torn trying to figure out how to make everyone happy while dealing with doubts concerning her relationship with the no-Christian Harrison, her grandmother's sudden illness and with the sudden return of her high school boyfriend Spencer.

Tessa and Ben have heard at last from Jaden but he's not ready to talk other than letters. However, he's told them he found God and things are looking hopeful that he might be returning to Australia if only his mother was in a better situation. Plus Jaden has met Angie and he's not sure he wants to leave his girlfriend. What happens when things take a dark twist for his mother.

I love Tessa and Ben together they still have a lot of growing as a couple to do but they are both willing to listen to each other and grow. In this installment we are seeing more of Jaden's point of view which I think adds to the story. I really liked that the story is written from multiple points of view as we get to understand each of the characters.

This is a sweet christian romance I picked it up because I was reading Australian authors for a Goodreads challenge. I haven't read a christian romance in a long time so I found this series refreshing the romance is sweet and the story is captivating. I enjoyed the author's writing style and devoured the book in one afternoon. I actually read the whole series one after another because I had to know what would happen next to Tessa, Ben, and Jaden.

This is the final installment in the True Love series which I enjoyed reading over the past week. The series does end but the stories continue on in a new series involving the same characters. I truly enjoyed this sweet clean romance and highly recommend you check it out if you enjoy Christian romance.

Wow, what a journey as I read Book 4 in the True Love series! Who reaches 'triumphant love'? Is it Ben and Tessa or is it young Jayden and his beautiful red-haired Angie? Perhaps it is both. I enjoyed following Ben and Tessa through all the trials they faced in their marriage - trying to bring up a teenage boy, trying to agree on how to do this, enduring a miscarriage, work problems, church gossip and then the unexpected disappearance of their son/step-son and trying without success to find him. Unanswered emails and phone calls just adds to their stress and depression. In the meantime, Jayden endures some extremely unexpected occurrences while living with his mother. This young boy has to grow up much faster than normal as he takes on the task of trying to care for his wayward mother.

I would highly recommend this four book series to young people of all ages, from 13 to 100. There is something for everyone in this series and Book 4 also has some very thoughtful Biblical teaching which we all can benefit from reading. I am looking forward to reading more about this family in future books. Well done, Juliette Duncan!

When Jayden met Angie and her family his life changed. Being with them, he saw what a real family was like. When Jayden started going to Bible study to spend more time with Angie, he was surprised at the feelings he was having about God. The pastor and the kids in his group are all truly amazing people. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan treated Jayden like a member of the family. When Jayden's mom ends up in trouble they take him into their home. Ben decides to come to America to make sure Jayden was okay. When they go home Tessa can't believe the way Jayden has changed. You will feel God working on these amazing characters. This book deserves a higher rating than a five star review. This book is impossible to stop reading. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. The words in this review are my own honest thoughts and reaction to this book. Juliette Duncan is a amazing author, her books will bring you closer to God.

This is an extremely satisfying ending to the series. As we have followed, Ben, Tessa and Jayden, we have seen how God is faithful and always with us even when we aren't aware of Him. Ben and Tessa have strengthened their love, faith and marriage through the trial of Jayden's absence. Jayden has grown to understand God's love and his parents as well.It was refreshing to read a story that was grounded in reality. The situations, the emotions and the anguish were what we face in our own lives. And of course, the happy ending is gratifying! Great job, Juliette! I received this ARC for an honest review.

Wow. This series has put me through the wringer. I thought the first book was great, but now that I'm at the fourth book and I look at is as a one long story? Wow. It is simply incredible. This book is the rainbow after the storm, though there are still some showers. We were introduced to more characters' perspectives in this book and I think it really lent well to the story.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I read Triumphant Love as part of the four book set which I received as a complimentary copy though I had already bought 2-4. I voluntarily reviewed them. Since I read them all together, I cannot remember where one started and one ended. But the overall theme through them was their struggles in their faith and how they grew through them, therefore strengthening their faith.

Juliette Duncan chose the perfect way to end the True Love Series.

Triumphant Love is a story about forgiveness and new beginnings. This book has a little bit of everything – from deceit to teenage pregnancy to drug addiction. Jayden goes through so much in such a short amount of time, and he is faced with very difficult decisions. Through it all, the people who love him the most never lose faith that God will work on Jayden’s heart.

