An inspiring Christmas novel with realistic characters.
This is a nice bit of escapist reading which will make dog lovers smile.
Good story
Sweet love story with a message of faith.
Enjoyable book for the holidays. Was a quick , easy read.
A real quick read. Perfect for this time of year
I enjoyed this book , but I found myself getting angry at the manipulations of the heroine’s mother. But I did enjoy the ending and I loved the manipulations of Bojangles! Even though Haley protested vigorously!!
I really enjoyed it! It was like watching a Hallmark movie. I enjoy when there are dogs in the book!! The basset hound was so funny-a real stubborn one.
Good story, a little sad in some places as life sometimes is, but at least they ended on a good note and we get our HEA.
I really enjoyed this clean christian romance. I enjoyed the humor in the book. There is a wonderful song I enjoyed along with this quote “That’s an honest song about someone who feels alone & questions GOD, someone who has doubts & fears, but decides to trust the Lord anyway. And if you think about it, a lamb would still be afraid of things, even though he follows his shepherd.” I am glad this statement encourages us to focus on JESUS & trust Him. I never thought about it that way. So for me it was a statement to remember in my life when I have trials. So thanks to the author. I received this book as a complementary copy but this is my honest opinion.
Beautiful
Another great story in the series. This one made me cry. When two competitive people it’s always fun too see them come together. Haley really doesn’t like dogs, has a overbearing mother, a great big brother. Gavin is her competition both in college & life. Can God help them both.
I am loving this series of holiday stories. They keep getting better. Once I started this story, I got nothing else accomplished until I finished it. A wonderful, Christian romance with very believable characters and the bumpy road we travel. This story has humor, pathos, life changing illness, characters struggling to be better Christians, and lots of faith. The basset hounds add a whole other dimension to the book.I will read this one again.
Light heated easy read
I like books based on faith, both fiction and non-fiction. A happy ending is a must in fiction.
A really good book with a wonderful ending.
A good Christian read. Life isn’t always fair, but it all seems to work itself out in the end.
I don’t think I have ever read a Tami Dearen book that I didn’t love. This is no exception. Well written, flowing story about complex people living life and trying to do what is right. Inspirational.
Oh my. Touching–I both wanted to smack and hug Haley, but mostly I wanted to cry with her. Oh, Sweetie….
I think this book is geared more to college age, I didn’t care for it but I am sure younger people might enjoy it.
A good, clean read. A great uplifting book for a quiet day. I will read more from this author.
