Refuge at Pine Lake by Rose Chandler Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.
First of all, this is a Christian romance that is clean and sprinkled with meaningful faith references. From this standpoint, it is a pleasant book with a sweet romantic story.
While I found the story and characters delightful, this story was a little too tame at times for my personal taste. At times, I found myself a little bored. It was not a major issue, but it did affect my overall enjoyment and interest in the story.
However, if readers want a story that is clean, sweet, tender, full of heart, and a quick summer read, this ticks off all the boxes. I can practically guarantee that this will be the perfect summer/vacation/beach read.
