Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Earning Her Trust
Brenda Minton · 2022
70/100
👍 Worth It
Brenda Minton writes warm, emotionally satisfying inspirational romance and this installment delivers on the genre's promises — a redeemed hero, a believable healing arc, and a service dog who earns every page of screen time. It is formula-driven and readers who don't love Christian romance will find it predictable, but within its lane it is well-executed and genuinely uplifting.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: faith-specific Christian inspirational content — ideal for faith households. We still scored it 70; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
