Summary
He just wants to erase his past。
The day Jack—formerly Winston Stewart—walked out of jail， he vowed to keep his conviction a secret。 After all， it wasn’t like he’d committed a murder。 Just a terrible mistake， and he did his time。 Now he wants a new life in a sleepy town where no one knows his name。 Deep Haven is the perfect place to start over as a chef。 The last thing the former pararescue jumper wants is to get involved。 But when Boone Buckam—his friend and the one guy he owes for getting him out of the slammer—asks for help， how can Jack refuse？
She can’t seem to escape hers。
Colleen Decker has already escaped evil once—as a teenager， she was kidnapped by a murderer。 But she’s put all that behind her as a trauma nurse in Minneapolis。 Or maybe not， because a freak mistake in the ER sends her past crashing down on her。 She needs a timeout in her hometown of Deep Haven。 She doesn’t plan to stay—even when she’s roped into the job of flight nurse for the town’s Crisis Response Team chopper。 Colleen’s not sure why she’s drawn to danger， but she’ll be safe enough。 After all， she’ll need training， and her teacher is a handsome former pararescue jumper。 What could go wrong？
But facing the past might put their future together in jeopardy。
When Jack said he didn’t want to get involved， he especially meant his heart—but being with Colleen feels like a fresh start。 He’ll even climb aboard a chopper again， despite his vows。 They’re headed for a happy ending…
But secrets never stay buried in a small town。 And when disaster strikes one snowy night， they’ll both have to decide if the past will destroy them…or if it just might lead them home。
Cozy up to this perfect Deep Haven drama about discovering a season of second chances。

Hangin’ By A Moment by Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson is the fifth book in the Deep Haven series。 If you’ve read other books in the series you’ll recognize familiar faces but if you haven’t， this book can still be read as a standalone novel。 I highly recommend the entire series。 If you want to read more about Colleen’s background be sure to check out Susan May Warren’s book You Don’t Know Me。Jack， former pararescue and current ex-con， is fresh out of prison and looking for a new start。 Hangin’ By A Moment by Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson is the fifth book in the Deep Haven series。 If you’ve read other books in the series you’ll recognize familiar faces but if you haven’t， this book can still be read as a standalone novel。 I highly recommend the entire series。 If you want to read more about Colleen’s background be sure to check out Susan May Warren’s book You Don’t Know Me。Jack， former pararescue and current ex-con， is fresh out of prison and looking for a new start。 Colleen， an ER nurse， is trying to put the past behind her and deal with recent trauma in her life。 Together they just might find more than either of them expected。 But first they each must face the past and learn to trust themselves and others。 Set in the small town of Deep Haven， Jack and Colleen come alive on the pages of this book。 As Jack works to train Colleen for her certification on the Crisis Response Team each character struggles with how they think others perceive them。 Colleen has come so far since her rebellious teen years but still feels trapped by her past choices。 Jack seeks to hide his past and make up for the choices that sent him the prison。 I love that neither character is perfect but they continued to grow and develop throughout the book。The Deep Haven series is a favorite of mine。 I love revisiting previous characters and meeting new ones。 There’s romance， adventure， personal struggles and character growth。 This particular book deals with themes of trust and overcoming fears， past mistakes and new beginnings。 The characters are well developed and the town comes to life with each page。 I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series。 I highly recommend this book as well as the others in the Deep Haven Series。I received an ARC copy of this book from the author/publisher and was not required to write a positive review。 All opinions expressed are mine。 。。。more

