An extremely chaste Christian romance
I felt cheated when the last book in the series ended before one of the couples had a first kiss and this book began with them already married. In fact, of the 4 couples discussed in the 3 books, we only get to see a kiss from 1 of the 4.
I further felt cheated by how much of the storyline and relationship development took place between the last chapter and the epilogue.
This novel has a very different feeling than the rest of the series, because we begin in a place of panic and anxiety. Also, the male lead isn't a thoughtful, spiritual man. It's a fine fit to the series, in general, and allows the reader the opportunity to revisit Kevin and Dawn's relationship. Also, the author has poked at every insecurity that Linc has ever had, so we get to grow with him, as well.
My favorite scene in the book was about a wife trying to give hints to her husband and how he was clueless about her euphemisms. So realistic! Hilarious!
