She can’t have both.
After all they’d been through with Jayden in his younger years, his parents, Ben and Tessa, are struggling to understand how God could allow this to happen. He wouldn’t let Jayden die. Would He?

4 stars 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
**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.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Williams, your son is in intensive care in Royal Brisbane. He’s in a coma after receiving a punch to the head…He was assaulted…I’d suggest you come straight away. Your son may not make it.”
A phone call no parent ever wants to receive is how Ben, Tessa, and Jayden’s stories begin in Forever Faithful. After all they have endured – all the heartache, all the triumphs – Ben and Tessa find themselves faced with the most difficult challenge of all. They could lose their son.
When Ben and Tessa get to Brisbane, they are faced with even more heartache. Tessa’s parents, Eleanor and Telford, live in Brisbane, so they will be watching Ben and Tessa’s daughters Naomi and Bella. However, Telford’s dementia has progressed to the point that he doesn’t know who Tessa is, much less Ben, Naomi, and Bella. How can they deal with so much heartache and uncertainty thrown at them all at once? The answer is simple: “God truly was their refuge and strength amidst all that life was throwing their way.”
No matter what Ben and Tessa face, they never take their eyes off God. They never lose their faith. Juliette Duncan reminds us that “Anything worth fighting for requires faith and trust, commitment and application, but along the journey God builds character.”
As I read Forever Faithful my heart ached. Just the thought of enduring the pain and challenges they faced brought tears to my eyes. At the same time, I found myself talking to God more often. Instead of being so quick to react to situations, I now find myself pausing and praying for guidance and strength to get through the struggles I face day to day.
I am so grateful for these books by Juliette Duncan and for the example of the characters in these books. I love the underlying theme and pray I can emulate the example given by Ben, Tessa, Jayden, and many other characters in this series about faith, love, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
Almost as soon as they met, Jayden and Angie were a couple. They felt an attraction long before the realized they were falling in love. After all, they were teenagers. They met in Australia where Jayden lived with his family. Angie was from Montana, in the USA. Would they even see one another again when Angie returned to her home after a summer at the beach and at Jayden's parent's home on a large property that included camping cabins. At the end of the summer, Angie flew back home to Montana to continue her education. They communicated, and Jayden even visited Montana.
Some time later, Jayden was badly injured in a fight on the beach by someone who was also interested in pursuing Angie. He sustained a serious head injury when he was hit over the head. Will Jayden lose interest in Angie? Or will this attack encourage him to contact Angie to see if their feelings for each other are still the same? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed this sweet love story and I hope you enjoy it also.
Truly a story of love and forgiveness, with likable strong Christian characters. I was a little disturbed by how Troy was portrayed with his language, his thoughts about himself and others thoughts about him. I was also bothered with how Jayden explained the plan of salvation to Troy. I know it is difficult to write a light, fluffy love story and provide solid Biblical teaching at the same time without coming over as being preachy. Perhaps something that would have a character say "I will start studying the New Testament with you and take you to church with me where you will learn more about what God requires of you as A Christian" would help fill in that incompleteness. The assumption was there, especially with Jayden's Mother, but not so much with Troy. Looking forward to reading more by Juliette Duncan.
This is the best one yet from Juliette. I have read all of her books and fallen in love with the Williams family. The strong faith of Ben and Tessa and their genuine love for helping others understand the mercy and depths of God's love and forgiveness shines through. The faithfulness of the love of Jayden and Angie that crosses continents is another amazing aspect. Through out this book the reader was constantly reminded that we can trust God even if things don't work out how we think they should. I honestly had trouble wanting to put the book down once I started reading. I would encourage others to pick up a copy of this book and be reminded and encouraged that God's faithful Love is never ending. I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
This is my favorite book by Juliette Duncan yet. It's underlying story is about faith - God's faithfulness, no matter the situation. Ben, Tessa, Jayden, Angela as well as the friends and family we've come to know and love through her series. Tragedy, trials, relationships and romance continue to grow the characters faith and live. In this book, Jayden and Angela's romance comes to fruition. Though it's not an easy road that's further complicated by Cole and Jayden's mom, Kathryn. This book is real - not hokey. The struggles they face are faced daily by many of us therefore making it relatable. By relying on God, they overcome just like we can. Excellent Read!