Hangin' by a Moment is book five in the Deep Haven Novel series。 This is a nice story that will stand alone， but it does reference people from the previous books in the series， so it is best to read them in order。 This is a very well written， descriptive story that was hard to put down。 I enjoyed reading of the training Colleen did to be able to join the rescue team。 I enjoyed that this story also brought back a family from the previous series and built on what has happened in their lives。 This Hangin' by a Moment is book five in the Deep Haven Novel series。 This is a nice story that will stand alone， but it does reference people from the previous books in the series， so it is best to read them in order。 This is a very well written， descriptive story that was hard to put down。 I enjoyed reading of the training Colleen did to be able to join the rescue team。 I enjoyed that this story also brought back a family from the previous series and built on what has happened in their lives。 This story focuses on faith forgiveness， especially in Jack's life， with his past and his father and with his friend Boone。 I enjoyed that Colleen and Jack have gone to the quiet lakeside town of Deep Haven for a fresh start。I received a comp0limentary copy of this story， this is my honest review。 。。。more

Wow！ This author captured the essence of Deep Haven in Hangin’ by a Moment！ I was captivated from page one and taken on a powerful emotional journey with these characters。I liked that from the very first moment Jack entered the story， the reader knew that he had served time in prison。 It was clear that he was a good man and that there was a story behind why he was there。 I was anxious to know what that story was。 When it was eventually revealed， what had happened made a lot of sense to me。This s Wow！ This author captured the essence of Deep Haven in Hangin’ by a Moment！ I was captivated from page one and taken on a powerful emotional journey with these characters。I liked that from the very first moment Jack entered the story， the reader knew that he had served time in prison。 It was clear that he was a good man and that there was a story behind why he was there。 I was anxious to know what that story was。 When it was eventually revealed， what had happened made a lot of sense to me。This story had the great Deep Haven vibes that come from wonderful interactions with the community of Deep Haven， along with a beautifully developed love story。 My heart soared with Colleen and Jack as they fell in love amid the turbulent situations they found themselves in。 And it plummeted at one point and I felt the pain in my own heart as hurtful words were said in anger。 Wow！ This story is definitely one of may favorites of this new Deep Haven Collection。I received a complimentary copy of this book。 All opinions are my own。You can read this review on my blog:https://brittreadsfiction。wordpress。c。。。 。。。more

Who do you consider to be your family – and how far will you go to protect them？ Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson explore those ideas in Hangin’ by a Moment， the newest installment in the Deep Haven Collection series。I really love this idea – because， in may ways， I have a colorful family， and I bet you do， too。 Even if it weren’t for those people who add some color to the tree， we all have our quirks， and sometimes that can make it difficult to get along – or to know how we fit in。 Chris Who do you consider to be your family – and how far will you go to protect them？ Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson explore those ideas in Hangin’ by a Moment， the newest installment in the Deep Haven Collection series。I really love this idea – because， in may ways， I have a colorful family， and I bet you do， too。 Even if it weren’t for those people who add some color to the tree， we all have our quirks， and sometimes that can make it difficult to get along – or to know how we fit in。 Christenson dives deep into these ideas with this story while adding new characters to the Deep Haven family， and that makes for a really thought-provoking story。Even better is the exciting， perilous moments where strong superhero rescue types are needed – and there are several。 Who can resist a smart， hunky hero？ Add in his background pain and you have a leading man you’ll be cheering on in every page。 I love the way that Christenson dribbles out his backstory， keeping you on the edge of your seat all the while。Hangin’ by a Moment is a thrilling addition to the Deep Haven Collection。 I love the lesson within and hanging out in this fun town。 Warren has created a really cool cast of characters， and each book brings more people to befriend – so grab some hot chocolate and snuggle up with your favorite quilt for this cozy autumn story。 You won’t be able to put it down。I received a complimentary copy of this story from the authors。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

