    Political dynamo Matt Bellinger understands he has an unyielding responsibility to work hard for the betterment of his community and the world around him. Life, he believes, should be built strictly on effort and tangibles, not an elusive faith. But that belief is challenged when a bill to spearhead volunteerism leads him to canvassing efforts at Detroit's legendary diner, Sal's Place, and a meeting with Heather Cavanaugh. His polar opposite, the street-smart beauty challenges his heart and perceptions. She's the head stylist at Optiva, a trendy, upscale hair salon in downtown Detroit, as well as a tireless volunteer giving back to the city she loves in honor of the God she serves.

    Love blooms, gradually shifting Matt's perceptions. But when a life-threatening illness in his family challenges that fledgling faith, will he be able to hold fast to his newfound beliefs? Will he discover that faith makes all things possible and love makes all things beautiful?

    By Appointment Only by Marianne Evans Oh my I read it and loved it. It had a way of speaking to my heart.

    Heather Cavanaugh, hairdresser and dedicated volunteer to the needy of inner city Detroit, comes face to face with Matt Bellinger, an aspiring politician. Detroit's legendary diner, Sal's Place is the scene of Heather's challenge to ascertain if Matt is worthy of his claims to reach out to those in need, and truly make a difference. Coming from vastly different lifestyles the two face life-changing obstacles, and Matt faces personal battles more complex than any he has encountered in his political life. Marianne Evans has once again proven that she has depth of insight into the hearts and souls of people that few can exemplify with such passion. Her characters are personified with an intensity that the reader becomes a part of the character. Reading this book challenged me spiritually to the point that my faith has become fortified. Marianne's use of biblical references is brilliant and spiritually challenging. By Appointment Only is impressive! Disclaimer: I received a PDF copy

    Wow! This is an absolutely WONDERFUL story! She had me from the first page. I really didn't want to put this one down even for an instant, but at the same time I didn't want to rush through it and have it end. There is so much good I could say about this story that I don't even know where to start. The love between Matt and Heather is so sweet! This is what romance is all about! The genuine heartfelt emotions as this relationship develops just wrap you right up in them! And then, Matt's journey toward God is like another romance all in one. This is definitely one of THE BEST stories I have read!
