For the most part, I really liked this book.I enjoyed the author's writing style
and humor. Kate Donavon is thirty-one and wondering if God will ever answer her
prayer for a husband. Matt Jarreau is a former pro hockey player who left the
NHL after a tragic loss. They meet when Matt is hired to renovate Kate's
grandmother's childhood home.
I loved all of the characters. Kate and
Matt were very real and believable to me. There were also many humorous tibits
and subplots that livened up the story. However, I was somewhat surprised about
some of the language and lifestyle choices that this Christian author chose to
include in her story. I was surprised that Kate, as a Christian woman, intially
became involved in a romantic relationship with Matt before he became a
Christian. Also, Matt's experience of becoming a Christian seemed kind of rushed
and shallow, as if it was something the author had to slip in in order to make
him equally-yoked with Kate. The last several chapters seemed a little rushed to
me, but I did enjoy the happy, heartfelt ending.
Overall, I enjoyed this
novel and wouldn't hesitate to read another book by Becky Wade in the future.
