In all, I’d say this is one of the best books I’ve ever read, it was clean, had a good amount of Christianity involved, and showed a wonderful love story of two people who God purposed to be together. I loved it! Highly recommended! . more
I actually got this book over a year ago when it was on sale (for free) on Amazon. I’m not sure why I didn’t read it at the time, I probably wasn’t in a western mood, but now I’m sad I waited so long to read it. I thought this one was super cute. I just loved Hannah and JT. She is so naturally kind to people and sees the good in everyone. I also liked her independence and how brave she was to move to a new city an I actually got this book over a year ago when it was on sale (for free) on Amazon. I’m not sure why I didn’t read it at the time, I probably wasn’t in a western mood, but now I’m sad I waited so long to read it. I thought this one was super cute. I just loved Hannah and JT. She is so naturally kind to people and sees the good in everyone. I also liked her independence and how brave she was to move to a new city and start her own business. She’s also got spunk and I got a kick out of her workout routines she would do every morning. I also liked JT, who starts off as a rather judgmental little grump, but you just can’t help but like him. When you get to know his history you understand some of the prejudices he has. What I admired about him though, was that he was willing to take a second look at his beliefs and admit when he was wrong. Hannah and JT have great chemistry and some incredibly sweet moments together, and some funny ones too. I LOVED that she insisted on calling him by his given name Jericho, knowing it drove him bonkers.
I also liked the theme of the story, about pride, vanity, and finding a balance with worldly things. It seems like most Christian books are all about forgiveness and I admit this was a nice change of pace.
I admired Hannah for a lot of reasons; she’s someone I would want to be more like
I https://tennesseepaydayloans.org/cities/bartlett/ think she writes really likable and believable characters, with fun settings and plots without being overly preachy. For the most part the Christian elements have been pretty tame and seem to be more a part of the characters true personality and not overly preachy like some Christian novels. I wouldn’t mind a few more stolen kisses, but so far the romance in both books I’ve read have been a lot of fun.
I’m quickly becoming a fan of Karen Witemeyer
Hannah Richards arrives in Coventry Texas with the deed to a dress shop, energized and ready to live her dream of ministering to others through her skill in making beautiful clothes. The gruff livery owner across the street is a walking contradiction–he snubs Hannah for promoting vanity to the Coventry women and owning a property he’s been trying to buy for years, but then goes out of his way to perform little acts of kindness for her.
I enjoyed Jericho and Hannah immensely.
