Sabrina is set in the late s and is a story of a prostitute who left that life, moved to another town, and tried to start life again - a totally new life. I must admit, as I started reading, it didn't have the same heart wrenching hold on me as Redeeming Love did.

Editorial Reviews. Review. "In the s frontier town of Denver, Colorado, Danny, a kind Sabrina (Big Sky Dreams Book 2) - Kindle edition by Lori Wick. From bestselling author Lori Wick comes the moving second book in the Big Sky Dreams series. Sabrina Matthews, a young prostitute in the rough frontier city of.

Francine truly has a gift in her writing, and this book didn't flow quite as perfectly. Yet, it was still good. And got better as the story drew you in. In the story, not only does Sabrina find a man that can love her gently and truly despite her past, but she also attempts to befriend and be kind to women in this new town that are living the life that she once lived.

It made me think of a lot of things. It made me think again on the kind of person I want to be. She befriended the "low" and the broken without condition. It wasn't only if they would let her tell them about God. It wasn't only if they changed their ways. It was with genuine love and compassion for the person who was within them - regardless of their current actions on the outside. It made me think of Shelley Lubben and not only her amazing testimony, but her dedication to keep going back into the places where she was once bound to help others find freedom for the lifestyle that once held her captive.

It made me think of many friends and people I've met in various Exodus ministries and the love and compassion and understanding they display - reaching back into their old lifestyles, and loving people whether they choose to seek the same kind of freedom that they found or not.

It made me think of the book I have yet to LJ about, and which as not a "Christian" story yet help a powerful message - "Three Cups of Tea" - where the author lived and loved those of a completely foreign culture and religion and respected them for who they were, in whatever situation they were in - with no conditions. I want to be that kind of person who always loves without condition and isn't afraid to get my hands "dirty.

Not to be someone's Holy Spirit. But to simply live a life that's an example in all I do. Jun 16, Melissa rated it it was ok Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

I have never had any real interest in Western Romances, but my Mom gave me this book to read. I also know that Lori Wick has been writing books for years and is very popular. That is why I was very surprised and felt awful when I absolutely disliked this book from the first page.

The writing style felt very stiff in places and at times felt the book had two authors and a very poor editor. At points in the Let me preface my review with the fact that I have never read a Lori Wick book before this. The story concept of Sabrina was good: A prostitute that is reformed and finds love and trys to help other prostitutes out of their desperation. However, the storyline seemed forced I think she would have been better served to focus the book entirely on the title character and build the story around her only then try to fill in with other characters Finally, I just really didn't like the characters.

Because of the writing style, I felt at times they were 10 year olds in adult bodies. Almost as if people in the old west Montana somehow less in IQ then the rest of Americans. I'm not sure if this is Ms. Wick's normal writing style, but unless my mom passes on another one of her books, I'm not likely to spend the money to find out.

Christian Book Previews - Sabrina (Big Sky Dreams, Book 2) by Lori Wick

Feb 20, Rina rated it it was amazing Shelves: Last week I read Cassidy and liked it so much I immediately went and got the rest of the books in the series from the library. Book two was even better than the first and am looking forward to book three. The story starts out in Denver, CO and at first I was saddened because I had hoped the stories would continue to take place in Token Creek. Well, I just had to be patient. Raven is a prostitute.

I also think that the author explained too much, even though at times it was disguised in dialogue. I have never had any real interest in Western Romances, but my Mom gave me this book to read. But there exists a small number of books that, after reading, you have to pass them on in order that someone else can experience the life changing message found within. As much as I loved the other characters in their own books, they come across as boring and one-dimensional in the sequels. The room was warm, but Callie wasted no time in fetching a blanket from the living room and placing it around their guest.

I really, really enjoyed this book. A clean read yep!

The story of S Forgiving oneself of their past sins is a difficult issue no matter what it is that you are guilty of. The story of Sabrina is a wonderful one that did a great deal of good for my heart to read. I was less impressed with Cassidy book 1 , but Sabrina could very easily be read as a stand alone. Once upon a time, I had told a friend that I just could not forgive myself for something, even though I knew that Christ had forgiven me, his response was, so basically you're saying God's forgiveness is not enough?

It was a shocking moment, and this book is equally as powerful to learning a little more about myself as well as enjoying a great story with romance, life lessons in scripture, with a little western action mixed in as well.

But will her willingn In the frontier town of Denver, Colorado, Sabrina Matthews is given a second chance to escape the perilous life of a prostitute by a policeman and his wife. But will her willingness to help others in Token Creek drive away the first chance she's ever had to fall in love?

