First of all, this is a clean, faith-inspired romance. No bad language, no sex, and truly nothing objectionable in it at all. The heroine of the story makes clear that she will not have sex before marriage, and our hero has some issues to solve in that area, but other than that, the story is wholesome and presents Christian values. The book is never preachy, hence, my term “faith-inspired.”

I will admit that it took me a while to warm up to both Tara and Luke. While their characterizations are perfectly fine, I felt that the story was a bit incredulous at times and strained reality, even for a romance. But that is merely my personal opinion. I struggled to accept Tara’s decisions and the way in which she ultimately made her decisions. I felt Luke was a little too controlling and pushy at times. However, in the end, I felt more comfortable with things, thus making it a true romance.

I found parts of the book entertaining, and the writing style was pretty easy to read. For a quick, nice read, this is the ideal book for a Friday or Saturday night curled up in front of the fire or on the beach in the afternoon. The story is enjoyable and has a few fun twists and turns along the way. I believe the author knows her target audience well, and she has delivered exactly what is expected in story, character, and charm.
