About the Book
Title: Flicker of Trust
Series: Burning Bright #2
Author: Eleanor Bertin
Publisher: Leaf & Blade Publishing
Release Date: February 21, 2024
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
When a woman disappears, Ryan’s past is fair game.
Party animal Ryan Hainstock has made an about-face. He’s now an elder-caring, money-saving, church-going man with bright plans to set himself up farming. Somehow, whether he rates with her or not, those plans always include sweet and smart Lynnie Min and her young daughter. Problem is, Ryan’s past keeps coming back to condemn him.
Lynnie Min, too young for the title of widow, travels the lonely road of single motherhood in a rural community. Her dreams were crushed by tragedy when terrorists claimed the lives of her husband and one of her daughters. While gratitude should fill her heart for the presence of three-year-old Anya, a longing for something more stirs within her. She can’t help noticing the changes in Ryan, a man she once knew as a high school jock.
While their affection deepens, greater forces conspire to destroy their growing love. A murder charge, a kidnapping, a child abandoned…Can Ryan and Lynnie overcome danger and distrust to find each other again?

My Adult Review
Bertin, Eleanor. Flicker of Trust. Big Valley, Canada: Leaf & Blade Publishing, 2024.
Burning Bright, book 2
Mosaic Collection
Flicker of Trust follows Lynnie Min whom we met in book one, Flame of Mercy. Because it has been a while since the first book was published, I wish that Eleanor Bertin had included a bit of a recap to help readers with the “backstory.” While I think reading the books in order would be a plus, I think readers can read Flicker of Trust as a stand alone.
In Flicker of Trust Bertin’s characters learn more about trust and putting the past in the past when coming to Christ.
As a former missionary myself, I enjoy stories that include mission trips or the lives of missionaries. Lynnie Min suffered much loss as a missionary. I really appreciate that Lynnie Min was able to find happiness again after her great loss. Bertin has written a story that shows the importance of trust, a lesson we can all learn.
While the book does have a satisfactory ending, I hope there is more to this series – I’d like to learn more about Lynnie and Ryan as well as Lynnie’s sister and aunt and Ryan’s father who seem to have stories to tell.
The intended audience of Flicker of Trust is adults. I do think the book could be added to a K-12 Christian school library. Due to the sexual sins and murder that are referenced in the book, I think I would label Flicker of Trust for high school only.
I received a complimentary copy of Flicker of Trust. This is my honest review.