Or was it a dream that was out a reach for a woman with her checkered past? When I initially began the story about a prostitute, I was wasn't sure I was going to really get into and enjoy the book. Sabrina surprised and entertained me with it's characters, their relationships with God and each other, but most of all, their love. Without truly knowing about Sabrina's past, the town accepts and embraces her as their own without questions or reservations.

The story was romantic and a page turner, and her past did not dictate who she became. A recommended read, and a book I will read again. Mar 13, Kim Dennis rated it liked it Shelves: With a few exceptions, I enjoyed this book much more than I enjoyed Cassidy.

It's entirely possible that I enjoyed it more because I had such low expectations. There was A LOT of sermonizing in this I fast-forwarded through some of it, and tuned out a lot more of the rest. I also found myself getting a bit annoyed that everyone was so perfect. I don't read books for realism otherwise I wouldn't enjoy fantasy so much , bu With a few exceptions, I enjoyed this book much more than I enjoyed Cassidy.

I don't read books for realism otherwise I wouldn't enjoy fantasy so much , but I do like to have characters that I can relate with a little. No one ever got angry -- if they got upset, it was really mild and never lasted long. However, the love story was pretty sweet, and I will read the next book in the series.

If I had felt the way about this one that I felt about Cassidy, I would not have finished the series. This is a Christian historical romance book that is fairly predictable and contains a lot of scripture, including the plan of salvation. Sabrina, the main character, was a prostitute who is befriended by the sheriff and his wife who share God's plan of salvation with her and help her get out of prostitution.

Sabrina (Big Sky Dreams, Book 2)

She leaves town and starts a new life, supporting herself by being a seamstress and working in a mercantile. She tries to help other prostitutes and finds love in her new town. Lori Wick uses wonderful character development to keep the reader interested in the lives of everyone involved. Each character has a unique personality and realistic thoughts and fears.

I liked how Sabrina was not the only character to experience tough situations, because in real life everyone goes through rough times. Sabrina is definitely a Christian book, promoting Christian living from beginning to end, involving overcoming temptations and providing encouragement for others. Throughout there are examples of companionable strengthening through Bible studies and conversations that can be applied to modern-day life. This is a very good book for women, both young and old, though some men might also enjoy it. I highly recommend it.

Sabrina Matthews, a young prostitute in the rough frontier city of Denver, is befriended by a police officer and his wife. She's certainly young," Callie said, thinking of the large blue eyes that had stared at her, framed by an abundance of wavy black hair. Callie had to smile. She looked at you as though you were mad. They both heard water in the other room and exchanged another look. They had no idea if Sabrina Matthews would listen to a word they had to say, but that didn't change what they'd started. At the very least, they had one more person they could pray for, and they knew that God could work in ways they never saw or understood.

Callie had not skimped on the portion, and Sabrina thought she was going to burst. No matter what the reason you got involved, it's wrong to sell your body. God has better for you. Sabrina's heart began to pound at the mention of God. Part of her wanted to run for her life, and part of her couldn't move.

The Bible also says that Christ died for that sin, and if you'll trust in Him to save you, He will. It hurt my heart to see how young you were, but even if you were older, I would say the same thing. Was I high-handed to grab you that way? Do you have the option of leaving here and forgetting this ever happened? But I took a chance that you might want to hear what I have to say.

Sabrina licked her lips. She did want to hear what he had to say, but a part of her felt he didn't understand. She had to say as much. David was a king, and he used his power as king to have a man killed so he could have that man's wife. The sins David committed against God were serious, but he knew that God knew all about those sins. David also speaks in Psalm 51 when he's broken and wanting God's forgiveness: Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Danny stopped reading and looked at Sabrina. She looked pale and sober. He watched as she reached and shut the book, studying the words HolyBible on the front and then opening it again to Psalms. She licked her lips but didn't speak. Tears had filled Callie's eyes as she watched Sabrina, and the slight movement of her lips told Danny she was praying. Sabrina nodded and said, "I didn't think God could look on sin.

Danny and Callie watched her shiver. The room was warm, but Callie wasted no time in fetching a blanket from the living room and placing it around their guest. You can stay here with us for a while and think about this. But you do now. You can walk away from prostitution at this very moment. And when we go to church or the women come here to study with Callie, we hope you'll join in. We're not afraid you're going to eat us out of house and home or take advantage of us.