A story of believing that the Lord is in control and learning to trust Him. Jayden and Angie have been sweethearts and now are friends. Angie drops everything when she hears Jayden has been hurt and in a coma. A love story but also so much more. There was so much going on in this book. I thought the author did a great job of keep the storylines clear but also interconnecting them. Will Angie realize she is in love with Jayden or stay with Cole. I didn't care for Cole and was confused why she even dated him. Loved the title - not only has Jayden been forever faithful to his love for Angie but the Lord is always faithful to his children.
Nice storyline and good transition into Jayden's adulthood. I'm a numbers lady so getting the timelines right is very important, so Tess getting preggers when Naomi is 10 months will make Bella just under 2 years younger, so 3 to Naomi's 5. The thing I disliked the most about this book however was the fact that the bad guy who punched Jayden had to be black. I honestly cannot see why the introduction of a black person was necessary and why it was important to portray him as the lowlife you did.
Jayden and Angela are best friends that live on different continents. Previously sweethearts when Jayden was visiting the United States, they reunite when Jayden is attacked and in a coma. Angela flies to be with him. Fearing Jayden may never recover, Angela realizes what she really wants. An amazing story of true love, faith in God and the beauty of life and second chances. (I received an advance copy of this book. The opinion in this review is my own.)
Jayden and Angela’s story is truly wonderful. The author will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. The characters in this book are all very special people you will love reading about. You will feel God working throughout this whole book. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review.
Travel to Australia for this story of several loves! Jayden is in a coma for much of the book while his best friend Angie must decide between him and her current boyfriend who is not understanding of her rushing from Montana, USA to Brisbane, Australia! Forever Faithful is well written with several interesting twists. I recommend Forever Faithful to others who enjoy Christian romantic fiction. I received my complimentary e-book from the author. This is my honest opinion.
a heartwarming christian-based story. Jayden now grown is looking to find his own path in the world when tragedy strikes and a act of violence threatened his very life. Juliette Duncan tell the story of how a family can overcome such pain and fear with faith in God and love of each other to find a joyful life.
What a heart warming book. Your heart was pulled in many directions. You felt like God was in their lives and helped them through the difficult spots. It just seemed so real. I would recommend this book, if you like Christian fiction. A wonderful family story, full of love and forgiveness.
This story catches your attention from the moment you open the book. It is about Jayden and Angela and how they are reunited after a five year separation, where they did not communicate much but remained friends. How GOD worked his healing and showing Jayden and Angie their path in life.
I was surprised at the time jump to this book as all the others of their story has been pretty much one after the other, however, I had been hoping for more of Jayden and his story. I was not disappointed! This book really was incredible.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved finding out how the characters developed from the previous stories and can't wait to find out how the story moves forward. Thank you.
This series has been fun to read. I love the honest characters and how life is not easy for them but it's how they deal with it that is so inspiring. Great read but be warned. Once you start it you won't be able to put it down.
I was in tears for the most of this book. There was not one part of it that i wanted to skip over. It kept me enthralled from start to finish. God's saving and sustaining grace was so evident through out and made me so thrilled and glad to be a Christian.
Tessa and Ben received a bad news about Ben son, Jayden : during a party with friends, he was injuried and now he is in coma at the ospital. hard time for the couple, family, friends. the readers feel as they are part of the family, sweet.
Reading about Jayden and Angela and their life plan is so inspiring. The trials they had to overcome was breathtaking. It is so wonderful to see the support they had from family and friends.This is a very inspiring book.
Another great book in this series of precious love stories and about the love and lives of two very young people who love each other and can hardly wait to get married. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill
This story will keep a reader attention to the point in which it is difficult to put it down. Many different facets to the story. Great Christian story. Will not be disappointed. Has many suspension aspects.
An excellent addition to this series. We get to learn more about Jayden and Angela. How that comes about makes for a very tense story. God's grace is abundant in this book.
Juliette never disappoints! Heart warming story of God's wonderful grace! Keeps you reading with anticipation to the very end. Can't wait to read Book 3!
Tightening up the ending would really improve the book. So many details makes it too slow and boring. But a sweet story. Juliette is good at writing prayers.
