Love's Trials
Revolutionary Heart - Book Two
by Janice Jarrell
Colin and Joshua faced the most harrowing ordeal of their lives with love and courage. Believing they'd survived their trial, they looked forward to a future filled with happiness only to discover that the worst was yet to come. Sometimes surviving is the toughest trial of all.
After half a lifetime spent in short-term liaisons that allowed no intimacy, charismatic Irish police officer, Colin Campbell, found the love of his life. Dark-eyed, steady Joshua Abrams burned through Colin’s emotional barriers and taught him to look at life through new eyes, eyes that made room for the love and closeness he had always denied himself. Deeply in love and completely happy, their life together remains idyllic and their fiery passion for each other seems limitless.
They survive the Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' riots, though not without scars. But later that month Colin’s position with the campus police force places him in charge of an informant program designed to crack a dangerous drug ring. Fully aware of the risks, he swears to Joshua that he will oversee the program without becoming directly involved. But Colin's promise shatters when he becomes the only thing standing between a young Nigerian exchange student and a deadly drug lord.

Momma Says: 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
An emotional roller coaster! I'll admit that I went into this second book in the series with some trepidation. I liked Colin and Josh in Love's Magic, but Nate and David had my heart. Thankfully, I did get some time with them in this one, and while they still have me, Colin and Josh have their place in there too. Love's Trials is loaded with angst and turmoil - actually, a bit more than I normally care for. However, here's where this author wins me over - The characters. They're real, like reach out and touch them real. Throughout this story, I wanted to shake some sense into both Colin and Joshua more than once, but I spent equal amounts of time wanting to hug one or both of them. These guys frustrated the living daylights out of me while still pulling at my heartstrings, making me root for their happy ending. Janice Jarrell seamlessly blends real world events with the traumas and trials of her characters. The story is real, raw, and emotional, and filled with the ups and downs that tragedy can bring about in a relationship. It is angsty and at times, heartbreaking, but it's also a story of hope and finding your way through the darkness with friends and loved ones.
