Gavin and Haley are wonderfully competitive people. The dialogue is fun and believable. What seems light at the beginning turns into a deeply emotional book. I loved the exploration of faith. We dive deeply into the minds and the hearts of Gavin and Haley as they fall deeply in love, and then deal with tragedy and subsequent separation. The book is wonderfully written, and all the emotions are believable. You feel like you’re walking this road along with the characters. This is book 2 in the series, but could be read alone, but now I need to go read book # 1.
This has been one of the hardest love stories for me to ever read. The emotions in this story are raw. The circumstances of the people involved are disheartening. But making it to the end is well worth the trip. I hope that you it too.
Borrowed via Kindle Unlimited on 20 March 2019. This is my honest review.
A good read!
wonderful characters… believable story and kept my interest throughout. I loved that it was clean and wholesome. The story was well told and moved along at a good pace. Nice read.
This was another series where I had to get all of the stories. The front cover of this one features a hound dog with “naughty” written across his Santa hat. Get ready to get your giggle on as you read about the Holidays and Haley and the errant “hangdog.”
When Haley Martin and Gavin Holiday fall in love, it promises to be forever. Until.
Obeying the advice of her controlling mother, Haley pushes Gavin away at a time in her life when she needs him most—and that without an explanation. They are both lonely and heartbroken and Gavin is tempted to make a mistake that will ruin his life.
The only hope and healing available to them comes within a framework of faith—but both of them have begun to question God’s involvement in their lives.
Tamie Dearen has written a gripping romance that portrays life and love in all its intricate and amazing facets, and showcases the love and faithfulness of God.
