4.5 STARS
I figured this was going to be a fairly short, quick romance book that would be resolved fairly fast. Pretty much wrong on all counts Well except that it was a romance but also so much deeper.
I didn't look at how many pages there were in the book before I grabbed it. It was longer than I was expecting.
One of my favorite quotes was when Corina heard the words for her to "love well." And it crops up more times and that adds some discomfort for her. She's not even sure she knows what that means or how to do that.
Both of the main characters were people of pretty good depth. Each had deep sorrows and that isn't even counting their marriage. Their marriage was something that they both thought was null and void. So that document showing up was quite the shock to both.
Nathaniel and the rest of the family were engaging and added a lot to the story.
When the book blurb said that the couple would have a little bit of heavenly help, I kind of skimmed over that part. I was thinking what a great way to put it and that was all. I should have paid more attention because that statement was real. When it showed up in the book, it was like, "Oh, they really meant it." It also added a dimension to the book that I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed. God and Corina's faith is an important part in this story.
It is woven so beautifully in the story.
I have to admit that at one point towards the end the story did bring tears to my eyes.
There were several unexpected twists to the story until it came to a satisfying ending.
There is a Discussion Questions section to this book as well.
