Reviewers on Awakening Mercy!
“Ms. Benson paints a fine picture of the trials of a couple who must rely on their faith to make a go of a relationship in this 4-1/2 star read. She is just as compelling a writer in Christian romance as she is in contemporary.” -Affaire
de Coeur
“A breakthrough Christian romance featuring African American characters and universal themes by [a] talented author. . .this is for all collections.” -The Library Journal
“Ms. Benson, with AWAKENING MERCY, reinforces her place as one of the most talented writers of romance fiction in whichever genre she writes. This book, her first inspirational, confirms that she writes with emotion, only now her message is strengthened by her strong faith in God.” -Romance in Color
“. . .this tender love story [is]. . .a multicultural romance to enthrall any reader.” –
Romantic Times
“Angela Benson is a good storyteller. . .The author has not created plaster saints, but real men and women who grapple with real-life issues.” -The Romance Reader
“This novel by Benson, a first-time Christian-market author, pricks the conscience and stirs the soul while entertaining. Recommend to romantic fiction readers and to high school students, as it illustrates that actions have consequences.-CBA Marketplace
