"Sloan Parker is an amazing writer. Her work is beautiful and touching and emotional. If you haven’t read any of her books, I suggest you run out and do so!"

Sadonna at The Armchair Reader

"With this story author Sloan Parker proves once again why I'm such a huge fan of her writing. This is by far the best holiday story I've read this season. It's only 53 pages but it reads as a much longer story."

Janna at Rarely Dusty Books

"So sweet and romantic and incredibly well done in such a short format."

Jay at Joyfully Jay

"Thanks to Sloan for bringing this story to life, there is so much more to it than simply a Christmas story and it will be one of those books that stays with me well after I’m done reading, but I will easily read it again as well."

Diane at Hearts on Fire Reviews

"'Something to Believe In' is a touching, poignant love story which reminds us not to underestimate or assume anything when it comes to the power of love."

Lena at Rainbow Book Reviews

"Something to Believe In was my perfect holiday story. Sean and Gavin each had deep emotional pain which quickly drew me in. Through each other they found someone they could trust, lean on and count on. I loved that they eventually found redemption and acceptance together."

Andrea at Reviews by Jessewave

"Ms. Parker does a great job of describing these two young men. You feel their pain, you know their desire for something more. And you also know of Gavin’s desire to do whatever it takes to help Sean... It’s very powerful."
