Reviews
This appealing Christian romance from Noorman (Bittersweet) explores how rash judgments can stand in the way of true love. Rival wedding photographers Maggie James and Simon Walker are both talented, driven, and determined, and love weddings as expressions of the leap of faith. But Simon also feels that Maggie misjudged him when they briefly dated over 10 years ago, and he’s never gotten over her. However, although they have a clear chemistry when they run into each other preparing for weddings, Maggie allows Simon to charm her only briefly before repeatedly shutting him down. The repetition of this cycle becomes tedious as it plays out from one wedding to the next. After one too many rejections—for both Simon and the reader—Simon finally decides he needs to give up. But will his faith in the destiny he believes in allow him to move on? Although the book is heavy on dialogue and light on character development, Norman’s message of faith and perseverance will find an audience with readers of inspirational romance. (BookLife)
