When I began reading this, I wasn’t sure I would like it.  I have read so many vapid, sappy Christian romances, and I am often disappointed in the both story and the message.  Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong.  This is a delightful romance, and I can honestly recommend it pretty highly.  The story and the characters are fun.  Actually, if Reuben is real, I’ll drop everything and marry him now.  And Maddie is an easy relatable character.

I found the message excellent.  In fact, I was reminded that telling God what you want in life is wrong.  After all, who is really in charge?  I think both Reuben and Maddie learned that valuable lesson, and I only wish that real life could be as wonderful and fun as this story.  The book is filled with great humor (I always love that) and one headstrong woman.  And an arrogant man.  Pretty par for the course.

I honestly can’t think of anything that would improve this.  It was refreshing to read a clean romance with no profanity nor sex scenes.  In fact, the characters believe no sex outside of marriage.  They even take precautions to make sure it doesn’t happen.  And there are some neat twists and turns that should heighten your interest even more.

I don’t want to include any spoilers, but I absolutely adored the final line in the book, and it is the ideal way for this sweet book to end.  This book will give you a nice break from real life and remind you that God can do anything even when life doesn’t make sense.

i was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
