They had both declared themselves done with romance and love. God, however, had other plans.

Her: “My marriage, career, and reputation just crashed around me and eliminated the little trust I had left in myself to make good decisions. I packed my bags, shook the dust off my feet, and started driving, begging God to tell me where to go. He brought me to a tiny, charming Northern Michigan town, where I’m recreating my life from scratch – without men.”

Him: “My whole world turned upside down when I lost the love of my life and had to start over as a single father. I am now both mother and father to my little girl and have built my life around taking care of her; and protecting my heart from ever being hurt like that again. Love is not a part of my life anymore.”

God: “We’ll see about that.”

Can two people who have sworn off love stop fighting their attraction long enough to see that God is doing something? Can they trust Him enough to risk giving happiness another try?

My first book by Katherine Karrol. I was excited to read another contemporary romance set in northern Michigan!

This sweet, slow-burn romance starts right off where many stories don’t: with an already repentant and seeking heart. Emily’s already aware of her mistakes and already asking God for help. She just doesn’t know where or when it’ll come or what it’ll look like. Meanwhile, Joe’s not really looking for anything. He sort of falls into it, but he’s not sure what to do when he gets there.

Lots of heart. Super sweet. A sincere focus on God and his guidance. If you’re looking for an sweet Christian romance with as much emphasis on God’s love as there is on the romantic love, I recommend this book!
