Customer Reviews

Great book to buy

So I bought this book forever ago. I have read it probably 5-6 times. The story is clever, the humor is great. Even though I know the ending I find it difficult to pull myself away from this book. I have to consciously decide to stop reading or I won't get any sleep. There are books you read once and books you need to buy because you'll read them over and over again. This one is a keeper!

Realistic Christians

Finally, a Christian romance novel with realistic characters and some romance. This book has it all - it's funny, it's heartbreaking, and it has romance. No, I do not want to read sexually explicit books, but most Christian romance writers depict the main characters as totally unsexual beings. I truly related to Meghann and Bruce, and the situations we can get ourselves into sometimes, even as Christians. I do not agree with other reviews of this book that criticize it because of the lies. The truth is that Meghann and Bruce are clearly being overwhelmed with guilt for their lies, but see no way out. It also shows the consequences of lying. It also shows that even dedicated Christians struggle with sexual desire, but it can be controlled. Bruce was truly a gentleman who showed passion and desire for Meghann, but he knew his limits and always "fled temptation". Christian writers, please give us some romance in your books. Remember the "Book of Solomon/Song of Songs" in the Bible. Anyway, this is an adorable book and one that I will read again some day. Buy it!!!!

This book was so much fun to read. I could completely feel each characters emotion whether joy or sorrow. I found myself feeling like a part of every scene. I can not wait to read more books by this author. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and eagerly I read this book. I recommend it to you as well as all of my personal friends.

The BEST Book I've read since the Left Behind Series!

This book kept me enthralled all the way to the end. I read the entire book in 24 hours due mostly to the fact that I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning while reading straight for three hours. This is a very romantic novel yet Mary Davis does a great job with the comedy aspect as well. She throws in awkward scenes into the romance making this book spectacular. Great book, Ih was amazed this was her first book. A great accomplishment. I can't wait for her next. A must-read book for all ages!