The ultimate story of redemption and second chances。 This is my first meeting with Colleen， but I guess she appeared in one of Warren's earlier Deep Haven books （I've read many of those but not that one）。 She's strong and competent， but a terrifying event resurrects old ghosts and makes her doubt those things about herself。 Who can't relate to that？I loved the adventure feel of this book。 Ride along on some harrowing helicopter transports and fall in love with Deep Haven and its residents all ov The ultimate story of redemption and second chances。 This is my first meeting with Colleen， but I guess she appeared in one of Warren's earlier Deep Haven books （I've read many of those but not that one）。 She's strong and competent， but a terrifying event resurrects old ghosts and makes her doubt those things about herself。 Who can't relate to that？I loved the adventure feel of this book。 Ride along on some harrowing helicopter transports and fall in love with Deep Haven and its residents all over again。I received an copy of this book from the publisher and have chosen to give my honest review。 。。。more

As always it was a great pleasure to return to Deep Haven。 This was such a beautiful story of redemption。 I enjoyed Colleen as the heroine of this tale。 But I really loved Jack。 Rooted for him from the first page。 My heart broke for all he went through。 But it made the ending o so satisfying。 Well done， Andrea for writing this amazing story！

Come on back to the wonderful little town of Deep Haven， MN for the fifth installment in the series。 Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson deliver the goods here and in a great way。 Colleen Decker and Jack Stewart are the stars here as each struggle with inward fears。 Andrea Christenson proves she is a voice to watch in Christian fiction as she fleshed out these great characters。 The spiritual theme is so good， too， as it always is in a Warren book， too。 Our circumstances do not prove our wort Come on back to the wonderful little town of Deep Haven， MN for the fifth installment in the series。 Susan May Warren and Andrea Christenson deliver the goods here and in a great way。 Colleen Decker and Jack Stewart are the stars here as each struggle with inward fears。 Andrea Christenson proves she is a voice to watch in Christian fiction as she fleshed out these great characters。 The spiritual theme is so good， too， as it always is in a Warren book， too。 Our circumstances do not prove our worth to God。 God looks at the heart。 Well done！My thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book。 The opinion here is my own。 。。。more

When Winston Stewart walked out of jail after serving his time， all he wants is a new life complete with a new identity （just call him Jack）。 He was not looking for community， family or love。 I love how sweet this romance was。 Colleen had lost some of her self-confidence because of events in her past and needed someone to speak truth to her。 Jack was that person。 He helped her to see past the stain of her mistakes to her true heart。 In a lot of ways， Jack needed a family to surround him and show When Winston Stewart walked out of jail after serving his time， all he wants is a new life complete with a new identity （just call him Jack）。 He was not looking for community， family or love。 I love how sweet this romance was。 Colleen had lost some of her self-confidence because of events in her past and needed someone to speak truth to her。 Jack was that person。 He helped her to see past the stain of her mistakes to her true heart。 In a lot of ways， Jack needed a family to surround him and show him love。 He found that in Deep Haven。 Together， he and Colleen found balance and acceptance。 Hangin by a Moment is the fifth book in the Deep Haven Collection but can be read as a stand-alone。 Readers will be reminded that none of us are beyond God's redemption as long as we confess our sins with a contrite heart and seek His face。 I received an advanced reader's copy from the publisher through Just Read Tours; a positive review was not required。 。。。more

I loved returning to Deep Haven！ I admired Colleen for stepping in and using her nursing skills to care for her grandmother and for "helping out" the Crisis Response Team！ Things sure weren't very stable on the air evac helicopter！ I'd never want to experience this but enjoyed reading about someone else！ Jack Stewart made me realize we need to take a second look at people instead of just accepting what is on the surface。 I recommend Hangin' by a Moment to others who enjoy contemporary fiction wi I loved returning to Deep Haven！ I admired Colleen for stepping in and using her nursing skills to care for her grandmother and for "helping out" the Crisis Response Team！ Things sure weren't very stable on the air evac helicopter！ I'd never want to experience this but enjoyed reading about someone else！ Jack Stewart made me realize we need to take a second look at people instead of just accepting what is on the surface。 I recommend Hangin' by a Moment to others who enjoy contemporary fiction with a bit of action！ I received a complimentary e-book from Sunrise Publishing。 This is my honest opinion。 。。。more
