I have to admit, I thought I knew how this book would turn out in the beginning. However, as I continued reading, to say I was surprised is an understatement. This book for me did not go as I had hoped, but it was still an enjoyable read.
Maise has always been the baby. The one who got everything she wanted. Never expected to hear a ‘no’ from her family as long as she did what her parents wanted. So when she meets the man she wants to marry, her mother isn’t happy. I mean when his character was introduced, I was perturbed by the situation. However, as the details flow in later, it’s really not as bad as it first appeared. So if you are perturbed by it, just keep reading. I promise it will get better.
The only thing I didn’t like was that there were not a lot of POV’s from Rayne and Baxter. Baxter had a good backstory, which made me create a whole story possibility for him in my head. (I am not a writer though.) I would have liked to see more from them both.
Aside from those things, this was a really good read. I have never before read her books, but I plan to read more. I really liked Rayne and Baxter’s story. I’m a sucker for a second-chance romance, which is why I wanted to see more of them.
I liked that people would get visions from God. Or certain knowledge from God when things were wrong and that they had to pray. It’s beautiful because it shows the level of faith each character has with God and how they trusted Him.
This was a clean book free from any language or inappropriate sexual stuff. There was talk about premarital sex, but it is not put in a positive light. The characters know it was wrong and aim to do right by their mistake.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. I was not required to give a favorable review. All opinions are my own.
