The sheriff of Shady Springs, Heath Royal, visits the church for the first time in a long time, and this raises eyebrows among members of the church. At the church, Rebekka, who had been his childhood lover, signals for him to take the seat beside her. Heath and Rebekka realize that, after many years of being apart, they are still madly in love with each other. After the demise of her husband, Rebekka is saddled with the responsibility of managing the ranch alone, and when the opportunity arises for her to hand over management to Heath, her former sweetheart, she does it gleefully. This action rouses jealousy within Sherman, the foreman of the ranch, who is insanely in love with Rebekka. Convinced that Heath is an obstacle to him professing his love for Rebekka, he does the unfathomable to Rebekka, which leaves Heath horrified and almost hopeless.
 
As readers progress through this novel, The Heart Beneath the Badge by George T. Arnold, they will learn about a guy who, although he is described as having a strong will to carry out his duties as the sheriff, actually has a heart as soft as a chicken, as implied by the title of the book. I felt as though the material in this book was released to me in controlled bursts because I was both curious and afraid to turn each page to see what would happen next. The book ensnared its readers in a web of fervor and guts that stifled unanswered inquiries. As we watch, a feeling of admiration is also transmitted for Heath and Rebecca's love, which has endured despite their long separation.
 
The passion with which Rebekka and Heath overcame the falsehoods and slander spread by churchgoers as well as the perilous circumstances aimed to prevent them from discovering the depths of their love are what I find most endearing. Rebekka becomes a woman who has achieved acceptance after growing up in an orphanage without ever knowing love or security. In the eyes of noblemen, they are quick to show their love for her. Her love of painting kept her going and served as a way to break the debilitating effects of her husband's death. Her younger sister had been separated from her since birth, and both of her parents had died of illnesses she was unaware of.
 
Nothing about the book bothered me, and I adored how it played out. Despite several obstacles, love overcame them all. One can still experience the burnings of intimacy even as one ages, and this was beautifully illustrated in this book. Even when I assumed forgiveness would not win out, it did, and each character grew in a way that nourished the story.
 
The book is professionally edited. I found a few errors in it. I rate the book five out of five stars because of how much I enjoyed it and the author's creativity in bringing this engrossing tale to life. I recommend this book to lovers of romance fiction.
