Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
This contemporary inspirational romance follows two widowed parents and their children as grief, loyalty, and new attraction collide. One lead still visits her hospitalized husband each week while raising her son; the other is raising two boys after his wife’s death. Faith and prayer are part of how characters cope, and the tone stays largely wholesome with light humor around kids and soccer. Romantic tension builds through friendship and some kissing, without explicit sexual content on the page. Language is mostly clean, with only mild profanity and occasional crude teasing or name-calling. Emotional weight comes from loss, coma, and eventual death of a spouse rather than graphic violence; parents should expect heavy themes about mourning, commitment, and moving forward while children are present in many scenes.

About this book
A stand-alone romance from the Power of the Matchmaker series: BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH Cassandra Webb’s every waking minute is devoted to being a great mother and wife. She takes five-year-old Noah to the library each week, volunteers in his kindergarten class, and even coaches his soccer team. She makes sure her husband’s uniforms are always laundered—even though he hasn’t worn them the last six years—always has his game day snacks on hand, and meets him for date night every Friday—which consists of one sided conversations at his bedside and watching his favorite take out remain untouched. Pearl, a mysterious visitor at the care center, suggests that it is only Cassie’s love still tying Devon to Earth when he has been ready to move onto Heaven for quite some time. If Cassie will but open her eyes and heart, she will discover the path she should travel, one that will bring relief to Devon and much joy to her own life. But Cassie vowed never to give up on him. She never has and she can’t now, even after meeting hapless, single soccer-dad Matt.
