kdurham2's review against another edition
5.0
The third in a series of heart wrenching stories that have an air of Christian fiction, but do not shove their religious views in your face. Written together with country singer, Sara Evans, and well seasoned fiction author, Rachel Hauck - this series hits straight to the heart with each flip of the page.
With a gap in time between reading the second book and this third and final in the trilogy, it was still so easy to get back into Jade's life and be swept away by her struggles and extreme faith and forgiveness. As this is the third in the series, I can't talk too much about the specifics of this book because you must go read the first two before you dive into this one. Jade and Max are a couple that have real emotions and real experiences that help make this book enjoyable. This couple has trials and tribulations just as another other couple.
A job change, a big move, and the struggle to start a family are themes in this book that almost anyone who is reading can relate to, I felt Jade's struggle as she moves for Max to follow his dreams. Whether you are a fan of chick lit or women's fiction, this series would be a perfect start to a cold winter weekend.

After reading the first 2 books in the series, I wasn't sure how you could ever write a happy ending for Max & Jade. This book added a couple of major twists, and still managed a happy ending!
"Love Lifted Me" starts with Max in rehab and Jade caring for Max's son, Asa. Jade is completely in love with Asa. When Max returns from rehab, he is put on probation from his family's law firm. An opportunity to coach high school football is presented; a chance for a fresh start in Texas. Max & Jade take the leap and move. It is around this time that Jade discovers the Max may not be Asa's biological father after all. Jade keeps this secret from Max, worried that such news will upset him and his recovery.
Life in Texas is not as perfect as it seemed on paper. Something is very wrong with the high-school program. People of Colby are less than welcoming to the new coach's family. Together Jade & Max find a way with Asa, find strength in God's plan, and welcome an unexpected surprise (TWINS!!)
This was a good conclusion to the series. I really enjoyed how the characters relationships really grew throughout the series; with each other, their families and with God.
Beautiful read.