When Jayden finally decides he wants to know more about God, he approaches it from a very academic point of view. He doesn’t want to just accept what he is being told at church and Bible study. He wants solid, scientific proof. Jayden does his own research while becoming more involved with the youth at the church he attends with Angie, his girlfriend, and her family. Although Angie and her family are devout Christians and very involved in their church, they never pressure Jayden. They talk when he wants to talk and never cease praying for him.

Meanwhile, back in Australia, Ben and Tessa do their best to move on with their lives without Jayden. Their hearts ache to have him home, but they always turn to prayer and never lose faith in God. He has His own plays for Jayden.

This book really pulled at my heartstrings. The one constant that has been the strongest throughout this entire series was Tessa’s faith in God. When I wasn’t reading, I often found myself thinking about Tessa and all the times that may have turned out differently had I been more like her. I cannot change things in my past, but I can try to be more like Tessa in the future.

The final book in the series was just as delightful as the others.

Great conclusion of the series. Especially relevant to modern day America. Besides being a fine read, I felt it had a lot to teach all of us as Christians. Excellent story and fun reading.

Unimaginably painful

When Jayden disappears, Ben and Tessa aren't prepared to find out that Ben never got a custody order when his ex wife left and she's lured her son into leaving for the states with her. Getting him back may not be as easy as they expect.

Triumphant Love, written by Juliette Duncan, is book 4 of the True Love Series.

This book neatly wraps up the Christian Romance story that we've been following over the last few months. Jayden is still in the USA when the story returns and have returned to Australia from their stint in Ecuador as mission helpers. Throughout their stay (both Jayden in the USA and Ben & Tessa in Ecuador) they have all grown up in different ways. Jayden has fallen in love with Angie and her family unit. He's been introduced to a personal relationship with the Lord through his relationship with Angie and her family. Ben and Tessa have seen the Lord work in so many ways while Jayden has been away. They all can't help but be thankful for the time apart to learn and grow.

I enjoyed how Duncan closes the storyline and encourages the reader throughout to grow or renew their relationship with the Lord.

Each story in this series has had a conclusion to one aspect within its own pages, but this concludes the complete storyline in a wonderful way...some that might surprise the reader and others that just make you feel the hug between the characters. Overall, it's a wonderful romantic series of a struggling family and how the Lord can help throughout those struggles. Even though things don't go smoothly, they can still glorify the Lord.

I was given this book by the author. I recommend this book and series and all thoughts and comments in this review are my own.

I was given a copy of this book but have chosen to review it voluntarily. Juliette has continued the story of Jayden and his search for love in this final book in her true love series. Ben and Tessa continue to long for a reunion with Jayden while continuing to trust God with Jayden's well being and eventual reunion. Once again Juliette deals with real life issues that people struggle with. in living life and honoring God. I really liked the characters of Angie and her parents Bethany and Robert and the seeking of the Lord and His wisdom throughout the book. Juliette has said this is the final book in her True Love series, but I certainly hope not. The book ends on a positive note, but still leaves the reader wondering what happens with a few of the characters in this story. Juliette, please write another to let us know what happens to Jayden's mom and to Harrison and Zoe! Juliette has shown through this series that True Love is only available through first seeking and understanding the unconditional love of God demonstrated through His son Jesus! I would recommend this book to others. I also would strongly recommend that the reader makes sure to read the first three books in the series so this one makes sense.

Wonderful book! I like how this story summed up the first 3 in the series. Such a sweet, clean romance. So encouraging to read a book that displays God's truth throughout. This story really spoke to me about God's love and forgiveness when we make mistakes. I love the way Juliette builds the characters in this series. It was so neat to see the growth and maturity in Jayden and how he came to Christ. Very uplifting book.

In this book by Juliette Duncan the story of Ben, Tess and Jayden continue. Once again the author does not disappoint. This book had me cheering and crying and feeling as if I were there watching it as it unfolds.
You see God working in all of their lives. Hope is real if you have faith. This book is by far the best one yet.
They just get better and better.

Great ending to this series. You see such spiritual growth in all of the characters. A clean romance that also focus on family problems with Christ as the center of their relationships. Would love to read a book about Jayden and Angie's future.
