What would you do if you were in jeopardy of losing the man you love and the children you adore to another woman? Carson and Katharine O’Connor seem on the surface to be perfect people—good looking, successful and God-fearing, but no one could accuse them of being too perfect to be believable.
Katharine spends her life building a home and family until the day Carson leaves her and allows a voluptuous, cunning school counselor, Cindy Lomax, and her disturbed pre-teen daughter, Deanna, to move in with him on a temporary, platonic basis—or so he thinks. Katharine must find her way beyond the past and will stop at nothing to rebuild her marriage, to include having breast and buttock implants in order to compete with Cindy’s striking figure in winning her husband back.
When tragedy strikes, Carson realizes it was pure love that guided him to Katharine. Is it too late for Carson to rectify his mistake with her? Will Cindy’s vengeful tactics prevail? Will Deanna’s criminal intention manifest itself? Will Katharine find the strength to forgive, despite the fiery darts that have been thrown at her?
Desires of the Heart is a story of lost and found faith, learning to love yourself, how one man’s selfish decisions affect and endanger those around him, and a stunning glimpse into how man looks on outward appearance but God looks on the heart.
A splendid individual read and an excellent selection for book club discussion.

I’ve read this book by Beverly Taylor and had the opportunity to host the author my online blogtalkshow radio show. Enjoyed it!
Happy readings!

This was a fantastic book I especially loved the way the author allowed the reader to get into their heads. We were able to hear the voice of God when each character knew they needed Him. One of my favorite quotes in the book came from Natalie; Katharine’s best friend Natalie; Sometimes even a soft voice is powerless against a broken heart.” this speaks or should speak volumes to all of us when we are dealing with folks we love whose in pain.
