Honestly, I used to love reading sweet Christian romances but I just don’t think they are the right genere for me anymore.  The book concept I thought was interesting but I had a hard time getting hooked by the actual story.  

Also, a lot of the plot devices seemed a bit contrived and the big tense scene doesn’t even really get fully resolved (someone gets hurt and it’s clear they are ok but there isn’t a good circle back).  Plus, one of the main characters mother is in an unhealthy relationship and she makes a comment about how she’s just accepted she won’t have a healthy marriage but she’s got God so that’s ok…and that does not sit well with me at all.  All of that made it hard for me to really enjoy this book.
